mboogey73 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Blue Devils more times than non here recently. How did I know this was coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamMan Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 No. Corps can finish 6th, 7th in brass or drums and win a DCI Title, but can't do it if the overall GE score is below 3rd.....or their Guard.. in modern times, anyway. The weirdest score was a Corps that won the Percussion caption in the Prelims at DCI Championships one year,. 1st in all 4 percussion subcaptions, & with both DCI Percussion judges too. But their entire Percussion section had to buy a ticket to Finals ( or get a freebie ), as their Corps failed to make Finals Top 12. Thats unreal, imo. ( 1977. It was the Oakland Crusaders, from Canada). That Oakie drum line was one of the cleanest I have ever heard. I believe Tom Float was the head drum instructor.

Ghost Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Also looks like 8 out of 10 female. Area woodwind players maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auldschool Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I think it's safe to say that the corps that wins GE this year will win the BLUE....uh Gold medal That didn't happen last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Guns Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 How did I know this was coming? Me and you both. But i love when BD is winning. Makes DCP more entertaining. When BD is losing like they was the first part of the 2011 season, DCP was boring. But when they started winning in the latter part of the season, all whining and complaining came back. That's the DCP i know and love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedJazz1900 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 DCI judge logic. If the crowd goes nuts about a corps, put them in second. People lose their #### all the time about things that aren't the best. Jurassic World was a fantastic movie, but definitely wasn't Best Picture caliber.

shofmon88 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The risk then would be that someone performs a really dull show brilliantly and wins. To me, that's exactly what BD is doing already. I will never doubt their performance abilities, but I can't stand their show designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 lemme know when a full recap is available...very close show at the top...surprised Crown is that far back. the top 3 all have the goods. SCV felt flat to me, and Cadets show is missing something...not sure what. Seriously enjoyed Cavies on high cam, Phantom and Blue Stars both solid shows, it's a good year for DCI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
