Thanks. This is another thread with no date. I really think we should start making it a requirement for show threads for the date to atleast be put in the OP if it’s not in the title along with the info Karuna just posted. Thoughts, @JohnZ?

Then there's some horse out there with no name!

[has anyone fielded that song yet?  it'd be a possible theme for Troopers to work with..heh.  DCX museum is down so I can't check.]

Please!  It's been confusing trying to find/decipher show threads this year.  At least that would help.

I agree and I think I have put dates and venues in show threads I’ve started over the years though with Broken Arrow, I think folks have had July 18th on their mind since the tour was announced. The first meeting of the top 4 of last year which will in all likelihood will be the top 4 this year. I will say, I do like the clever names for the threads that have been used this year.

I’m not advocating for removing the clever show thread titles, I just don’t think there’s harm in adding a little bit of standardization to these show threads to make them more useful for people who don’t live and breathe drum corps every day. 

For example, we could keep the clever show thread titles, but then require the host city (if not already mentioned in the clever show title) to be placed in parentheses followed by the date of the show. And within the content of the OP, it should be required to have the full lineup and schedule of the show (assuming it’s available, I know that is not the case for regionals until a certain date) 

This used to be commonplace, I’m not sure when we strayed from it

My totally accurate score predictions 


BD- 89.3

Bluecoats- 88.1

BAC- 87.6

Crown- 87.4 

Phantom- 85.1

Cadets- 84.2

Blue Stars- 83.7


I think you see a big jump for Phantom and BS in terms of score. 

Phantom went from an 83.250 on 7/14 to an 83.900 on 7/17, a modest increase of .650 in 3 days.  You've got them jumping 1.2 points in a 24 hour period?  I don't see it, but what I do know is that BD is breaking 90 tonight.

It's as if different judges can give different numbers. 

Let us all hope so! While all other comps have seen pretty decent score increases this week, PR, BS and Colts comps have hardly had any movement in scores. It's been befuddling! Are they really not improving while all other corps are increasing almost a point or more each competition?
