76strad Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 So I was thinking of this, what if the fans at DCI finals (ive never been just clearing that up) were able to somehow vote for their favorite after all the shows, like scanning their ticket and punching an electronic button to vote for their favorite, and before they do all of the presentations of the scores and places, they could hand the crowd favorite trophy to whatever corps the crowd selects. thats what the above poll is about, either that or keep it how it is. Anyways I was just thinking that since everything is changing with all of those electronics and what not maybe that could be an option, it may cause more people to try to come to finals and all? feel free to debate just dont flame the mess outta me. <--- flame suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown won by an internet vote via the Fan Network. Who knows if they will repeat this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I suspect there's a chance that such an audience award could be perceived by some as a slap in the face of the corps that wins, that it might say to some of the marchers that they weren't favored by the crowd. The audience votes with their clapping and with their pocketbook at the souvenir stands. But who knows what the future holds. Ultimately, it's all up to the directors and other members of the Board of Directors. And then there's the Spirit of Disney Award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTNK Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Crown would win it a lot, and it would be mostly dumb (not that those two are causally linked) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76strad Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Crown would win it a lot, and it would be mostly dumb (not that those two are causally linked) But I mean its the fan award of people who are present, it should just be something for a corps that doesnt rank very high to get, cause I mean corps will have som fans come to make sure they win, and in my view the DCI world chapions is the big thing you actually aim for, though I can see the evils in that crowd award Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
