rifleline14 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) Okay, so lets just assume BD wins with a very high score. Where would they rank against the best Drum Corps of the decade. (Not amount of titles of the decade, but the individual corps this year.) I know Cadets and Cavaliers can make very strong cases for the single year best of the decade. This is not the best show of the decade, just the corps. Edited August 9, 2009 by rifleline14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrunchyTenor Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 In an age of "numbers management", those high scores mean nothing unless you take into account the 12th place corps' score. If that score was a bit on the high side, it's naturally going to inflate everything above it. You can't say one was better than the other when comparing year-to-year. Besides, you left off Regiment 08 which not only scored well, but had the audience practically wetting their pants the last 45 seconds or so. How do you reconcile true audience reaction with judges numbers management? Garry in Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ContraRich77 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 The corps of the decade is clearly the Cavaliers with five titles, if BD wins tonite that makes 3 titles in the decade for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetman1287 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Tough call between Cadets 05 and Cavies 02, but if we're talking about best corps of the decade, I think that has to be the Cavaliers. They really set the standard through 2006 and changed the way visual programs were produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
