general_tsos_chicken2 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 With all the staff changes in place now... I'll shoot. 1. BD 2/3. Cadets/SCV 4. Cavaliers 5. Phantom Regiment 6. Carolina Crown 7-11. BK, Boston, Bluecoats, Blue Stars, Madison.... very very close, in any order 12. Spirit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Since we have no idea, except past performance, I will use CI: 1-3: BD, Cadets, Cavies (in no particular order) If The Blue Devils, Cadets, or Cavs win next year this would be so shocking to my system that I may not be able to eat a thing for an hour.

fsubone Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 1.) Cadets 2.) Crown (maybe in another year or two, they'll take the gold) 3.) SCV (big staff changes, big move up?) 4.) Blue Devils- anything lower would be stupid 5.) Cavaliers- New drill designer could be a slow start 6.) Bloo- maybe higher, maybe lower, new brass staff could change a lot 7.) Phantom- what can no JD Shaw mean for them? 8.) Madison- keep working the identity, and pleasing the fans 9.) BK- more crowd friendly shows, but missing something needed to move up 10.) BS- teething phase trying to find what makes them "them" 11.) Boston- No Jay Kennedy means a big hit 12.) Academy- Andre Feagin. 'Nuff said 13.) Spirit (not sure, just a slight step down) 14.) Glassmen (no room at the top) 15.) Troopers (need something to re-establish their "brand" while still being successful) 16.) Crossmen (starting to find their stride in the DCI world, look out for them in 2013) 17.) PC- consistent? 18.)OC corps 1 19.) Teal Sound- new director, but they've found their niche 20.) Jersey Surf- (making DCI fun again) 21.) OC corps 2 22.) Mandarins- they could really be anywhere from 17-25) 23.) Pioneer- need a lot of work, if they really want to make the move up 24.) OC corps 3 25.) OC corps 5 26.) Cascades- sorry guys, someone has to take the bottom spot 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelis Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 See 2001-2002 as well as 2004-2005. 2008 - 2009 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 2008 - 2009 as well I believe he was more referring to years when they placed 2nd, but didn't come back to win the next year. But the ultimate example would have to be either 83-85, or 87-93. The came close, but never took that top spot back after winning the year before with classic shows. It could go in either direction for the Blue Team, they could win again, they could drop back, they could hold steady. No one really knows till Finals night, the are one of those corps that can make a run towards the end of the season, or drop the ball at the end....

Stradbrother Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I dont think the Bluestars are gonna suffer at all. Even though they have a big ageout class, as long as they come out of the gates with an extremely well made show like Houdini, the'll be up in 6th-7th. I love what they do though. They always seem to try new stuff. One show extreme to the next, its a lot of fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) 1.) Cadets 2.) Crown (maybe in another year or two, they'll take the gold) 3.) SCV (big staff changes, big move up?) 4.) Blue Devils- anything lower would be stupid SCV in 3rd, and BD in 4th ? SCV has finished higher than 4th, once in the last 12 years. Its certainly possible they could medal next year, but that's a real stretch, imo. Too much turnover of staff there and Fiedler hasn't done much there to give one confidence that they'll beat ( for example ) BD next season. But who knows. Its September, 2011 here and we're making predictions about August of 2012. Edited September 25, 2011 by BRASSO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxingfred Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 The new judging system is in place in 2012 so our tired and true favorites may get bounced around a little. No picks but if : Cadets can keep their captions in the top 3... Crown can fix their guard and drum scores... cavies can continue their success with a couple of tenths here and there. Who knows...
