Why in the world are the caption awards an average of the last 3 shows rather than the finals performance? This makes no sense to me whatsoever.  Nothing against bloo, but that's a 3rd or 4th place drum line.

Its called peaking at the right time.   Not so easy to do.

There’s a time and a place to debate everything later.  Attending the show tonight was something special.  I partied afterwards tonight with various individuals with different corps affiliations.  No bickering, no debates, just joy to be celebrating one of the best finals on record.  Sharing war stories, history and many things in common from generations of participation in the activity.  
 

Congratulations to all the corps!

No, Crown remains fourth because three corps scored higher than they did. No bronze is awarded 

What the hell.  Give the bronze to Crown anyway.  They deserved it.

Yep.  Never gonna happen. 

Oh please. BD can do a whole show on hoverboards while playing kazoos and somehow people will still say it’s the “same formula”.  Such a tired argument.

So I guess you are saying that SCV who got 4th in 2001 should have been GIVEN it anyway when BD and Cadets tied for 2nd as well...

Loved all the corps...best 12 to 1 show at Finals I've ever seen. My first Finals was in 1978. 

For us Cavaliers enthusiasts/fans/parents of former and current members...I can't help but think "what if" when it comes to a COVID outbreak, but the more I've pondered over it, if there's a silver lining to having 35 members knocked out over 12 days, it's that the world got to see you fight like warrior poets to get back in the mix. Final thoughts from a Cavaliers parents' blog...

We weren’t on the tour with you
So there’s know way we could know
The day-to-day you’ve just been through
To bring the world this show

From shooters in Chicago
That canceled your parades
To the first case of COVID
And the havoc that it made

To Texas tours and brutal heat
And free days in a bubble
To judge's sheets, aching feet
To rehearsal! On the double!

But there were SOME things that we COULD see
Without being on the tour
A spirit of resilience
Even as your ranks grew fewer

A heart that wouldn’t put it down
Even though it may have crossed your mind
A spirit to improve your sound
And charge back from behind

By Indy you were whole again
The Green Machine returns!
We knew the volume would be “full send”
And the scores would be hard-earned

And in the end, the final run
You delivered your best go
With screaming solos, incredible drill
And drums who stole the show

As your intense faces took the field
It was obvious to see
The brotherhood was finally healed
The show came off with glee!

And when the final note was done
The brass echo in the air
You realize you’d already won
Just by being there

No score, no judge, no screaming fan
Can take from you what’s due
You’re the few, the proud, best in the land
A Cavalier … from ’22

Sure, why not?  These medals don't cost that much and the kids would appreciate it.

Why even have a competition?...Let's all just have a big celebration like last season and give everyone a participation trophy...
