I’ve seen all the corps and Bloo just does it for me. I understand BD is clean as they always are, but Bloo just has “it” for me. That’s the show I’d rather see encore on Finals night. The most entertaining show does not deserve to win based off that. You actually have to the demand and execution of that demand as well. Bluecoats does not have the overall demand other shows around them have. If you notice the scores the last couple shows, their achievement has been higher than content a lot across the sheet. They need to add more demand and execute it and then they will win. posted from the DrumScorps app 2 6 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 I don't think crowd response is in the sheets. It's something taken into consideration, but isn't a part of the criteria. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't the best corps be the one that plays and marches the best? Now if you said best show, you'd have an argument. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a handicap to be beaten in content, but that doesn't prohibit them from pulling superior achievement scores (they have been doing that on many occasions). It is possible (if not probable) that Bloo will have some perfect achievement scores at finals. These can be cancelled out by perfect content scores from BD, but it would also require them to pull achievement scores higher than the lower content numbers in order to win.

It’s not over till it’s over. In 2013, Crown had the “it” show, placed second to Blue Devils quite a few times, including all three regionals, and prelims. Crown took home the gold. Fast forward to 2015, it looked like it would be Crown’s victory, it wasn't. I’m not ready to predict anything yet. Same holds true with 4-6. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeRapp Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I asked this earlier and no one knew. How, exactly, is a “content” score set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
