I still think I'm right, but I know I'm outvoted. I agree with you, but for a different reason. I think for the lower WC corps especially, that extra performance date would make a lot of positive difference, both in the corps wallet and to the member experience.

You may certainly contend that the optimal number might be different today (in either direction), but "the reason" still exists. Hah - at this point, it should be a 2-corps Finals most years then. Can't even remember the last time someone jumped from 3 to 1 on the final night. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe several decades ago ? Not in modern times as far as I know anyway. With that in mind, if one Corps that did not make it last season makes it this season, only one Corps will be the one from last season that finds itself out of TOP 12 Finals. 1973 PR 14th, CAV 15th, BD 24th 1974 PR 11th, CAV 8th, BD 9th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
