Favorite Preseason Hype Materials?

Exactly! Most of us are going off of what little hype we've experienced and any available info about the show. If you're a fan of a certain corps it all looks fantastic on paper until the first show.  We are optimistic, as we should be. :) Everything below is all in good fun. I'm certainly guilty of this.

=================================================

Before the Season:

• "Just you wait, corps A is going to be a force"
• "we're moving up this year"
• "this show is going to be awesome" :)
• "we are so much further along than we were last year"

Then after the first show what we get is:

• "Judges got it wrong"
• "Just wait until they clean"
• "wait until the new ending is in place"
• "we should have beat so and so in brass"

Then at mid-season we get:

• "slotting"
• "it's all opinion anyways"
• "just wait until the 2nd new ending is in place"
• "wait until they hit 208 in the closer"

Then a few days in front of DCI Finals:

• "I hear so and so is going to pull a few tricks out of the bag" (whatever than means...usually cheese)
• "I hear corps B rewrote their ending"
• "so and so is going to be a dark horse"

Then after Finals:

• "wait until next year"
• "we needed one more week...maybe three"
• "The members did as much as they could with this poorly designed show" (contrary to our thoughts at the onset of the season)

As for real hype I am excited for Crown, Bluecoats, Cadets, BD, Boston for sure, and pretty much everyone out there. Competitively I do want to see what Boston will bring to the table. Will they be ready to take a top 5 position?  Really pulling for a Madison Scout resurgence. 

 

Some of us have heard many of these corps and  are basing our hype on that too. Of course I love my Cavaliers, but I've been around long enough to know if its hype or warranted hyped. BOSTON AND CAVALIERS  sounds as good as the rest right now. Every  corps in top 10, for sure does sounds really good compared to this time last year. Maybe 1 corps is currently  a little lower.
