With the retention I'm hearing about from Cavaliers MM's and staff...I don't see them tumbling down to 7. Lots of good post-season vibe coming out of Rosemont. 

I second this. 

Can't wait to see what the Green team brings to the field not only in 2018, but in the coming years.

11. Colts 

 

 I 'd love to see Howard Weinstein be able to put this together for the Colts. Its doable. But there are huge hurdles. The Colts this season had more age outs than Madison Scouts, Crossmen, Mandarins, Academy, and lost a 3rd of their percussion battery that'll need to be replaced.  if the Colts do finish in 11th, it would be historic for its marchers in 2018, as none of them would have been born the last time ( 1996 ) the Colts finished this high in DCI. Would love to see new blood make it back to Finals like this though.

Same prediction I made for 2017 (& 16, & 15...) & Haven't been wrong yet

Some Corps will place higher in 2018 than in 2017

Some corps will place lower in 2018 than in 2017

Some Corps will place the same in 2018 as in 2017

Yep!

Haha yet some will be perplexed at rankings and ratings in units even if the composition and performance is vastly different than years previous.

SCV, Cavies, Boston, BK so low.  Interesting prediction!

@B-FlatCorrection-- I could see Boston making top 5 easily.  I partially retract my statement and I apologize, but the others, still interesting.

Not convinced they are going to hold on to top 4 next year.

There were a number of DCP folks saying the same thing about them being top 5 after last year. 

I like Bloo and their organization. But realistically, they have one title and three other Top 3 finishes in 30 years of being a regular finalist, vs seven titles and twelve other top three finishes for Rosemont in that same 30 year span (four top 3's vs nineteen top 3's in other words). Assuming an organization with that kind of track record doesn't know how to stay in the top of the activity is a mistake.
