Some voters love to be with winners. Look at the Harry Potter Alliance - they are running away with 1st prize yet they still get a ton of votes. BAC just started a push a couple of days ago and sailed past many corps. These smaller corps don't have enough history or numbers to even make a dent. It's too bad. I cast my BAC votes and voted the rest for corps that need to more than others.

It looks like BAC and MCL got a good push today but no love for the Sun Devils ??? SUN DEVILS (DCI/DCA) - 237th place Sun Devils Vote Link This is a 3rd year corps that is making headway but needs money to buy some brass. They currently borrow the brass now.

Don't forget the Little DCA corps !!! Especially the ones that are just on the bubble - they need the money the most !!! Some don't have the web presence of the bigger corps. SUN DEVILS (DCI/DCA) - 237th place Sun Devils Vote Link Steer your vote and gift vote where it will count It looks like MCL got the bump up today from 197 to 147 but now Sun Devils needs a push.

Don't forget the Little DCA corps !!! Especially the ones that are just on the bubble - they need the money the most !!! Some don't have the web presence of the bigger corps. The top 150 should make it but all the corps from 151-250 need the votes the most...............

Can I get a hardship scholarship? I'm living under a bridge near Fenway Park but I think I can stowaway in a Greyhound bus luggage compartment and be there in 4-5 days? When and where is the "Open House"? I hope you have a port-a-johnny. I'll bring the TP. I can bring some slightly warm Walmart "Gift" cards for payment if you cannot help out a deserving drum corps auditioneer.

I have it on good authority that Capt. Castile may have "snuck-in" the stadium, hence making him ineligible for the 50/50 prize. A redraw may be in order unless MC has already purchased many rounds for his bud's at his local establishment.

In Class A I'm lost on Carolina Gold. Haven't read any reviews but they scored pretty well against the others. anybody have any info on them? - they are running under the DCP radar............

Is the North ready for the youth movement? I like Alliance a lot. Percussion was crazy clean. Last year I thought they were an indoor show with some brass and color guard thrown in. This year they are the full package. Not a top 5 corps for sure but I bet 8 or better. DCA South - Sun Devils also have low avg. about 18-19 my guess. Coincidence that Alliance and Sun Devils share the same hotel ? The South has some very good competitive HS bands/competition circuits and hopefully all the DCA-South corps will get a bump up in score.

Class A will be a real dogfight... especially 4-7 position and maybe even 3-7. (3-7) may be a 2 point spread and or (1-3) position may be a 2 pointer. (1-7) I think will be only 5 points max. Re-leveling from the Reading show and the South/Minn. factor. My guesstimate: 1 Grenadiers 82 2 Govenaires 81.5 3 Fusion Core 80.5 4 Carolina Gold 79. 5 Sun Devils 78.5 6 Vigilantes 78.2 7 White Sabers 77.8 8 Sunrisers 74 9 Lakeshoremen 71.5 10 Shenandoah Sound 68.1 11 Excelsior 68

1) BAC chicks were every hot - to repeat an earlier post !!!! ( I heard they had to tone it down coming into finals ). 2) I fell asleep during PR show 3) Teal Sound should go back to Teal uni's and don't be CC Lite 4) Citrus Bowl needs a roof 5) Should add a rule that limits how much money it costs to march 6) BAC chicks were very hot 7) Add a Super corps class so that the top 6 can fight with each other and the make World a 128 member division. 8) Bring back marching tymps 9) Bring back Div 3 so that new corps will have a chance 10) BAC Chicks were very hot ( I'm biased)

Not to leave Class A out: 1 Grenadiers 2 Govenaires 3 Fusion Core 4 Carolina Gold 5 Vigilantes 6 Sun Devils 7 White Sabers 8 Sunrisers 9 Lakeshoremen 10 Excelsior 11 Shenandoah Sound I think 4 & 5 may be a real battle. 1 pt may be the total seperation within 4 corps. I've seen Sun Devils and they could be a real wild card. last show should have 70-72.

I would put Minn. shows in that list (wink-wink).
