g0at Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Anyone have rehearsal times/location for today in San Antonio? For anyone, really? It's gonna be hot AF and I am debating whether I am going to make the trip to watch someone do a run through in the heat ... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadets are at Alamo Stadium (this is not the same as the Alamo dome) and have ensemble from about 230-4 local time, prior to that visual and sectional rehearsals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 99 is a stretch for anyone and I believe the judges learned a numbers management lesson in 2014. I strongly disagree with that statement. SCV yes - BD seriously doubt it.

g0at Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) I'm creating this document. I'll update as new info comes in (Rehearsal times, etc) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-8J6WJjcdUsyqMRnWxiTs6DcT7C6SQlaSpyctb3K43Q/edit?usp=sharing Edited July 21, 2018 by g0at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bluecoats get 4th or lower in percussion and guard during the final week, that will take them out of contention for top 2 right there. I doubt both BD and SCV will finish lower than 3rd in a single subcaption come championships. I think 99 is a stretch for anyone and I believe the judges learned a numbers management lesson in 2014. I agree. In 2014, if memory serves me correctly, it seemed as if most people agreed with the placements, though not with the scores, whether we are talking of over-scoring or under-scoring. While this is not uncommon, the changes in scoring that seem seemed to yield interesting scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluzes Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Lets give FLO three cheers for a wonderful stream today. Thank them for braving the heat the other night being out there for all the corps. Understand they have the most difficult task in all of sports. No predictable plays to first base, no clues that it's a pass play and no ball to follow. Then task them with varying venues with little time for pre-production runs. I miss out on a lot sitting on the 50 live with everything going on at once, very difficult fitting this onto our big screens. Thank You FLO Edited July 21, 2018 by Bluzes typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything is possible despite some missed targets in sub-captions. In 2013, the overall consensus was it was Crown’s title to win, and they had an iconic show where everything came together so well. Their 6th place in percussion was made up for in other captions. Fast forward to 2015 where after a victory at prelims and a semi’s victory, it looked as if there would be a finals victory too, but with a show that wasn’t their best, the 5th in percussion hurt a great deal. While I do believe Bloo could win a title, neither SCV or BD are giving anything away, so they need to keep this in mind as far as percussion is concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You FLO Yes -- FLO has a tough and unenviable task each season and I, too, thank them for providing this service. But -- If I was a FLO Director at any of these shows, I'd spend every waking moment trying to "get inside" each of the shows so I'd know what shots I wanted to get and there'd be little risk of surprises. Think of it as having the box score and stats even before the game starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
