Finals Predictions


Recommended Posts

This has been a hot topic in World Class, so let's do this for Open! With Surf and Spokane out of the rankings this will be interesting!

1. Blue Devils B - angry about last year, no way they're gonna let it happen again, lots of vets

2. Oregon Crusaders - continuing show designs that work, fun year for members

3. Capital Sound - being the former World Class corps, they will get a lot of attention from auditionees

4. Raiders - large flow of new talent from Surf going World Class, it will be hard but with effort they can pull it off

5. Citations - harder drill and larger drumline, otherwise mostly same scores as 08

6. Teal Sound - same talent as previous years, about the same score

7. Revolution - more horns and more entertaining show

8. Vanguard Cadets - with most of last year's members moving on to the A corps it will be a rough year for them

9. Velvet Knights - large corps like last year, now they'll have the staff to match it

10. Legends - now that they've made their mark in Open Class, interest will attract members

11. Music City - good planning and talented members will get this first-year corps farther than anyone expected

12. Yamato - growing in both membership and talent rapidly

13. Spartans - having Tom Aungst will help only so much, miss Finals by fractions of a point

14. Chippewa Valley Brigade - strong for a first-year corps

15. Dutch Boy - same numbers as last year but not as much talent

16. 7th Regiment - growing slowly but surely

17. Impulse - will begin a slow recovery period after last year

18. Racine Scouts - more drums to match last year's swell in the hornline

19. Colt Cadets - about the same as last year

20. Spirit of Newark - new facility will help, but not much

21. Les Stentors - more members, but same talent

Gold - consistent all summer, would make Finals easily if they went to Indy

Incognito - growing, will beat Mystikal most but not all times

Mystikal - slight differences from last year, but mostly the same

City Sound - can't really say what will happen with this new corps

Targets - nothing changes for this corps

Blue Devils C - little corps that could churns out solid members for 2010's B corps

Are these strictly your assumptions?? or do you have inside knowledge on all the corps by either visiting their first camps or know someone from each organization that has given you the lowdown on each program this early in the year??

Why is everybody always angry on DCP? Yes all of these are assumptions, none of this is supposed to be real. That's why these are PREDICTIONS and not FACTS.

Geez, you people. Grow up! It's only a forum.

Because Chippewa has been trying to start a corps for years now and even managed to do an exhibition at one point, so they already have some degree of experience. On the other hand, City Sound is brand new and has hardly made any press releases yet, except that they're doing better than expected which isn't really an indication on how they will compare to other corps.

Cool! I will give it a go.

Top 4 (Any Order)

Oregon Crusaders - Good show design- good return of staff, and good momentum from 08

BDB - Denied in 08 but will come back strong just like thier World Class Conterparts

Teal Sound - Have built a good base and will continue to be in the hunt until thier departure to World Class

Revolution - Had a strong DL in 08, add to that a larger hornline, and better guard (WG) WOW

Next 4 (Any Order)

Capital Regiment - Must shake the cobwebs off after 2 years out

SCVC - Someone said it best A corps takes away the talent (Rebuild)

Citations - Steady growth but playing field is gonna be tough

Raiders - Big improvements are underway and it will show!

Final 4 (Any Order)

Velvet Knights - Steady rise - besides from what I hear gonna be a great show!

Spartans - hard to keep a good corps with great history out for too long

Yamato - Consistancy is thier key word!

Memphis Sound - Transitions in location could prove positive, but it may take time. (Dark Horse)

Semi Finalist - (Any Order)

Dutch Boy

Legends

Impulse

7th Regiment

Music City

Quarterfinalist - (Any Order)

Racine Scouts

Spirit of Newark/ New Jersey
