You cannot compare scores from different nights. It doesn't matter if the judging panel is the same. Everything else is different. They are comparing different corps, which leads them to their numbers. They cannot compare BD last night to Crown tonight. It's entirely impossible. There has never been any type of doctrine set at Allentown. Ridiculous. I’m not trying to argue, but as far as I know it always been the case that Allentown judges are supposed to treat it like one competition. So it’s not arbitrary: it’s something understood by the judges up front, and night 2 scores are given with a direct awareness of and accounting for night 1 scores. Quarterfinals order is determined by averaging regional scores — and Allentown is one of those comps, because it is treated like a single regional competition, in line with the other one-night competitions factoring into the average. It’s treated like a single night. Edited August 7, 2022 by saxfreq1128 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious, strong designs and strong performances. Alsooooooooo…….. PR is gonna jump up by at least 1. Just a feeling I have.

Obviously they weren’t the first to do those things, but I remember them causing a lot of angst among fans at the time. And a lot of people were super weirded out by Einstein on the Beach, which isn’t new but it was new to drum corps. I thought it was brilliant at the time and I think if they did that show this year, people would be wowed by it. I think Crown's Einstein hornline was the best hornline i've ever heard. Still is. Ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27Socal Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Feel bad for Academy. At the start of the season, I thought they had a legit shot at finals. Now they are 6 points out. Covid really did a job on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxfreq1128 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 In most recent years on finals night it seems like 8ish corps break 90. This year: a week out, we already have 7 breaking 90, and the 8th place Cavaliers are only .3 away from 90. Hard to imagine PR and Mandies not breaking 90 by finals — they’re so close, and they have the shows and the skill to get them there. We’re going to have 10 corps break 90 this year. Wow. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftwdrummer Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) I threw together the two recaps into a spreadsheet because I'm a dork who misses fantasy drum corps. On the one hand...BD is only first in four of the eight captions. On the other hand...those four captions add up to 60% of the score. So. If the caption awards go exactly the way they did tonight/last night, BD wins GE and the Ott, Crown wins the Brazale, BAC wins the Zingali, and SCV takes home their...fifth? Sanford in a row.
