Michael Boo Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 I should add it was my editor's idea to post the sound clip of the scores being announced. Nice "value added." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dccorpsfan Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Man, that place went nuts when they said Phantom got a share of the championship. Still, I can't wait until Phantom gets a title of their own. Hopefully, this will be the year! *keeps fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl306 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Going to the part where Crocker says "a tie for first place," maybe it's just me, but does he sound really unenthusiastic about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dccorpsfan Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Well, I mean, it's hard to get excited about a tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all in the delivery...saying it low and slow DID kinda ensure it came out clear and unmistakable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMKuzma Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) "You gotta be kidding! A tie?" I remember standing on the field during retreat when I heard this. I was like, "What the heck?" With Phantom in the bottom of the Top 6 coming into Finals Week, no one thought they could go from 4th at Quarters to 1st in Finals. Tying for first place with BD aside, it was quite a shocker to see them jump up like that. Edited May 20, 2007 by GMKuzma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 It's all in the delivery...saying it low and slow DID kinda ensure it came out clear and unmistakable... True. Can you imagine the reaction of the audience if you added confusion from not hearing clearly what was said to the confusion already resulting from hearing it?

Gentleman Marcher Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Going to the part where Crocker says "a tie for first place," maybe it's just me, but does he sound really unenthusiastic about that? I'd say he sounds enthusiastic enough when he growls out Regiment's name at the end in his trademark style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob984 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Back in my 2nd year marching (1978) Phantom and SCV tied for first at DCI Championship prelims in Denver. We were actually given instructions that if they tied in finals, that we would be exiting the field quickly, as the two corps would play it off, as was in the rules at that time!! Ironically, in prelims when they tied, Vanguard had a .1 penalty and Phantom went penalty free. In finals, before penalties they were tied, but Phantom has a .1 penalty (rifle drop) and lost by .1. That was kind of sad, as I understand that the person who dropped felt responsible for the loss...........it would have been a wild scene if they had to play it off, and "historical'..........GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
