Boston 2013


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to drop in quickly to say my first viewing of the show was last night albeit via a theater. Really really enjoyed the show and fully expect a 7th place finish for you guys! LOVE THAT DRUMLINE also. I would suggest next time using the "official" Goldbond product to avoid any penalties :-)~

Really enjoy the show and the tradition of your corps--all the best.

I thought this was an interesting observation from jwillis35 in another thread, so I've copied his comments here. I also agree completely with his observation.

"Had Boston not been penalized it looks like their score would have put them over BK and just under Cavies and Madison. Honestly, I am surprised that Boston has not passed them yet. I really think the grey hurt them this year (visual GE). I find them more talented, and much better performing in brass and drums than Cavies and Madison. Their late-season push is perhaps coming a bit too late. Who knows, maybe at Finals they will take 7th where I think they belong."

Eat 'em up BOSTON!

Brass score took a significant drop last night which looks like an anomaly. I expect brass to get their score back up where it's been. Hold the gains on the rest of the captions and BAC might just hop over Madison & Cavies tonight.

Great job to night. Boston strong.

Over five days [since 7/23], Boston's score has gone from 81.9 to 85.0 [that's 0.62 per day] ... If they continue to improve as fast as they have since Tuesday, they'll score 93 in Finals and be more than a point ahead of Cavies. Similarly they'd pass up the Scouts.

Over seven days, Boston's score has gone from 81.9 to 86.1 [that's 0.60 per day]. It would be great if they could keep up that rate of improvement.

Over nine days, Boston's score has gone from 81.9 to 87.25. That's 0.59 per day. Still climbing fast, but the rate is slowing a little, trending to a Finals score of 92.6 (but 91.8 if the rate continues to slow consistently).

Over eleven days, Boston's score has gone from 81.9 to 88.5. That's 0.60 per day: they're holding their remarkable pace which would put them at 92.7 in a week. Cavs over the same period have improved an average of 4.55 per day, trending them toward a 91.7. Madison has a rate of 0.26 per day, pointing them to a 89.5. We'll see.

Over thirteen days, Boston's score has gone from 81.9 to 89.0. That's 0.55 per day, a small slip in their rate of improvement. At this rate (noting that Cavaliers improved 0.41 per day and Madison improved 0.30 per day over the same period), Boston could break 90 at Prelims and pass Cavs at Semis, and then get a Finals score of 91.7 vs. Cavs' 91.5 and Scouts' 90.1. Best of luck!

Er, well... even if we set aside tonight's penalty, Boston has stalled: over sixteen days, their score has gone from 81.9 to 88.95. At that rate, with just two days left, they'll score 89.83 in Finals.

Scratch that. They got to 90 tonight, seventeen days after scoring 81.9. That's an average of 0.48 per day, which of course suggests that their Finals score will be 90.48. Can they better that tomorrow?

Did you see them last night what did you think. I guess some one from the west push the issue.

Did not watch anything last night emc2. We arrived back in Utah 90 minutes ago and we left MA Monday AM. Side trip to Yellowstone was worth the extra day.
