It always makes me lose faith in the judging. Perhaps that’s some of what’s happening, but it’s kind of expected at this point. It’s a subjective judging system and this is the first time all of the top corps have met the same panel. This is exactly where you’d expect each judge to go through and finally decide who they think is really best in their caption. And they should space them out a bit unless they really think two corps are virtually even. This result looks to me like what I would expect. Congrats Bluecoats. Love your show. But I also kinda want one of our Bay Area corps to give you at least a good run for your money now 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect some back and forth from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStainGlass Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I said this when people were saying BAC to medal and possibly win but tonight's scores confirmed it. The captions that came from Cadets and Crown are still performing at the level they were at. Mcnutt and Gino are amazing but still putting out a 5th placeish line and Crown guard that came over still killing it. Crown/BAC will be interesting to watch. And cadets perc still putting solid numbers to push that music score up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRapp Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Is it me or is Cavaliers being really underscored? I don’t think their show should be this far out from potentially medaling. What am I missing? 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seemed behind the pack design-wise, especially visually. But I enjoyed it a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmiggles Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 With the recaps, if you take the rep/cont scores and match it to perf/achv (8.9 to 8.9 or 9.1 to 9.1, etc) it would look like this BD // GE total: 36.00 // Visual total: 27.00 // Music total: 26.75 // TOTAL: 89.75 BC // GE total: 36.00 // Visual total: 26.6 // Music total: 26.95 // TOTAL: 89.55 I know, I have too much time 🙂 but I found it interesting!! 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I'm not loving this BD show either. As much as I despise how the Bluecoats over-amplify their horns and drums and pump up the bass and goo, I want this Coats show to win. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeRapp Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 One thing BD has done well in the previous three years is produce shows that read close up and in the stands. This is where Bluecoats are utterly demolishing DCI, and this year BD has fallen behind. It just doesn’t work as a show. I love the brass arrangements but overall it’s not compelling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27Socal Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Ok, as of tonight, the push is officially in. It will be highly unlikely that Bluecoats lose finals. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
