That wouldn't be undefeated then...it would be "undefeated since Clovis"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to forget that these top corps are so good now that a finish in 6th seems like a disappointing season but in this year, 6th place would have been a medalist just 5 years ago if not less. Just another example with Madison being down as low as they are in the placements. Granted their show isn't the best show they've had in recent years but they are still a great group that would probably be around that 12th place spot in the past but have dropped down. The big names in DCI have to move down if other corps are ever going to challenge for their spots. True, but even back in the day (70s, 80s) placing 6th at Finals was seen as a real honor. Heck, just making top 12 is a huge honor. Any year. These are the finest drum corps in the world. We place a lot of emphasis on who is going to win, but to truly enjoy all that drum corps has to offer I think you have to take in and cheer on all the groups. It also helps to fully understand the judging system and small differences in show design or performance that might keep a corps from moving up 1, 2, 3, or 4 spots. Take the corps in the 7, 8, 9, and 10 positions. Only 2+ points separate them. As amazing as SCV is this year -- and I think they have all the ingredients to win -- the top 4 corps are separated by 2+ points with 3 weeks left. A lot can happen. The corps in the 13 to 17 range are just incredible and their battle to inch-up toward top 12 status is fun to watch, as is their quality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is to leave it all on the field Friday. Completely agree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe their show is soooooo good, there will be a Mandela effect and they actually won in Clovis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they lost the first show in Clovis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are ALWAYS at the end of the WC scoring and will place lower during finals week to half of OC corps. But they still choose to remain in World. And for a reason...$$$$.
