But again captions are average of all nights for those awards. And yes I do believe Coats didn’t win any average captions but did score and win when it counted. And not only that it’s very possible that a corp be 2nd and maybe 3rd in captions and sub captions and still win the whole damm thing. It’s about numbers and that’s it. If memory serves bluecoats won GE only and of course won the championships in 2016 crown won brass visual and colorguard SCV won perc I remember being disappointed because BD didn’t win any captions and still placed a head of crown. was hoping crown would finish second that night Edited August 4, 2019 by Triple Forte 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I’d utilize any handicapping you might offer for finals week, when I call my bookie Wednesday night.

And yes BD didn’t win a caption award but overall scoring was good enough to be 2nd. That proves my point that a DCI Champion can not win a caption but overall point totals make them the winner.

MikeRapp Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Heck Cadets is good enough to win percussion and finish no higher than 8th. Has any corps finished that low while winning a caption? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember the year but it was 75 or 76?. And the caption head for them was the famous Tom Float. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCIdad Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Mandarins 7th in brass after finishing 14th in Atlanta. Percussion is killing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
