I am Spartacus!

Mambo!

Edit:

Didn't the BD dance derby show have some call/response as well?

I was trying to recall another instance in the history of drum corps where the audience spontaneously responding to a corps' performance by singing --

Can anyone recall a similar example to what happened Saturday night in in Atlanta?

the only thing that is coming to mind is "Beef" from Cadets 1996 -

I really hope fans in the stands keep up singing Hey Jude!

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

Many of those staffers are volunteers, not paid. 

 

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 :beer:

 

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?

That is the Bluecoats' choice. 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.

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.

Maybe I am not reading this right, but I didn’t see @cfirwin3 ‘s post as a shut down comment.
