To me that 3 point gap is pretty nuts but what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadevilina Crown Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 If I'm correct, the Open Class Finalists should be as follows, in order from highest to lowest score: Vanguard Cadets Blue Devils B Legends Music City Spartans Louisiana Stars The Company (International Class, so 13 corps in Finals) Gold 7th Regiment Guardians Southwind River City Rhythm Raiders Feel free to call me out if any of these are in fact incorrect.

They were so awesome that this armchair adjudicator gave them first place hands down. I have some disagreement with the judges on a few other slots, but not 1st - SCVC deserved it tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRacer Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Just got a text from my kid: "Hi Dad! Glad you saw us; we felt pretty good about that one!" Typically humble. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRacer Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 This is the same kid who didn't tell any of his band or school chums he was doing the Rose Parade this year with SCV...he just fell off everyone's radar, went to RP camp, did the gig, then went back to school after the holidays...his schoolmates only learned about it when one blurted out "Dude, I saw you on TV!" Totally embarrassed him! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOS3 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Just to clear up some confusion about Gold from an insider perspective. White Drillmasters painted brown: We could have just bought brown drillmasters, but there was apparently one kid in front ensemble with a size 14 shoe (apparently they don't have brown in that size) which "prevented" us from getting them already brown. Why didn't they just get different shoes/color for front ensemble? Why didn't they just have him wear size 13's? Why why why? I don't know. Could have been planned much better. Plain old brown shirt and brown overalls: The original idea was to have just that plain uniform and then when we left on tour, then add leaves and whatnot when we left for tour; like we had had started to GROW ;) They kept having dates planned to do these alterations, but time and time again would put them off to a later date, to where eventually we had to leave for tour and never got to complete the idea. Definitely could have been planned better. As for the show theme. The way it's been explained to me is that it's more conceptual than a storytelling. So think of Bluecoats 2014. An idea as the show title, and then just doing whatever fits within that concept throughout the show. So there's a lot of "growth" in the show both visually and musically. And then of course there's the uniforms and props with trees and plants; kind of arbitrary to what the show is actually about. Hope that makes our show a bit more understandable. :) posted from the DrumScorps app 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes in the past, the international corps has gone on in its scoring position, but more recently they've put such corps first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
