They were against a different (much better) set of corps. They are getting better and better regardless of what the score says. I think score ups and downs should be more than norm than it is. Yes but 4 days ago they finished 2.3 behind the Bluecoats. Much wider spread this week in a few days it’s crazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning (failing to remember the names of the corps) said, “I want to watch Mynd again.” She gets it.

Much wider spread this week in a few days it’s crazy That's right, but you have to consider who was at each show and what needs to come between Bluecoats and Regiment. Night 1 it was just Bluecoats in 1st in all captions and Regiment 2nd. Night 2 it was Bluecoats in 1st (overall) and Devils, Boston and Crown between them and Regiment. The gap was narrower Night 1 because all judges had to do was put Bluecoats in first and Regiment in 2nd. Getting the gap right in those captions wasn't really significant. The judges didn't have to worry that they were going to have to, likely, fit corps between Bluecoats and Regiment. The gap was wider Night 2 because, for example, the judges that put Bluecoats 1st and Regiment 5th had to fit Devils, Crown and Boston in between Bluecoats and Regiment, whereas on Night 1 they didn't. Therefore, the spread in almost every caption had to be bigger between Bluecoats and Regiment to have space for the other three to fit in between them. This really applies to any caption Bluecoats beat Regiment, which I think was all. I doesn't mean Regiment didn't have a good show or regressed. It's just what happens. This happened last year with Devils and the other top 4. When one of those four was with just Devils, the gap was much narrower, when all four were together the gap between Devils and the 2nd place corps was wider.

I don't know anything about percussion, so can't comment on that, but I liked Regiment's show much more than Crown's as a whole, but particularly the design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree but Crown is stronger in the music captions and that will keep them ahead of Regiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
