NeutralNovice Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) For a non-regional, non-TOC, and non-Q/S/Finals show, the DCI West show at Stanford (began in 2007) has hosted EVERY eventual champion since its inception. Are there any other shows out there that can match this? 2007: Blue Devils 2008: Phantom Regiment 2009: Blue Devils 2010: Blue Devils 2011: The Cadets 2012: Blue Devils 2013: Carolina Crown 2014: Blue Devils 2015: Blue Devils Yeah yeah, I know it helps that this is a BD home show but hey, call me out on my shameless attempt to bring more corps to the west coast (namely, Stanford) instead! If history does repeat itself, then if a corps wants a better chance at winning the title, come to Stanford. Pretty please?

Northern Thunder Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 That's an impressive mark. Drum Beauty, in Stillwater, Minnesota hosted the eventual DCI world champ 8 straight years 1975-1982. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moz Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I thought Cadets won DCI West at Stanford in 2007? That was the show a week before finals, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeutralNovice Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 http://www.fromthepressbox.com/2007season.htm You're right, the streak is only 8 years long. I probably should have been more clear. The champion corps, regardless of their placement at Stanford, went on to win DCI in their respective year. I don't believe that any other show that is not a regional, TOC, nor Prelims-Finals show can claim that they have hosted the eventual champion since their show's inception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Clara to Palo Alto is roughly 12 miles where it's 60 miles from Concord to Palo Alto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 True but SC has their own show as well. We do not. (grrrr)! If you ask DCI they tell you this is a regional but when they talk about BD not winning any of the regionals this year they won Stanford which they say is. so is it a regional or not?

DrumManTx Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Paging the Bluecoats. . lol I was about to say the same thing. Last time they went was in 2009...........suppose if they're like everyone else who heads out there every few years, they're about due again.

jmc5682 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Paging the Bluecoats. . I live in the bay area and we would LOVE for the Bluecoats to come out west. We love the Bluecoats and any other corps that takes the time and money to come out here. We are all aware it is not an easy thing to come out west so early in the season, so we will give you all the love we can! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
