George Dixon Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I don't see this year being one for a "high score" for champion due to captions being too split BD will likely take guard Crown will likely take brass SCV (or Cadets or BD) will likely take drums High GE will go to whoever wins (BD?) but they may only take one other caption and visual So that doesn't equate to an overall high score Last time it happened I believe was Cadets 2005 and they swept all captions - that corps was crazy good on finals night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaxmanSilver Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 BD hit a new high score last night for the Allentown show. The last corps to do that was the 2005 Cadets... BD took all captions, including drums. I realize the likely-hood of that happening Finals Night isn't very high; however, they could very well take all captions except for brass (which would go to the very deserving members and staff at Crown). I won't be heartbroken if Devils don't break 99.15 next Saturday night, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do either; especially if they can get those rotating blocks to look like they did in 1997. Now that would really be something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilme861 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I think it'll happen for sure. They need to keep most of their scores around 19.9 or 19.8 to get that done and it's definitely in their reach. GE will be very close to record scores if not perfect scores in most subcaptions. Visual should be pretty close to that 19.8-20.0 range but Music will be the wild card. Brass will be close as will Analysis but Percussion will be the big decider. Any short coming there though can be countered with the GE scores so we'll just have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defeldus Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 They have guard and GE locked down. IF they can win drums from SCV and brass from Crown, then yes, they will break the record. If not, then it will be right at it, say 99.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUARDLING Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'll say it again,lol records dont always show how good a corps is ( yet BD is ) but how good everyone is behind them. Others draw top #s up perfect scores in a caption also doesnt mean perfect, only best of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland1 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It definitely could happen. BD has won brass against Crown this year, if my memory serves me right. And they have won percussion as well. That being said itll be hard, and many will complain if BD wins brass or percussion, so it goes. It depends on the panel. Clearly itll "perfect" caption scores to get to a new record. VCG likely. With Crown going on before bd, cadets, bloo and maybe scv, it will get tricky. If they give crown a perfect (unlikely) that means they know that no other corps will top them. Likely they will get just under perfect... resulting in a space above crown if a corps earns it. If the judge slots poorly BD might be forced into a perfect just because they wont be scoring below cadets, crown, and bloo. GE scores they are capable of perfects, i dont know accross the board, but ill say half will be perfect. Visually they are always near the top for thr other captions. Music analysis theyve been taking if I recall right. And percussion could be the same problem as brass. On finals judges usually keep it safe, but the top 5 is so tight (now maybe 6) that it could force BD into a lot of 1s. And if so they will be very high.

Kamarag Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Contest dynamics will play a big part, as will the quality of performances of corps in the 1-6 range. The better those corps are, the higher it will drive the top scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
