We also haven't see Phantom and Blue Knights. It's going to be a very wild ride! I am dying to see a full run of Phantom's show. Dying.

CorpwithanS Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 1 hour ago, craiga said: Saw Boston Crusaders tonight...full show, top to bottom, full uniforms, props in, guard book complete. I have been predicting finals placement for BAC 1-12th all winter. Time to narrow it down and put it out there. Based on tonight's performance and videos of others I have seen, I see Boston in 5th this summer, and most likely winning the guard trophy. If this happens, would this still be considered hype? Or, the new reality? Your Euro-cousins love you, BAC. Ignoret dem borgen, Boston. "Shake your bacon" BAC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brassdude6171 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Really quickly and I can't elaborate on this till Thursday for my start-of-season 12, but if there's a season where Blue Devils don't medal, this is it... and it wouldn't necessarily be their fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Well Cadets and Boston are much better than they were in 2016 but until you see everyone else, it's hard to predict anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinetic inferno11 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I don't want to make another thread about this (maybe it should be, idk) but why are so many groups using vocalists? Isn't this drum and bugle corps? I know a few have had one in the past couple of years, but why the outbreak of them this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not a new/recent thing for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps8294 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The trend, now, is most definitely "lead, follow, or get out of the way." The corps at the very top are the standard setters and those that wish to remain in the top 12 or become a part of it have picked up on what has been established as the new plateau of the activity. Pretty safe to say that the years of "General George" calling the shots for drum corps are gone, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
