1) Blue Devils, because duh

2) Carolina Crown, I think they'll come back very strong next season.

3) Bluecoats, they will come back much stronger than last season, but not enough to compete with the top 2. 

4) Cavaliers, they will give bloo a challenge, but not enough to medal. 

5) SCV, their show will be too much like last years, not many will like it.

6) Cadets, they will have to compete with Blue Knights, but they will prove to everybody that the Cadets have not given up. 

7) Blue Knights, there will be a very close race with the Cadets, and they will probably win more head to head matches with them, but Cadets will just edge them out by finals or semis. 

8) Phantom, yeah I think they will try to give BK some competition, but will never get close enough to become a threat.

9) Crossmen, they will come out with a great show, and will fight with Phantom for 8th

10) Mandarins, they will come with an amazing show, they will pretty much do an Academy. Probably one of the fan favorites.

11) Boston Crusaders, they will flop after Wicked Games and won't produce anything like it for a while. 

12) Blue Stars, they will fight for a finalist spot with Academy and Scouts, and will be victorious.

 

Anyone who knows anything about where Boston has been and how they got to where they are now, wouldn't predict a flop in 2018. I doubt there has ever been a corps in the modern era go from barely making finals at all, to 6th the next season. And a rock solid Sixth, too. Third in guard.

No, Boston is not going away.

yes, the pressure is on to follow this year up, and it won't be easy. The staff came in with all their back pocket ideas and got to put them into play. Now, you have to start from scratch. It's a real test. But come on, they will again bring almost everyone back, and reload with some elite age outs. They are a real threat to medal.

You make a good point. It's only my opinion anyways. I made this just for fun and for something else to look forward to next season (to see how accurate I am) and I didn't really take this prediction that seriously considering the fact that I only started following drum corps this past January.

I am gonna do it. Competition has been heating up a lot over the past few years with what are now the top 6. I know this is ridiculous and off the wall but I would love a DCI where the top 6 or even 9 finish in an unpredictable order.

1. SCV

2. Bluecoats

3. Cavaliers

4. Blue Devils

5. Boston

6. Crown

7. BK

8. Phantom

9. Cadets

10. Madison

11. Academy

12. Blue Stars

13. Mandarins

14. Crossmen

15. Troopers

16. Colts

17. Oregon Crusaders

18. SOA

19. Music City (if they go world class)

20. Genesis

21. Jersey Surf

22. Pacific Crest

23. Cascades

24. Pioneer

I will add explanations later... although I think it's a crapshoot at this point...and... really the Blue Devils are probably going to win again.

Crossmen make a jump in the standings, and we start having a serious battle for that 12th spot with Mandarins and the Academy being legitimate contenders for finals.
