What's at stake in the Atlanta show?

[Carolina09Spirit]

So the last time all the corps met on the same night in one place has been a while.

This weekend, they all meet in Atlanta of course...

What do you think is at stake for corps individually?

Or...what surprise do you think may happen on Saturday?

Thoughts?

I really think Blue Stars could shock some people. They are getting clean at the right time. When I saw them in Denton the other night, they were at about the same level as Crown, Cadets, and Cavies. I also think Cavies are gonna get close to BD, maybe Phantom edge even closer to the top 5? In this season, anything is possible!

From the blue stars perspective, i believe Atlanta is the last time that they will compete head to head with Boston or SCV (who they have been rapidly catching up to) before finals. Im sure theyd like to have some head to head matchups the next week.

This year is so weird with only one real head to head matchup of everyone before finals. I know why allentown is loved out there, but in cases like this i really wish we had a venue for that weekend that could hold a single day show. (perhaps instead, hold allentown before, like we do now for houston\dallas)

Time's getting short for anyone to catch the Blue Devils.Tonight, they opened up a 2.25 lead on 2nd place Cavaliers. And I bet they're getting ready to unleash a delicious rewrite of part of their show, maybe their closer, like they did last year as they approached Allentown. If they pick up many more tenths with any more improvements, it's all for 2nd place in Indy behind BD. Love 'em or hate 'em, you've got to tip your hat - they're working their butts off like everyone else and getting results.

Agreed. Tip your hat to an excellent organization and a great corps. However, that lead doesn't mean much unless it is at the same show. While BD is having a show today, The Cavaliers are rehearsing and putting in the new ending to their show. So, it is hard to say what that lead is right now... even though I am sure that BD will still be ahead of the pack come saturday night.

i think what is at stake at the top is if anyone may be able to make a push at BD

after that, it's all about positioning heading into Allentown. I do expect some flip flopping in all areas

Did not realize the Cavies were in the show tonight.

I hope SCV turns it up to full blast and comes up a couple spots. I think Cavies are far from out of it in spite of what the numbers say. If PR is still on top of the Sanford trophy hey right on! They have a great line!

Weren't you the same guys saying how cool it was that Cavies were within a point of BD two days ago? Goes both ways....
