Crown won Brass. Cavaliers won Percussion. Bluecoats and Boston won no captions. Winning 4 out of 6 captions is significantly better, especially considering of your three closest competitiors only one won one caption.

Visual and GE have execution components. You aren't going to win visual if you can't execute and you aren't going to be effective if you can't execute. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than one way to answer that, but here’s one: BD consistently marches one of the oldest, most experienced and certainly most accomplished corps in DCI. Every single year. On Day 1 they are so far ahead of 90% of the rest of Dci that they can be cleaning their show from week three on. The tiny tiny details, at scale, just match up show after show. Because of how dci scores shows and seasons, their head start means they set the bar. And that is almost impossible to beat. The shows that beat them ran the table end to end. It’s just the nature of the activity. BD is clean from day 1. By the time you get to finals they are sleeping in hotels and haven’t played a show in a week. It is a formula that works over and over again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See BD at the first show and you know immediately where you stand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama is filled with 5 star recruits who are essentially NFL players on a college campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the first shows of the rest of the top 4 and they were clean. They were well designed. These corps have performers on the same level as BD. I would bet money that they have a similar average age and average marching experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
