oldbandguy Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Here's last year's results: 1 The Cavaliers 87.350 2 Carolina Crown 85.950 3 Blue Devils 85.900 4 The Cadets 85.550 5 Phantom Regiment83.100 6 Bluecoats 82.900 7 Santa Clara 80.850 8 Madison Scouts 79.850 9 Boston Crusaders79.400 10 Blue Stars 78.850 11 Blue Knights 78.500 12 Troopers 74.700 13 Spirit of Atlant74.450 14 Glassmen 74.300 15 Colts 73.250 16 Crossmen 72.850 17 Teal Sound 69.650 18 Cascades 66.750 Here's something interesting to consider...of the top 13 at last year's Minnesota show only ONE corps stayed in their same rank at finals...that being Phantom at #5. The biggest change was in Cadets moving from #4 to #1. As for predictions...I'm thinking the top 8 will break 80 and the spread from 1 to 8 will be LESS than 6 points.

N.E. Brigand Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I'm sorry, but I spit my coffee at the screen when I saw this, so I had to post it. Whoever the author is... That's hilarious!

GMichael1230 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yeah, Im totally not understanding all the red negatives here and on other threads.......difference of opinion is normal, why give a red strike ?? and also a red strike for predictions ?? I guess I dont understand how this system works. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A red or a green is just as much of an opinion. It's not a question of validation, it's a freely spoken (or in this case "click") gesture.

So...you're red negg'ing the user not the message. At least that's how it's supposed to work. If the votes just lived in the message I'd agree with you (and I think that would be a better implementation -- it would correspond to a "Like" or (the ever elusive) "Dislike" on FB). Oh well. </soapbox> Edited July 14, 2012 by corpsband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbin Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 1st place will be close between BD, Cadets, and Crown. I seriously doubt Crown will lose brass. There is simply no comparison between what they are doing and how they sound versus BD and Cadets. Fourth is likely to go to Phantom. SVC and Bluecoats will fill in the 5th/6th spots. Madison looks good for 7th. Eighth seems to battle between Cavies and Boston, although I would LOVE Spirit in this spot. In 10th, I see Spirit. In 11th, Crossmen. In 12th, Bluestars or Blue Knights.
