eutocoatrompa Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Can you clarify what you mean here? According to the scores posted at DCI, Legends and Genesis were only 0.20 apart, being tied in music, with Legends taking visual and Genesis taking general effect. (The big surprise was that Genesis dropped more than 8 pts. from the previous night.) Sorry, I must've heard the scores wrong (I had it in my mind that Genesis scores 46.

jwillis35 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Is it safe to say crowd enthusiasm has an influence on score after the inflated scores in Muncie? Most would say no, but you could make the argument that poor crowd enthusiasm deflates the corps, especially after say the first tune when the marching members feel no energy for their hard work. From that point on it's possible for the corps' performance to "flatten." So there could be some truth to this. Overall, however, I feel scores were likely more in line with where they should be. Muncie did seem a bit inflated. Honestly, who knows what is realistic, too low, or too high at this point? With so many partial judging panels, mixed with a few full panels, and the variety of different judges seeing your show night to night, a corps will get all kinds of reads. It's got to be tough on corps staff early in the season. They themselves know what they need to fix, change, edit, tweak. But they also get numerous opinions (mostly different) on what they should do, kind of like going to 20 doctors who can't agree on anything.

Tobias Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Looking at the captions being judged, I say Cavaliers gain on Crown. Their, and everyone else's deficiency to Crown was the Music caption, so we'll see how things go tonight for the corps.Cavies almost beat Crown in visual. Take out Guard and Crown visual not stellar. Mute point since guard is and should be counted but some changes to drill for Crown I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaviesFan17 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I love my cavies, but I don't know if they will ever catch Crown. Not this season, I was absolutely blown away by Carolina Crown. I knew after seeing them in theatres they would be my favorite to win but I wasn't aware of how much they have improved since. Absolutely terrific brass. Cavies have a better drumline, but I don't think their brass will ever catch up to crown's IMO but I hope they prove me wrong because I would love to see the Cavies on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps8294 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 All the corps got dumped, last night. Brush it off and move on. There are more shows and plenty more for them all to clean and refine. The season is not done, yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We see them hopefully in contention for 5th and if we're lucky 4th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhumbline Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 The field is colorless, everyone is in black and dark uniforms. The corps are all starting to look the same..There is an identity loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
