But IMO (and others if one judges by various podcasts, news stories, etc..) it's a fairly unique situation. Corps admin, senior staff, even fans may take a long view. But MM's -- some at least -- may have a somewhat shorter perspective. That is a good point that I haven't considered! I have no idea what the MMs are thinking about this. Also, I don't know the specific circumstances that caused these moves to unfold, so that why I'm taking a more macro view of the situation. I'm sure you know more about the specifics than I could hope to know. Edited May 14, 2017 by jjeffeory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadet93 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I put BAC in the 5-8 range this year, and think they will beat one of the two out of Cadets and Crown. More likely Cadets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, trying to get me in trouble huh? Just that if BAC did place higher than Cadets he probably wouldn't even acknowledge it, and would instead go on a rant about life lessons for the kids, and instilling work ethic. Its about the experience and journey not the destination. I could go on. Edited May 14, 2017 by cadet93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure: Top 3 guard, Top 4 program coordination and "staging". Top 8 brass and drums. Brass arranging is an outstanding question mark for me.

Tobias Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, corpsband said: As Cadets fans are always quick to point out, perspective is everything. I think I just read over on that thread that finishing out the medals was considered a disappointing season. That was me and it is. Also there was a time that medals weren't given out just placements so winning was winning and everything was not. Since awarding gold/silver/bronze, an "elite group" was created so we talk about top three. If medals were given for top 5, we would see tighter scoring in the top 5. As we see now, the magical scoring gaps open up at finals because we have to make sure the top 3 are in the top 3.
