Shows for Monday August 8th, 2022 (4/4)
Event: Tour of Champions - Akron presented by Stanbury Uniforms Location: InfoCisicion Stadium-Summa Field @ University of Akron, Akron, OH Weather @ Show Start: 40% Chance of Scattered Thunderstorms, 86 FBroadcast: This event will be livestreamed on FloMarching. Lineup (All Times EDT):
8:00 PM - Welcome & National Anthem 8:10 PM - Pacific Crest - Diamond Bar, CA 8:27 PM - Phantom Regiment - Rockford, IL [...] A friend who joined me at this show, who has enjoyed drum corps for decades but doesn't follow the activity closely and has no information about the current standings, said to me just after Phantom Regiment performed: "I think we should leave now. It can't get any better than that." And then of course the rest of the competition was cancelled. We did stay for the eventual encore performances (but he really couldn't stand Bluecoats' narration: it just killed the show for him). I figured my luck dodging the rain over the past week would run out sometime. At least I'd seen all these corps already. I feel bad for my friend, and even more for people who, unlike him, don't live in Akron. We spoke to one couple who had driven five hours from Kalamazoo. But Phantom was on fire this evening. I cannot conceive how tonight's performance could have been scored less than 90, but I guess we'll never know. |

1. Calgary Stampede Showband "Life Finds a Way" 78.475 Just got back. (It's a bit more than four hours from Cleveland to Marion, and we stopped for a bite.) What a fantastic evening! I've attended every Open Class Finals since 2012, and this was the strongest top four in those nine years. Those top scores are well deserved. But most of the other scores were rather too high. |

As we listened to the scores being announced from our seats in the top row of the center section of that rather low stadium, I annoyed the friend who joined me for the eight-hour round-trip and five-hour show in Marion by pointing to my notebook and listing each point where the judges and I were or were not in sync -- most of which consists of just remembering the Prelims scores and trying not to let your heart get in the way of your head. But why should he have all the fun?
The judges and I agreed that:
--the top two corps included Gold and SCVC;
--the top four corps included BDB, Gold, Spartans, and SCVC;
--the second place corps was within one-tenth of 82;
--the third place corps was within one-tenth of 81.5;
--the fourth place corps was within one-tenth of 81;
--the fifth through eighth place corps were Guardians, Southwind, Battalion, and Legends, in that order;
--Southwind was at least 1.5 points behind Guardians;
--Battalion was at least 2 points behind Southwind;
--Legends was not more than 1 point behind Battalion;
--the tenth place corps was no more than 1 point behind the ninth place corps;
--7th Regiment was in eleventh place and was at least 3 points behind tenth place;
--Stentors was in twelfth place but was ahead of 7R in G.E. (surprisingly, that was not the case at Prelims); and
--Calgary Stampede and Guardians were within 1 point of each other.
(I see that one of the G.E. judges had the Calgary Stampede Showband in third. They were very entertaining and a great way to start the evening's competitive segment.)
But I thought that Stampede should be ahead of Guardians. And that the twelfth place score should be about 64. And that RCR would remain ahead of Stars. And that 4 points would separate Guardians from the top four four corps. And I thought Spartans would edge out BDB and Gold could beat SCVC -- although knowing the Prelims scores, I expected the latter was impossible. Sometimes at shows after seeing a number of strong groups perform in a row, I encounter some mental fatigue. They were all so good! Having seen Spartans live twice already, but not having seen BDB, SCVC, or Gold since some early season videos, I was probably more keyed in to how much Spartans had cleaned up than to getting a sharp read on the other three groups. In the case of Gold, I've enjoyed watching them grow over the past ten years, but as they got nearer to the top of Open Class, I'd found their shows to be a bit too slick for my taste, and as last night's performance started, that feeling returned. But the show quickly grew on me, and by the end they had so exceeded my expectations that I wanted them to win. But I should have listened to the nagging voice in my head, which was telling me that a gap of 1.25 in Prelims was too much for Gold to overcome in Finals.

In the final seconds of Calgary's Open Class Finals performance Tuesday, my friend and I noticed that some of the woodwind players were kneeling on the sidelines without their instruments. Now we know why: they were practicing for the "Life Finds a Way" fabric screen they revealed today in World Class Prelims. |

Interesting Prelims results. Phantom has overtaken Mandies and then Troopers and Colts up and over Crossmen and Blue Knights.

The scores for the lower Open Class groups settled closer to where I thought they should be on Tuesday.
I could just see Stentors overtaking 7th Regiment, but I see that the reason was a *two point* penalty.
Interesting that Battalion overtook Southwind. They were two points apart on Tuesday, which I thought was correct.
Sorry to see that Calgary didn't make Semifinals (which would have led to 26 groups performing tomorrow).
Is this the first time that all World Class corps made Semifinals since DCI went to this format about 10 years ago? Of course, there are fewer W.C. corps this year.
Based on past years' trends, I would expect scores for at least SCVC to go up again tomorrow.
Right after the early July show at Kent State, I said that Music City could break 80 this year. Glad to see that happened.
Also thrilled to see both Colts and especially Troopers in the top twelve at the moment.
And that Phantom overtook Mandarins. Now I want their score to surpass 90.
There was an anti-closeup gremlin with the cinema presentation of Phantom's show: the climactic moment when the guard member on the "long walk" changes uniforms was barely visible in the background of a low-angle shot of something else entirely. If you didn't know to look for it, you'd miss it.
Another problem with the broadcast was that they were unable to properly balance Bluecoats' complicated sound: you couldn't hear a lot of the narration, particularly early in the show.
Did I see the Bluecoats' keytar player switch to a second instrument because of sound issues?
I'd be content with any of the top four winning, but despite my dislike of their arrangement of "Moon River," I think Blue Devils do have the most balanced presentation.

I was SHOCKED to see Jersey Surf in semifinals after this season but I bid them a huge congratulations on making it in!!!!
Blue Knights are out of reach for finals now in my opinion….the final battle begins between Troopers, Crossmen and Colts! Those Crossmen are fighting fighting fighting hard to maintain that finals streak and it’s not going to be easy for the judges!
Congratulations to Blue Devils for their 20th win this year! What an amazing show!!! Boston Crusaders won’t win but they should have their first medal!

I think that if that exact top 12, in that exact order, were to be the way things shake out on Finals night, I would completely agree with it. I would feel bad for Crossmen, but if one of the Colts/Troop/X-Men trio has to be left out... then they're probably the one.

Interesting that Pacific Crest chose to bring back Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" from their 2015 show, "The Catalyst" -- about a large mysterious box that opened to reveal angels or aliens or something. I thought that was a promising endeavor that didn't quite pay off. And I specifically remember other audience members near me at the show in Erie not recognizing the song until I told them. That show got was scoring 74 two weeks before championships, and that's the score they got in semifinals, although they did pop a 77 once in between. This year they reached 74 at about the same point, and with fewer shows than in 2015, they've only grown since then, scoring 79 yesterday; we'll see where they end up today.

Surprised that Vanguard Cadets at Open Class Finals didn't bring out that gold fabric we saw at the end of their show today. (Just looked back at photos I took Tuesday and it definitely wasn't there.) I guess they figured they were safely in first without it?
