triplefunk Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 ...Yeah, nobody respects the phantom regiment ya, to the point where they will be one of the last voted off the island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nineiron Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Because there are not 30 Div. 1 corps competing at prelims anymore,DCI should limit the Saturday night finals to the top 8 or 9. Then Finals would carry more weight than it does now. It's like hockey and basketball playoffs. More corps make finals than don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Finals would carry more weight than it does now. It's like hockey and basketball playoffs. More corps make finals than don't. That would make it for a short and boring night. if you ask me. I like having 12 shows. been that way for a long time, and I hope it doesn't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzEuph Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 What if they held a Div I,II,III quarters and semis and then for Finals it is the top 12 out of all Divisions? That way it adds more corps to the Finals competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_King Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 During the summer someone had a topic about the elite. It doesn't matter were some corps ended up they were still elite. To me the corps who have won a championship are in the elite group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroWnSoPrAnO Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 If you really think about it, with the number of DIV 1 drumcorps in the contry, top 12 are elite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake_the_hydra Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 If you really think about it, with the number of DIV 1 drumcorps in the contry, top 12 are elite! Disagreed . . . Not to sound like a jerk, but there's definitely a few notches between number 12 and number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhorse Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I mean... I've always considered them part of "the elite." The elite to me consists of Cavies, Cadets, BD, SCV and Phantom. The real question is how long do Bluecoats have to stay up there to be a part of that group? Do they need to win a title? I'll agree but add I've always consider Phantom Regimnet to be an elite unit but I'm really think when will we consider Bluecoats and Carolina Crown both very outstanding drum corps bluecoats with their overall program and crown being only 18 years old yet consistent with programing also?

jjeffeory Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Bluecoats were 13th in 99, so they've been going up since then. They also haven't come close to winning. OT, BUT... Bluecoats have been top twelve since 1987 except for 1 year, which was 1999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Star was headed by a huge corporate business, plus the members were made up of folded corps like Suncoast Sound..Plus to be innovative today, is .........yeah... The only real thing you have to back you up is that Star won and Cadets have won(several times), but if you go back to when this was going on, i guarantee you people had the same attitude you do right now..... same story, different decade... Star was started by Bill Cook, one of the richest people in the world, but I think HE gave them good management more than a million bucks... Star was not made up from folded corps like Suncoast sound. Maybe Pride of Cincy, but Suncoast Sound was in 6th place Star's first year out. Star came in 10th.
