I don't understand why a city the size of Atlanta can't field a more competitive corps

AtlantaCV has done well in DCA the past few years. But Alliance took this year off.

Becoming more competitive often has little to do with having talent in your local area. 

So much that has to happen and go right behind the scenes for things to move upward.

I'm liking some of the bottom 15 shows more than top 10. 

True every year for some fans and some shows.

Exactly what corps is this statement referring to?

I'll admit I'm new to following DCI this year, but I don't get at all how Spartans is in semis ahead of Cascades or Jersey Surf. To me they are nowhere near the same level. Their show, while enjoyable, was on the level of many high school bands here in TX.

The very best high school bands, if not penalized for having woodwinds and if their shows were long enough (high school band minimum required time is typically just 7 minutes, I think), would score in the very low 70s in DCI, in my opinion. Also, different circuits value different things more. BOA, for instance, has no separate caption for percussion.

I like the Mandarins show more, but I think Madison is much cleaner.
