craiga Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 4 hours ago, Vuitton said: Yes. You cannot compare scores from two different shows. If Boston and Crown top BD’s score tomorrow night, it does not mean they are ahead of them. Bluecoats may have closed the gap, which is exciting, but BD still beat them in GE, Visual, Music, Brass, Percussion and Guard. That doesn’t bode well for Bluecoats. I think what we are seeing here is Bluecoats solidifying that #2 spot. Actually, Allentown is the one, the only show each year where you CAN compare the scores from the two nights, since there are identical judging panels in identical captions both nights. DCI does this by design, to help determine the order in Indianapolis. As for Bluecoats "solidifying that #2 spot", you may have overlooked the fact that just the night before, Boston was ALSO half a point ahead of Bloo. At present, the math would seem to indicate this is a horse race. And, for a few people here on dcp (not you, CHIEF GUNS) who spent this entire summer arrogantly declaring that nobody would get within 2 or 3 points of BD, you may have been a bit out over your skis. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First ever three peat in 2023? With no reason to doubt 2024 will be a four peat season. Yeah, I can agree with that. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of how DCI scores, and the number of shows on the tour, it is almost impossible for the top corps to win by that margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BD doesn’t win I’ll eat my hat. And I don’t even own a hat. I’d have to go out and buy one, then eat it. That’s how confident I am. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or get one of those nifty Jersey Surf beach bucket hats an have some of your favorite foods in it along with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is BD still undefeated? No. They lost the competition. I know people hate it when you compare dci to marching band but if I win my class at Youth In Music but don’t win overall, I won my class but I did not win YIM Edited August 5, 2023 by RiverCityAndTroopersFan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes no sense to me, because one set of corps has an additional day to practice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
