NeutralNovice Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 In DCI History, what were the perfect caption scores? Do you agree with it? The only perfect score I've heard of was the Blue Devils' brass (I think) in their 2004 show. I can neither agree nor disagree with it because I wasn't at the show (live), and I don't necessarily know what to look for in scoring/judging a show. Thanks!

BaritoneBamBam Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) 1985 Garfield Cadets - Perfect Score in Percussion Effect and Visual Ensemble 1986 Blue Devils - Perfect Score in Ensemble Music 1987 Garfield Cadets - Perfect score in Percussion Effect, Field and Ensemble Performance Percussion. 1997 Blue Devils - Perfect Visual Performance Score in Semifinals. 1998 The Cadets - Perfect Visual Performance Score 2002 The Cavaliers - in Visual Effect, Guard and Music Ensemble 2004 Blue Devils - Brass Performance in Quarterfinals Only the ones I know off the top of my head. I don't agree with perfect scores, but they don't mean a bit that they were perfect. Perfect scores are due to bad number management, the judge started too high, thus was forced to give a perfect score, even though there weren't enough space to give higher than a perfect score. I disagree with 2002 Cavaliers' guard scores the most, since there were about 5 drops during their finals performance. Though I disagree with perfect scores, I would like to give mention to 1998 Cadets for their visual performance, not perfect, but certainly in my opinion the best marching performance that DCI has ever seen. Aggressive yet relaxed, confident and really bold for having stripes down their bright pants.

Minimaster Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 5 drops? The only one I could ever find was the the dropped flag exchange in the ballad that you can only see on the high cam video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssorrell Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 1986 Blue Devils - Perfect Score in Ensemble Music There was not an "Ensemble Music" caption in 86...and BD had no "perfect" scores in that year. 1987 Garfield Cadets - Perfect score in Percussion Effect, Field and Ensemble Performance Percussion.True..a 10 in GE Perc...and a 20 in Perc Performance, or "Field Percussion". But, that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake_the_hydra Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 This has been discussed a lot, but essentially, thinking of a 20 as a "perfect" score is misleading. It's a maximum score, which is very different. No one's saying anything about perfection, since that's impossible. What a judge says with a 20 (other than poor number management, this DOES happen) is that as far as this particular judge is concerned, this section of the corps performed at essentially the highest level the judge could expect virtually anyone to perform at. Mistakes are considered, but then again, so is recovery, demand, achievement, etc . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john2780 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) Santa Clara scored a perfect 30 in GE in 1975, when GE brass, GE Drums, and GE Marching were each based on a 10 point system Edited January 8, 2007 by john2780 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD_Fan Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I disagree with 2002 Cavaliers' guard scores the most, since there were about 5 drops during their finals performance. A few drops do not make or break a colorguard. What's more important than the drop is the recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
