East Coast Scores Too High?

[ajwdad]

I haven't seen anyone live and won't until Broken Arrow. The DCI model is, there MUST be at least one corps from each geographic region competing for the title (at least during the season). However the following exclusions apply:

BD must ALWAYS be the corps from the west.

BD will be the only corps that is CLEARLY better than everyone else.

BD may never place lower than 3rd (usually 2nd is as far as they'll be slotted).

BD IS "State of the Art" no matter what the fans think, as they are too uneducated to appreciate the complexities of what BD brings to the field.

If the dominate corps from the Mid-west is the Regiment, the rule - "a corps from each region must be competing for the title" is no longer valid. (This is obviously holding true thus far this season)

I don't dislike BD! I am not thrilled with their programming choices as of late. Even when they do something that is remotely musically entertaining (2011) they find ways (to me) to take the enjoyment out of it by all the other stuff they feel they "need" to do to get the show across.

I will bag on my own corps too (Regiment) when deserved. It is not a reflection on the kids but rather the programming choice. I called "the fall" in '09. I was not too thrilled with most of the shows between '98 & '02.

want some cheese with that whine? Did I detect some sour grapes? You may not "dislike" BD, but your post certainly shows a healthy dose of disrespect and sarcasm. BTW, BD, SCV and Regiment are going head to head a lot this year, certainly early in the season. How is that working out for you? I saw them a few times. I have to check the recaps for the scores to see who won.

Well, the inflation argument has been discussed adnauseum for the past 40 years. Might as well add 2012 too.

But it's fun this time because we're talking about inflation on the opposite coast from the standard inflation trope!
