Did they win any captions last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drum corp these days are not just about how many notes, how fast the feet marches or how many spins are made. Body content, facial expression, flow and dance are part of the equation. All a part of the evolution of Drum Corps. Details! Who judges facial expression? Aren't the visual judges too far back to see those? I mean, when seen in close up via the camera, a lot of corps members facial expressions tend to look pretty silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know, the "caption awards" weren't handed to them, because it's an average over three nights. But the thrust of the reply is that finals night is what matters because that's where you hand out the medals. On that night, that's how it went down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you elaborate on this argument? And what about, say, 2008, when the eventual champion was in fourth place and 2.6 pts. behind first?

If you ask, "did they win any captions last year" it is not assumed that you only mean finals night, but rather the caption awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
