Cavaliers prevail at World Championship Semis
By capturing the highest score in the World Championship Semifinals competition, The Cavaliers may have secured two out of three shows at the Drum Corps International Division I World Championships. But the mystery as to the final placements is anything but etched in stone. By capturing the highest score in the World Championship Semifinals
competition, The Cavaliers may have secured two out of three shows at
the Drum Corps International Division I World Championships. But the
mystery as to the final placements is anything but etched in stone.
Blue Devils (2nd place) is less than a point away from springing into
the top spot and Phantom Regiment (3rd place) is just a shade over a
point away. The Green Machine enjoyed the biggest increase in score of
the top three corps from the Quarterfinals competition, and a .6
increase in visual performance from Thursday assisted that jump.
Blue Devils also dropped in percussion, but managed to pull out a tie
for second in the caption with Bluecoats. Once again, the corps took
high color guard, but took second to the Cavaliers in general effect
visual, visual performance and visual ensemble, and second to Phantom
Regiment's winning percussion score. For the second night, the corps
also took third in music brass and music ensemble.
Phantom Regiment's percussion has never taken top honors at the DCI
World Championship, but that could change this year. The corps also
took over first in general effect music from the Cavaliers, took second
in brass and music ensemble and placed third in all other captions.
Make no mistake, fans could be talking about any combination of
placements among the top three before Saturday turns into Sunday.
A fantastic highlight of the evening was the 225 members of the Madison
Scouts Alumni Reunion Project, playing a number of great tunes from the
stellar repertoire of greatest hits so beloved by all drum corps
fandom. (Text: dci.org)
