CallipygianKing Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Too bad A class finals is limited to only 3 corps. I think that's an unfair bias against smaller corps on the part of DCA> Actually, I think it's fantastic that they've created Class A for us small guys, and it has grown over the years. Originally, only 2 went on to finals. And the purpose is to encourage small corps to come in and grow (in size or quality) into corps that will eventually be aiming for those ten Open Class spots. So, in a way, being a Class A Finalist is more-or-less intended to be a stepping stone to a long-term goal of fielding a corps in the Open finals.

mcg155 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I just got the Director's copy of the corps picture that was taken right after our 2006 dca prelim show. ha ha ha ha .... We just put on one of our best shows of the year in spite of the weather and we were all smiling. Not like last years photo. What a year can do sometimes. Anyways....... The flags in the background are straight out with no bends etc. You can see the rain hitting the ground in front of us and splashing up 4-6 inches and it looks like we're in the middle of a meteor shower. lol.. Our pants were soaked and they looked real heavy. I can still remember that feeling. Someone showed me a dopler printout just before we hit the photo shot. It was pretty impressive if you like stuff like that. We were right in the center of the storm.. I'll never forget that show. Unbelievable! The point is this, its amazing what a group of people can do in such conditions and still come out smiling and joking around and having a ball. Wait, this is DRUM CORPS.. Thats why!!!

Fran Haring Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I don't have a rule book, and haven't looked at the section regarding this...but does this also apply to the top 10 ? Top 10 (Open Class) caption awards are based on Finals scores. Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
