Jacob Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 There's been a big deal made about the 99.65 record by the Blue Devils and also the highest score and finish for the Bluecoats. There are also some that I think are notable as well. 1) This makes the 7th award in a row that the Blue Devils have won for Color Guard (not sure if that's an all-time streak, but that's incredibly impressive) 2) We have had 5 different winners of the Fred Sanford Best Percussion Award in a row - consistency of variety!!! (2010 - Phantom Regiment)(2011 - Cavaliers) (2012 - Blue Devils)(2013 - Cadets) (2014 - SCV) I love the variety that is represented by the percussion award and I hope that it can continue. Perhaps it can be 6 in a row next year with the Bluecoats???? That'd be pretty cool! Enjoy - and congratulations to all the corps! What an amazing season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly enough, two of those percussion awards were by the same percussion caption head. Had he not left one corps to start a career at another, it may have been less consistent. Not saying what you are saying is wrong, just noting an interesting tidbit. Also, BD's guard getting 7 in a row is pretty incredible. I think it will take someone from their organization branching and doing something on their own for another corps to topple them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonR Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Crown had the highest 5th place score in DCI history with 95.675, beating out Santa Clara's 95.65 in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Crown had the highest 5th place score in DCI history with 95.675, beating out Santa Clara's 95.65 in 2009. I believe Crossmen had the highest 12th place score ever as well. Interestingly, 1988 Suncoast Sound still holds the record for highest 10th place score, even 25 years later.

Yorkvillain Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Great thread. Thanks for posting. Can anyone think of any other records/ interesting stats? Is Blue Devils B in 15th the highest ever for a feeder corps? Any predictions when they will make finals? I'll throw out 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesmr Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 How many caption heads (besides Rennick) have won the Sanford with two different corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarOrg Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Interestingly, 1989 Suncoast Sound still holds the record for highest 10th place score, even 25 years later. Did you mean 1988? I believe your right though. 89.1 for 10th place in '88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Did you mean 1988? I believe your right though. 89.1 for 10th place in '88. Yea, I mis-typed. I fixed the original post, thanks for the catch, Edited August 10, 2014 by Kamarag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
