Does that mean everyone is just keeping tighter lips than usual, or that corps are hedging their bets with the teams they already have? To me, the big decision that certain corps would make is "should I replace somebody with SCV designer/instructor X?" Assuming SCV folks are indeed going to be free agents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did this several years back with the "Champions" competition. As I recall there were about 7 (?) corps that competed during the tour in 7 special competitions. The performance order was set so each corps would march first, last, and every spot in between over the course of the 7 shows. I seem to recall performance order didn't really matter much, but my mind can be a bit hazy these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care who wins it's about not knowing who is winning going into finals. So after semis you have your bottom 6 and top 6 randomly drawn. You could do it for the whole prelims list and into semifinals. We would never have known that Boston, crown, and Bluecoats were so close until scores were announced.

troopers1 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I don't know if I'm allowed to disclose this or not, but it's too shocking to keep quiet. No one is hiring me to be on their staff. There, I said it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem? My answers don’t match the questions and my solutions do not match the problems.🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
