Musicman1084 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 What's the lowest result in any caption that a champion-winning corps has had? Has a corps ever won a title with a fifth-place caption, or a caption that was 0.75 behind that caption's winner for the night? Crown 6th in drums 2013.

George Dixon Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Over the past decade, 2006-2015, the Reading Buccaneers have won even more DCA championships (8) than the Blue Devils have won DCI championships (6), with the 2015 championships yet to come in DCA. And last year's finish for the Bucs felt rather like this year's finish for BD: they were third in Prelims but picked up 1.5 pts. overnight to finish first in Finals. To the dismay of many in the audience! And there was a penalty involved (but it wasn't the deciding factor). But in the longer term, you are of course correct about BD's incomparable dominance. Bucs have only 13 championships to BD's 17 wins, and Bucs finished out of the top five many times from the late 1980s to the late 1990s. and Bucs would finish 20th or lower in DCI. Is there a point to this? It's really apples and oranges... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 6th in drums and more than a point behind the caption winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxfreq1128 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Where do i go on periscope to see encore? (Why is this app so counterintuitive for finding stuff? first time user, here.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 BD beat Crown by .225 in overall music BD beat Crown by .45 in overall visual OMG CROWN DRUMS SUCK! THEY COST THEM THE CHAMPIONSHIP! To be fair, if they had a drum line to match the rest of the corps, they'd have a 2nd ring. Drums ALMOST cost them 1st place in 2013.

msumello Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I want to congratulate all the corps....but especially the ones not in the top spots....it seems they're passed over every year due to the hype for the top spots....the top spots are good, but I think the lower placing corps need a bit more recognition. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have special reason to remember that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 SCV lost any chance of winning Sanford (Percussion) trophy right within the first ten seconds of their opener here at Finals tonight. A real piano is a percussion instrument, but would it be the percussion judge who rates an electronic piano? Also, can anyone confirm if that opening segment is part of the judged show? There was no high camera, so I couldn't see when the timing judged indicated the start. If it was unjudged preshow, then the percussion judges (or music analysis judge, if that's the right person) wouldn't be allowed to factor in that mistake.

skevinp Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 DCI got my last dime in 2011. Not another penny. You know you can just pay with a credit card... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be correct, but I just find it funny that everyone is so vocal about it when there were other areas where they were obviously behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
