At the risk of pissing off some old-timers here, just remember that as we get closer to a 100 score, the margins between placements will shrink. It is the nature of the scoring system. You have to look at the gaps relative to what is remaining. In this respect, a one point gap between two groups scoring in the high 80s has approx twice the weight has a one point gap between groups the scoring in the low 70s.

Go Blooooooooooo!!!

"Saro" by the Westerlies is a gem for the Bluecoats this year.

And made even better by layering the vocals of "God Bless the Child" on top of it...genius!

[tedrick]

so what is the closer? the trombone tune?

"Home" from Congo Square by Wynton Marsalis.

 

[oldbandguy]

The closer consists of "Home" and then into "God Bless the Child" Blood, Sweat & Tears style...

could someone expand on the meaning of the singer getting moved around on her chair - it's as if she is being unwillingly moved here and there - or....?

The music is taking her places she can feel. It’s sort of the spirit of jazz, it has a transcendent quality for the performers and listeners alike.

  For your thesis to work well , would Corps that have a scoring spread in the 70's, have 4 times the weight of groups with a one point gap with groups scoring in the 50's ?  I'm interested in your math analysis with this. What statistical formula are you utilizing to support this math assessment of the relative value of the numbers at different scoring levels ?
