It’s amazing how groups can still get 97.5+ and still come in second! Really shows how incredible these groups are and how amazing DCI is as a whole!

This has both made me appreciate the drill of the older dci shows and the props of modern ones. I find props to add a lot visually, but it feels like drill has gotten significantly less cool

Thank you so much for compiling this!! I marched Contra Bass Santa Clara Vanguard 1998. A wonderful trip down memory lane!

Do you really wonder why? Come on, Dawg. I thought the artform requires evolution.. so yeah. Scores inevitably grow, as a result of the love and attention members, staff, and writers reach for. I, for one, do not appreciate your passive aggressive attitude. Encourage, esé.

All I’m saying...blue coats 2014 🤤

Felliniesque’s score of 99.65 absolutely amazes me every time.

That Santa Clara Vanguard 2018 show Babylon was epic, pure insanity, the brass section was so powerful

I was a band nerd at Clifton High School Clifton, Tx. We were just a 2A band but so large nobody believed us. Our school always has done well in state, my sister is 7 years older than me and we were top 5 then, as was with me, then both my daughters are 2007 and 2009. 2005 they got 7th place, so bummed they weren't in top 5. But hey they performed excellent, just had so many excellents. But always been proud of our school. My band director died of cancer tho my Jr year, Larry Snider at age 25. He was so amazing at his job, loved every minute of what he did. We learned so much from him. I played clarinet, bass clarinet, and flag squad my freshman year.

To be honest, I have "no skin" in this game, but the sound of the ensemble is quite admirable, at the very least. Sound does matter, yes??? And though I have not seen the entire performance - viewed in 20K resolution on a super computer with the best graphics card on the planet (and the sound reinforced through separately quad-amped surround sound reference system) -, I would say that you are most probably WRONG. Just sayin'. Chill, maybe?
