Mike (Perc judge) didn’t lock himself in at all, no judge does. Judges can edit their scores throughout all of the performances so if he needed to increase Vanguard’s score from the 6th slot, he could have. He didn’t.
I did some ranking breakdowns via sub captions from beginning of season to end based on last score. I combine visual proficiency and analysis. I combine brass and music analysis. (GE/VISPA/CG/BRMA/PRC) Scouts and BDB saw the greatest rank shits overall with +4. For example. The scouts improved 8 placements for visual from last year and 8 in brass/ma. That’s huge! The Guardians suffered the most falling 8+ ranks on average. For example, the guardians fell six spots in ge from last year, 10 spots from visual, 6 spots from cg, 9 spots in brass/ma and 11 spots in percussion.
From watching the corps on FloMarching I would have had Pacific Crest and Crossmen in Finals and Cavies and Scouts 13th and 14th respectively. Pacific Crest had the best design and a more demanding show. Crossmen was a mess for most of the season, but it finally clicked in Indy. Scouts show lacked top 12 demand and design, Cavies were burdened by a terrible design for the 3rd yr in an row and they need to clean house.
I think being the last all male corps is hindering them now. It’s not the only reason or the main reason but it has to be a contribution factor) Literally telling half the population you can’t March with us. Tradition I know I know but it’s not healthy for the organization.
@@markbrown1324not to be gossipy but from what I heard of this season: Percussion did so well last year and previous years, McIntosh was given more creative control design wise. There was head butting and major ego issues mid season related to various design choices which resulted in the departing of McIntosh about 3/4ths of the way into the season.
I think the issue is that anybody with any interest in DCI can reliably predict the top corps. It seems like DCI is TERRIFIED of allowing judges to stir the pot
Bluecoats color guard book is less.difficult than boston, crown, SCV or stars but it's extremely musical and tightly executed
I wish I knew more about CG

Touché!
Please put out the two episodes you talked about making yesterday! Especially the one on black Monday! It’s very interesting

Good to see that drum corps competitive streak is alive and well...😆

This is great data!
i was also thinking about how scv and cavies weren’t in the top 5 when they won percussion. i haven’t seen anyone else mention it until now!

Absolutely agree!!!!
Horn lines Win Shows!
Biggest question, what happened to the cavaliers? They were the blue devils of the early 2000s
That sounds like a great topic for a video!

Thank you Josh!! I was going to write a comment, but you did it for me. What the hell is going on with the Cavaliers?
@@RVVDont Agreed...when you look at some of the soloists on the field, there are quite a few females playing those parts.
