I need to look that up. Well...they beat Boston by .30, they beat Crown by .37 and beat Bloo by .525 IF MY MATH is correct that = oh never mind 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to track down videos from most of the finalists, though, and was watching them this afternoon before the show started. 2018 was a freaking amazing season and I really regret that I missed it. So many corps doing really unique shows that parted from their usual style. Babylon, of course, was incredible. But so many of the other finalist shows were also amazing. I particularly loved BK's arrangement of Rite of Spring. Haven't been able to find a good video of that one though, just a rehearsal video. I'm tempted to buy the Blu-ray, but am worried that a lot of it will be silent. Has anyone bought it and able to comment on quality? Its a shame that, after all these years, DCI still hasn't found a way to get the archive back up. Seems like they've given up on ever making it available again. And with the death of the Blu-ray's, it seems like a lot of those amazing past shows are just going to be lost to history. There's got to be a better solution. GET THE BLU-RAY!!! There are some edits, but totally worth it. Babylon on its own is worth the price of the disc - the finest DCI work Tom Blair and crew have ever done IMO. The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio is jaw-dropping! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the week leading to Atown corps had similar rehearsal time. No one had an advantage other than Boston having taken 3 days for a camp. Bloo, by this extra day logic, actually had less time than other corps. I get your point. Still don't think it's useful to compare the two nights, but it doesn't really matter all that much in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den8uml Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Did anyone double check the math deciding order for prelims? One person posted then it was challenged. (I don’t volunteer! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. Most of them were probably rehearsing like all the other Saturday night corps that didn't play at Lawrence. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't BAC beat them in 3 of the 4 shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
