Hey guys, so a lot of you who are active on the forums have been around this site for a long time, and even if you haven't, you've probably looked into some if the past seasons to see how all of the current groups got to where they are.
I'm also willing to bet that a lot of you spend time on this site just kinda doing nothing between rehearsals. At least I do. So while you're doing nothing, why not try to answer these trivia questions! Whoever gets the most points gets eternal bragging rights and an Internet hug from yours truly. If it turns out that a lot of people get the maximum points, the winner will be the first person to send in the correct answers.
The challenge is 6 questions long with one bonus question, which is worth twice as many points as the others. Some questions have opportunities for partial credit if you only get part of it correct.
Message me with your answers to the questions, and I'll reveal the winner(s) at the beginning of finals week! The deadline to message your answers is the last day of week 4.
1. What was the largest margin of victory for any Division 1 Championship, what season was it in, and who won it?
2. Who is the most recently joined person on FMA who has won a Division 1 Championship in any group? (DC, MB, DL, CG)
3. On the other hand, who is the oldest member who has been active in EVERY SEASON INCLUDING SEASON 32 who has NEVER won a Div 1 Championship?
4. Who was the first group to break the 90 point barrier? What season?
5. How many times has the Drum Corps Div 1 Medal standings (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) changed between prelims and finals of the same season? I.e. Prelims shows the ranking to be A, B, C, but semis has them as B, A, C, this counts as a change.
6. What is the closest margin of victory for a Div 1 Drum Corp in SEMIFINALS?
BONUS: Take the number of times Stradivarius's DC has been in Div 1, but missed finals. Now add the number of times cire's Corps has missed a medal. Now multiply by the number of times my own groups (DC, MB, DL, and CG) have increased in rank between semis and finals. Finally, subtract the number that equates to the longest Div 1 Championship winning streak for any group. What is the number you end up with?
