Finals - August 7, 2018


Recommended Posts

Which is to say, I haven't read any of this thread yet.

One thing that surprises me is that Shadow didn't get a penalty for the late start. I noticed the T&P judge gave them a second five-minute countdown before they decided to run the show without electronics. Had their electronics been caught in the rain?

That said, I thought their show was *better* for not having all that bad voiceover.

I'd failed to consider warmups. So yeah, that sounds about right.

I wonder if they'll nix intermission.

I also had been wondering this, but instead, apparently at a directors' meeting during intermission, they decided to nix full retreat.

If there was an "DCI Unplugged" division I would watch only that.

Me too. A&E can be used very effectively, but E especially hurts more shows than it helps.

So, Shadow is run by a high school booster club?

And they have no members over 18, I believe.

Really thought Spartans would take CG...

That's what I expected prior to seeing them perform, because they'd been scoring so well in that caption. But I saw a drop, and besides that, BDB had notably improved in the three days since I saw them at Avon Lake.

Outstanding Director. SCVC (I wonder if the directors meeting was to vote that?)

Pretty sure they make that decision following Prelims.

When did Open Class stop doing full retreat?

This year. Presumably it will return next year, so long as the weather cooperates.

They don't do a full retreat?   Somewhere in my head I thought there was one last year.

There was.

Indeed. I can see this beating Genesis.  The theme communicates so well and they're performing the heck out of it.  Are Spartans aiming to go World Class at some point?  Or is this an 'excellence on the shorter tour" aim?  Both are legit goals for an organization . I just love seeing the development in Open Class every year.

They've been Open (or Div. II or III) since the 1980s, according to DCX.
