GUARDLING Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Scores definitely trending higher this year.

I dont think you can compare, some will say yes some will say no.. IMO all it is is numbers. Is a corps actually a 99.00 EVER?. I say impossible, is a perfect 10 or whatever in a section mean perfect? No, just means the best of. A 94. high for July? sure.

drumcorpsfever Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Guardling, I agree with you. But, overall, it does seem scores have been trending a bit higher this year. It's alll relative I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Blue Devils 94.250 Troopers 80.600 Colts 79.250 Pioneer 67.400 Scores definitely trending higher this year. Consider same show, last year on July 24th: BD 91.35 Troopers 77.95 Colts 77.35 Pio 66.85 Is the production that much better this year, or is greater credit being given? Given that last year's finals scores for those four corps were BD 98.050, Troop 86.050, Colts 82.450, Pio 69.850, it seems clear that this year's finals scores will have to be as follows: Pioneer 70.425 Colts 84.475 Troopers 88.975 Blue Devils 101.150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
