bdkappasig Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I was thinking today about how we compare shows from season to season. What if DCI told corps for one season to pick their favorite show that they have done this decade and 2010 had them all pitted together. so then we could see how 1930 compared to the zone and to frameworks. Obviously the members arent the same so it may be different outcomes. but I still think it would be a cool season! i dont know maybe ive been at work too long and its a stupid idea haha. what do you think.

OdeToArsenal47 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Well that's primarily the purpose of the countdown nowadays. What would be REALLY interesting would be if a corps could pick an all-time show. How would Frameworks fare against Phantom of the Opera, Spartacus (or New World Symphony), etc. etc. THAT would be a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhallman Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Either way, I think everyone would win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoHmempho04 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Would they have the same drill as the first time (the 22 new members would need drill this time around would change a lot)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizon Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 There would have to be too many exceptions. Some corps are the best they've ever been now, and wouldn't want to go back to an earlier show (Crown), and some corps aren't quite as good as they used to be (Madison Scouts), and would have trouble executing the corps best shows of years past. But I know this is only an idea for fun, so I'll try not to spoil it for you. I mean there are so many other problems they would run into that don't make this idea the slightest bit practical.

dbc03 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Wouldn't be very fair to the corps who would pick shows from earlier in the decade compared to corps who would pick shows from the last year or two. Next year BD will still have plenty of members who originally marched 1930. The Cavaliers will have 0 members who marched Frameworks.

boilerman_05 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Wouldn't be very fair to the corps who would pick shows from earlier in the decade compared to corps who would pick shows from the last year or two.Next year BD will still have plenty of members who originally marched 1930. The Cavaliers will have 0 members who marched Frameworks. A "Best of the 90's" year would solve the returning member problem. Also, I think you could alleviate some of the talent problem by heavy advertising of the concept before people audition. Top players would be more likely to go to, say, Boston if they knew they could march their 2000 show, or Glassmen if they knew they could march their 2001 show. Sure people would still flock to shows like Frameworks and Spartacus, but I think it would be a more even playing field than your average year. Shows I would suggest: Blue Devils 2003 - Phenomenom of Cool Crown 2009 - The Grass is Always Greener HNC 2005 - The Zone: Dreamscapes in Four Parts with a Door Cavaliers 2002 - Frameworks SCV 2004 - Scheherazade Bluecoats 2007 - Criminal Boston Crusaders 2000 - Red Phantom Regiment 2008 - Spartacus Blue Stars 2008 - Le Tour: Every Second Counts Glassmen 2001 - Imago Blue Knights 2006 - Dark Knights (or 2001 - Blue Tunes ) Troopers 2009 - Western Side Story Colts 2001 - Chivalry (or 2009, it's a tough choice) The Academy 2009 - The Ascent Madison Scouts 2005 - The Carmen Project Crossmen 2001 - Late Night Jazz Spirit 2002 - Darkness Into Light Mandarins 2006 - Rhythm Nation Pacific Crest 2007 - What Happens in Vegas Jersey Surf 2009 - Mozart Effect Pioneer 2000 - Dances of Brigadoon Seattle Cascades 2002 - City Riffs: The Music of Leonard Bernstein Southwind 2000 (maybe this time they can break into finals?) It would be interesting to see 16 finalist shows trying for 12 finals spots. Edited August 13, 2009 by boilerman_05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
