Excessive power usage due to the heat, perhaps?

Sometimes I listen to radio from South Africa, where the term for what we in the U.S. call a rolling blackout is "load shedding."

A 2.85 point jump for Troopers in three days. I'd only seen their preview show, but I thought their scores before today seemed low compared to the rest of the field.

It’s a sliding scale, after all, right? They could jump 0.1 points or 10 points in three days, it’s all kind of relative and arbitrary depending on a huge number of factors. I know you know this; I just find it interesting when people bring up point jumps from show to show. Just as one can’t compare all the corps’ scores from show to show, one can’t meaningfully compare a single corp’s score differences, either. 

And now I prepare to be schooled by logic I had not previously thought of in your response. 🤓

The Kiwanis Thunder of Drums Scores...

All-Age Class
1. Govenaires 69.05

I feel like every year Govies get a very low score followed a week or two later by a very high score, and then settle down to somewhere in between.

It's been nearly two weeks, but they just jumped 15 points. It would be great if this is legit, because I think that would portend them scoring in the low to mid 80s at Finals. It appears their best score at DCA Finals was 84.930 for "What Happens in Vegas" in 2011. Their last four finishes were in the upper 70s.

(Another corps that has had weird results like that in the past is Raiders in DCI's Open Class.)

2-T. Colts 78.10
2-T. The Cavaliers 78.10

Cavaliers, who famously won the percussion caption last year while placing eighth overall, were fourth in percussion tonight.

Elsewhere around the web, I've seen claims that Cavaliers and their battery arranger parted ways yesterday. Not sure if that's true (or if so, for what reason).

[Subito Fortissimo]

Awesome to see Colts doing so well. For a corps that was generally not particularly close to finals in the 2010s it's great to see how they have reinvented themselves into a solid finalist corps post-Covid.

Elsewhere around the web, I've seen claims that Cavaliers and their battery arranger parted ways yesterday. Not sure if that's true (or if so, for what reason).

There were some rumblings that Mike Macintosh has left, but I don't know how or in what way. He writes the battery and front ect. Obviously a very well-known name, but not sure on what his involvement was in this season or the corps at large. 

They picked up David Starnes who I think is way past his prime with design - but that's just my opinion. 

With that said if you look on their staff page, they have a pretty star-studded staff, so idk what's up.

Always drama somewhere in DCI
