luv4corps Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Next Saturday can't get here fast enough!!!! I will be at the Georgia Dome, Section 222 with the Carolina Crown Block!!! So very excited.. Not cherry-picking my shows and will the enjoy all of the hard work and great shows that all of this year's corps have put on the field!! What a refreshing comment - focusing on the HARD WORK that EVERY KID out there puts in from the elites down to the feeder corps. It's all good, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledDawg69 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Excited for this show - sitting in the 200 deck with a friend that hasn't seen any of the shows this year. Will be interesting to get his initial reactions to the programs. Good luck to all performers and safe travel to all those attending! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) winners of the draw/placement appear to be: Troopers, Academy, Blue Stars, Vanguard, Bluecoats 2 exercises for the " non believers " in the utter unimportance of the regional draws in the final scheme of things : A) list for us, without looking it up, the Finals placements for last season and then......., B) list for us, without looking it up, what the regional appearance draw was for this Atlanta Regionals last July. Once you've completed these 2 exercises, do 2 things.... 1) look up the Atlanta regionals draw for last season, and tell us how many you got right, and then 2) tell us what relationship that Atlanta Regionals draw had on the judges decision the following month at Championships. Once DCP'ers have completed their " homework assignment", they should come to the logical conclusion that come Championships, in the grand scheme of scores and placements, the regional draw is both forgettable, as well as irrelevant. Good luck with the homework assignment., DCP'ers... and remember, no cheating. Edited July 24, 2016 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI All, So quick quick question, BD finished 3rd at the San Anton show, how come they are performing 2nd from last in Atlanta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Guns Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 HI All, So quick quick question, BD finished 3rd at the San Anton show, how come they are performing 2nd from last in Atlanta? I think the corps are grouped in three's. So BD/Coats/Crown in a group then it's a random draw. Coats won the draw getting to perform last. But i could be wrong.

2gatorsons1bacson Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Won't be attending ATL for the first time in about 8 years. Biggest complaint about ATL is the noise level at level 2. When in the seats during performances, people need to be quiet. This really ruins the experience for me, especially during the ballads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
