They were thin, had intonation issues, and seemed to not be playing up to the difficulty of the book. Everyone who has listened through Flo marching has seemed to think that and yet their brass scores have only been climbing. Every person who has seen them live has indicated they sounded much better than they expected to. Lesson learned?

It shouldn't even be close when it comes to the vis captions. If you count the four minutes they're actually marching as perfect, then yes, those four minutes look spectacular. But the rest of the show, huh? SCV and crown should be beating them, if we're talking about "marching". Unfortunately visual adjudication is just as much about platform climbing, posing in position and a corps ability to be one with their WGI-ness then actual marching.

Do to space limitations around the stadium, DCI made the decision months ago to limit the number of corps and what corps would not participate.

corps8294 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 What do Carolina Crown and the Blue Stars have in common? They are both a couple of extremely talented corps that were given very boring shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadevilina Crown Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) This question popped into my head as I had noticed that last night's BD-SCV gap was the smallest margin of victory in DCI history. I was told from a reliable source that there are 11 other instances where a corps won by a margin of 0.025, which was the smallest possible margin of victory until the 2016 half-points rule change. I'm trying to compile a list of instances where a corps won by 0.025, and right now I only know of the two listed below. Does anyone know of other instances of this exact margin of victory, in either World or Open Class? DCI Finals, August 9, 2008: Phantom Regiment - 98.125, Blue Devils - 98.000 DCI Southeastern Championship, July 25, 2015: Carolina Crown - 91.500, Blue Devils - 91.475 Edited July 30, 2017 by Cadevilina Crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have never had it there then. Might as well held it where DCI South used to be in Birmingham,AL or elsewhere to accommodate all corps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
