craiga Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Does anyone else remember last year at this time when Boston was being as stoic as they are now...and some dcpers were nevertheless insisting that BAC couldn't possibly live up to "all the hype"? (And all they had done was announce staff...) Yes, BAC might finish a place or two higher, etc etc etc. Can't wait to get to Vermont next month...... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably started counting the days till Vermont after scores were announced on August 12th in Indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely a suprised how much they improved in one year! A very nice suprise. You can't blame people too much as such an improvement is quite rare in this activity. I won't be making the same mistake again. A top 3 finish is certainly a possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was caught off guard too— that was an amazing improvement for just one year’s time. (It gives me hope that Regiment could turn things around as well.) It’d be pretty cool to see them bust into the top three this year. I’m really itching for some shakeups at the top but those corps aren’t going to make it easy for anyone to knock them off the pedestals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevergreen Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Very respectable finish even with the Cadets not at their best. I thought they would improve given the pedigree of a lot of new staff, did not see 6th though, but thought top 8 was realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the nice photo of you and the Braddock kids at the show in Jupiter last year. USCG license. Way to go. Will be driving some this year. On the ship now.

Boston and Cavies are on the climb. The possibility of a non-blue top 3 (been over a decade) would be a good shakeup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politics are still very alive and well in DCI and lucky for the "blue's" that are in discussion, they develop great shows with all of the elements that the new DCI asks for. I'm right there with you regarding it being pretty awesome to see the top 3 being shaken up (it's about time for goodness sake) but realistically I can't say that I'll see that anytime soon. Hopefully I'll be eating my words and kicking myself in the arse come August! I do however think that BAC will be right up there with the top 3 this year if not 2019.
