Precious Roy Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 How does a corps win all but one viz/music sub-caption, but then get beat in GE? Its like that time in first grade, when I got "A"s in everything...except the teacher gave me a "B" in general effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD is executing at that level and then some, but Bloo has the crowd, the effect 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...GE is more so the story the creative directors write behind the scenes, and how well the members execute it to the audience from my understanding. If you have a good story but don’t out march and play the other corps, you don’t get those points. posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's Maverick (who was NOT the 'Top Gun'... if you recall). Boy that was a corny analogy. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rare but can happen. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rare but can happen. If BD keeps all of the non GE captions above Bloo, then they will most likely have it, mathematically. Bloo should focus on those achievement subcaptions and just try to outplay, outmarch them. It's doable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precious Roy Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I should have noted that the question was rhetorical. But thanks all for the explanations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
