Galen Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 If you're a college basketball fan, this is definitely your favorite time of the year. But I figured, why not adapt this fun for drum corps so we can have some fun with our own drum corps tourney! So I've created my very own "Drum Corps March Madness", to answer the question "What is truly the best drum corps show of all time?" Full information and voting is right here: http://marchingarenas.blogspot.com/2014/03/drum-corps-bracket-tournament_17.html And while you're at it, check out the inspiration for this at Tone Deaf Comics: http://www.tonedeafcomics.com/2014/03/orchestral-march-madness-voting-starts-now/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlejaw Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Some of the rankings in here are fairly suspect...2002 Cavaliers is a 2 seed? 2005 Cadets is a 5 seed, really? No 92 Blue Devils? Troopers 2013 is really in consideration for top 64 shows of all time? Just a few examples but this bracket seems very off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Just like the NCAA selection committee, there's bound to be a little controversy Also, as I explain in the blog post, I wanted to get the best representation of the currently active World Class corps as I could, so there's bound to be some omissions. This could have very easily been an all-G7 bracket because there ARE lots of good shows, but I was going for more balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrow Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Bluecoats 2011 is in both Regions 1 and 3. Not sure if it's a mistake or not. Same with Blue Knights 1994 in Regions 2 and 4 on the poll. Edited March 18, 2014 by Narrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlamMan Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 So you didn't include 1976 Blue Devils...but good thing the 1992 Velvet Knights & 2013 Troopers are included! Good Lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Like I said in the post, so many good shows to choose from, plus I was trying to go for more contemporary shows. Maybe next time somebody can do a "glory years" bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
