N.E. Brigand Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 In Corps at the Crest San Diego at Oceanside. I think this is the earliest that's happened for a while. Four of them are making their season debut (Gold, Impulse, Incognito, Watchmen). Three of them so new that DCP has no Topic Tags for them (Golden Empire, Incognito, Watchmen)--maybe it's time to swap out the tags for Forte and Revolution? Golden Empire got off to a strong start last week. Gold has been the third-best California O.C. corps the past two years. How will they stack up? If you're there, let us know how they're doing!

N.E. Brigand Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 The same six tonight, plus the season debut of Raiders and 7th Regiment at Jackson, and of Racine Scouts at Madison. And tomorrow Spartans premier at Lawrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 "but, but ... It's dying, right?" This is the second thread in which you've used those words to mock others' concerns about the overall health of drum corps. I responded with quite a few numbers here--in short, there are 13 fewer DCI corps now than there were ten years ago. Do you call that an improvement?

N.E. Brigand Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 OK, here are the current Open Class standings, based on most recent score: 1. 56.10 - Vanguard Cadets (6/22 Sacramento, CA) [+0.70 6/21] 2. 55.35 - Gold (6/28 Glendora, CA) [+1.95 6/27] 3. 55.30 - 7th Regiment (6/28 Jackson, NJ) 4. 55.05 - Blue Devils B (6/22 Sacramento, CA) [+1.45 6/21] 5. 49.20 - Golden Empire (6/28 Glendora, CA) [+1.20 6/27] 6. 48.80 - Impulse (6/28 Glendora, CA) [+2.40 6/27] 7. 47.40 - Raiders (6/28 Jackson, NJ) 8. 46.25 - Colt Cadets (6/28 Madison, WI) [+7.45 6/21] 9. 42.50 - Watchmen (6/28 Glendora, CA) [-0.55 6/27] 10. 42.40 - City Sound (6/28 Glendora, CA) [+1.40 6/27] 11. 38.45 - Racine Scouts (6/28 Madison, WI) 12. 38.20 - Incognito (6/28 Glendora, CA) [+1.75 6/27] 13. 35.45 - Blue Devils C (6/22 Sacramento, CA) [+0.90 6/21] Blue Saints (first show 7/8) Coastal Surge (first show 7/24) Columbians (first show 7/3) Eruption (first show 7/3) Genesis (first show 7/3) Guardians (first show 7/17) Legends (first show 7/3) Louisiana Stars (first show 7/13) Music City (first show 7/8) North East Technology (first show 8/4?) Patria (first show 8/4?) Spartans (first show 6/29) Stentors (first show 7/19) Naturally, SCVC, BDB, and BDC could all be expected to move up significantly if they were competing this week. Notice how Colt Cadets went up more than seven points in seven days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 I may start a separate thread for these like Spandy does for the DCA corps, but for now I'll just update here, since the three SoCal shows in a row made a good excuse for an O.C. thread. So following Riverside and Lawrence, these are the most recent scores for each corps: 1. 61.90 - Spartans (6/29 Lawrence, MA) 2. 60.80 - 7th Regiment (6/29 Lawrence, MA) [+5.50 6/28] 3. 56.10 - Gold (6/29 Riverside, CA) [+0.75 6/28] 3. 56.10 - Vanguard Cadets (6/22 Sacramento, CA) [+0.70 6/21] 5. 55.05 - Blue Devils B (6/22 Sacramento, CA) [+1.45 6/21] 6. 50.70 - Golden Empire (6/29 Riverside, CA) [+1.50 6/28] 7. 48.85 - Impulse (6/29 Riverside, CA) [+0.05 6/28] 8. 47.40 - Raiders (6/28 Jackson, NJ) 9. 46.25 - Colt Cadets (6/28 Madison, WI) [+7.45 6/21] 10. 43.45 - Watchmen (6/29 Riverside, CA) [+0.95 6/28] 11. 42.55 - City Sound (6/29 Riverside, CA) [+0.15 6/28] 12. 38.90 - Incognito (6/29 Riverside, CA) [+0.70 6/28] 13. 38.45 - Racine Scouts (6/28 Madison, WI) 14. 35.45 - Blue Devils C (6/22 Sacramento, CA) [+0.90 6/21] Blue Saints (first show 7/8) Coastal Surge (first show 7/24) Columbians (first show 7/3) Eruption (first show 7/3) Genesis (first show 7/3) Guardians (first show 7/17) Legends (first show 7/3) Louisiana Stars (first show 7/13) Music City (first show 7/8) North East Technology (first show 8/4?)
