3rd Glasgow BB Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Unless they had a dog of a show last night, making up the difference in percussion will be more about who the judge is than any improvement in playing. If BD pull out their lead to .2 or more, then I think they will win tomorrow night. If Crown can maitain the gap or even close it then who knows what will happen on Saturday night.

George Dixon Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Now that I've seen the corps live a couple times just want to add my thoughts Brass - VERY good Guard - VERY good Visual Program - much improved, much cleaner than LY - but also, less demand I am not a fan of the uniforms - MUCH preferred the cream. They look like a combination of Magic and BD. Makes the players look 2 feet shorter, especially with the tall hat and the thick strip down the leg. Drill isn't very original - most of the visual things are retread from prior year's programs and/or others programs / so after seeing it live a second time I am kind of already bored with it Percussion is a big issue - I would have had them in 8th last night Personally I preferred last year's program and especially The Grass Is Always Greener Guard is extremely good - I'd put them just below BD only due to staging and originality/vocubularly of work. Stellar Last night's run - they marched a very clean drill, the guard was very good but in spots lacked a little energy. Brass was good but I preferred their performance Sunday night in Allentown -- a little more air through the horsn that night. Ballad playing was magical See BD taking Gold this year with Crown in 2nd Great job Crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistolpete Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 To overcome the one point deficit in percussion, Crown must win GE (which they did last night by .30) and Visual (which they lost last night by .25) by a combined .55, while maintaining their lead in brass and music analysis. With Debbie Torchia judging color guard tonight (a sure win for BD), Crown's bet bet for winning Visual will be Saturday night with a slate of Michael Turner (visual prof.) Michael Lentz (visual analysis) and Lee Carlson (color guard.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we know what judge(s) to blame if our favorite Corps (s) do not score the way they should have at each show. ( lol!)

Maybe you could send Jeff Prosperie a giant basket of fruit, or a Candygram or something. Because unless he gives your percussion line a generous score - in fact, a very generous score - you have zero chance of winning tomorrow night. Zero. (Of course, a Candygram may not be the best idea; it may turn out like ) Edited August 9, 2013 by oldschooldbc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllmerFUDD Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Let be start by saying I never pull for BD. I dislike their program approach and have for many years. My entire Drum Corps past has been with SCV and I naturally root against the Devils. Tonight’s percussion score will determine if Crown has any chance of being named DCI Champion. If BD maintains the percussion spread over Crown tonight, there is no chance Crown will come out on top tomorrow. If two judges give BD a +1 point spread in percussion on two consecutive nights, the 3rd judge is highly unlikely to see it drastically differently on the 3rd consecutive performance. Yes they could narrow the spread but if you are at all objective the statistics say BD is going to win. Yes there are years in the past when the unexpected happened, it’s just very unlikely. If you are holding out for one of these events (and if SCV was in your position I would be) fine. Just realize it a low probability. Tonight is very important for Crown. If Crown’s percussion can gain maybe .3 tenths tonight and another .3 tomorrow night then you can see a path to victory. If not, its game over. So again this is Crowns most import show of the year and will determine their fate. This is just IMHO. Go Crown and Spoke those stupid poles SCV. Let’s see how many Babies you can get thrown from the Stands!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BD Congratulations on yet another real sleeper of a show. So sad to see how so much talent is misused. Imagine if they used it to Rock the Drum Corps World with a kick A%$ program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW - I see that she whose name will not be spoken is on the Saturday night panel I thought she had put herself out to pasture and then was not welcomed back after her sabbatical? frankiE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
