Triple Forte Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 19 hours ago, jwillis35 said: There is already a nice thread about your most favorite show, so I thought it would be nice to get some thoughts on the most technically excellent show. What I am looking for here are not your favorites shows, or your favorite corps playing your favorite music. I'd like you to think about the most technically excellent drum corps you have ever seen, preferably live in person. This could be a corps whose show was not so entertaining (or maybe it was) and where demand was very high and the performance of brass, percussion, guard, and marching excellence were simply masterful. This may also include a corps that stages well or uses props well. But mainly we are looking for technical excellence of the marching member, not whether the staff gave the corps a great general effect product or whether fans liked the show.

This is probably the biggest shaft I've seen. The best corps, with the best show got hosed finals night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD won fair and square. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there at finals and at semi finals and at prelims and several shows beforehand and even at rehearsals in Dayton days before finals week. Crown had a bad run at finals. Sorry ... it wasn't nearly as good as semis or prelims. I wanted Crown to win but when they were done on Saturday night, I knew they were done. They weren't hosed by the judges. They hosed themselves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it more as Crown had a brilliant run at the 2015 Semifinals, of the kind rarely seen by any corps, and slipped merely to sheer excellence at Finals, i.e., where they had been relative to BD at Prelims two days earlier, just over a half-point ahead of the Devils (before accounting for the penalty). But then I hold lots of heretical views. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
