Pete Freedman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 According to Corpsfans.com (the actual source of the Ascend Performing Arts standings frame), Bluecoats are undefeated so far with 7 wins, beating Cadets 5 times and Crown 3 times. Their average lead over Cadets is 2.040 and over Crown is 0.900. Anything can happen, but they are dominating those they go up against currently. I wish we had demand / achievement scores, then we'd get some sense how much room to grow they've given themselves. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Freedman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Re: the earlier conversation about drill, I just looked up the visual judges from last year's finals. They were: Michael Stone and Mickey Kelly on GE, Juno Orefice on Visual Performance, Tim Ochran on Visual Analysis and Marie Czapinski on Color Guard. All seem to have extensive backgrounds in both color guards and 'visual" i.e. drill. (except I couldn't find much specifics on Tim Ochran.) So it does look like they have extensive experience in drill, which leaves open the question why DCI judges allegedly don't consider it much in scoring.

UKSuperman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Any time Bluecoats are mentioned around here I'm not against them winning. I'm against everyone saying they're gonna stomp Crown and the Blue Devil's, when they haven't met with Crown in weeks and haven't yet with the Blue Devil's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'm not against them winning. I'm against everyone saying they're gonna stomp Crown and the Blue Devil's, when they haven't met with Crown in weeks and haven't yet with the Blue Devil's. Why? Let them honk! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'm not against them winning. I'm against everyone saying they're gonna stomp Crown and the Blue Devil's, when they haven't met with Crown in weeks and haven't yet with the Blue Devil's. Again, I haven't seen anyone say they are going to stomp BD and Crown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Freedman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 The general tenor on here is that BD is going to stomp everyone else. That at least has historical precedent, but all three top corps are extremely close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKSuperman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) all three top corps are extremely close.Thank you. This is what I'm trying to get at. Yes, they're close, but no, we don't know who's going to win yet because none of the top 3 have competed against each other. Crown and Bluecoats have, but that seems like weeks ago, so as I stated before, those scores are irrelevant now due to changes and rehearsals. All 3 are winning their respected shows right now. I'm not good with words sometimes. Edited July 6, 2016 by UKSuperman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'm not against them winning. I'm against everyone saying they're gonna stomp Crown and the Blue Devil's, when they haven't met with Crown in weeks and haven't yet with the Blue Devil's. "weeks" -- uh, it hasn't been THAT long. We're only 13 days into the entire season :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
