Back in the 80's and 90's (and maybe much earlier but that was before my time) when Boston would play Conquest, especially at shows in Mass, the crowd would have a shout response dut dut "Huh" dut "Huh" dut dut dut Edited July 30, 2019 by Super Don-O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number of shows per corps not including prelims-finals this season Blue Devils: 24 Bluecoats: 28 SCV: 24 Carolina Crown: 24 BAC: 24 Cavies: 26 Blue Stars: 28 Blue Knights: 22 Cadets: 33 Mandarins: 24 Phantom Regiment: 27 Crossmen: 23 Mean: 25.5 shows Median: 24 shows Mode: 24 shows Highest: Cadets at 33 Lowest: Blue Knights at 22 I'll let that marinate for a bit Take into account the whole Bluecoats Band of Excellence and HOF game stuff. Not exactly a show but a nice time commitment towards the end of the season. Great visibility for drum corps as well. Also I think those touring out West should get a small break in the avg for travel (maybe a show or two). How many shows does each of these corps have left?

My overall point is that BD schedules shows very much in line with the rest of the top 12, this so called ability to "take the week off before finals" isn't unique to them and having seen Bloo's 990s, I'm sure they could do the same if they chose.

cfirwin3 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I'm telling you all. All of this quibbling about staff, off time, shows etc. doesn't matter at this point. The margins are extremely close and they are arriving at their competitive ceiling given the strength of the field. I wouldn't expect anyone to suddenly rack up a margin that they otherwise could not arrive at through the season. Chillax... Enjoy the shows. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
