  1. I've been to every DCI in Indy a few BOA's and a couple of NCAA events. The best dining experiences I have had:

    • Fogo de Chao 317-638-4000, 117 East Washington Street- Brazilian BBQ, The side orders and cheeses in the buffet are incredible. The red meat eaters in our group said the meats are Awesome!
    • Shapiro's Delicatessen- 808 S Meridian St, Indianapolis, IN 46225 Great food low prices across from corps bus parking lot
    • Tavern on South 317-602-3115, 423 West South Street- I've eaten here about 10 times. Salmon, Chilean sea bass, filet mignon, etc... All Excellent! Fresh in house made deserts! (My first meal in Indy will probably be there!)
    • St Elmo's Steak House, Weber Grill, Ruth Chris Steak House, Morton's Steak House- I've Been to all four more than twice. You probably can't go wrong here.
    • Palomino 317-974-0400, 49 West Maryland Street and Mo's A Place for Steaks 317-624-0720, 47 South Pennsylvania Street- Just as good as the above but, Better side dishes in my opinion.
    • Oceanaire Seafood Room, 317-955-2277, 39 South Meridian Street- I've never had a bad or average meal here!
    • The Food Trucks on W. Georgia St. ( Mon-Fri)- Everything I bought at the trucks were reasonably priced and delicious! I had Cajun jambalaya, BBQ chicken and tons of other stuff.
    • Turkey Legs,Corn on the Cob and Fresh Lemon Aid at the State Fair! Yum, Yum and Yum!
    • It's 72 degrees in the Stadium you may need a jacket or hoodie.
    • Indy has very good museums 
    • Take a stroll on the river-walk and visit the zoo
    • Do some non drum corps things between shows

      My Predictions

     

    Santa Clara Vanguard - 77.75

        The Cavaliers - 74.85

        Mandarins - 73.00

        Blue Knights - 72.10

        Troopers - 64.35

        Pacific Crest - 60.65

     

    Actual Scores

     

    1 Santa Clara Vanguard 77.000
    2 The Cavaliers 74.800
    3 Blue Knights 71.500
    4 Mandarins 70.050
    5 Troopers 63.050
    6 Pacific Crest 62.150
    7 Genesis 57.400

    Not bad. I knew BK would be close, I didn't expect them to beat Mandarins their first show. Mandarins are really good. I knew SCV and Cavies was a spread thing. Cavies staff needs to lobby these judges and get a few more GE and Vis points if they're going to make a serious medal run.

    They were.  Pretty good brass, too.  I played French Horn in the corps. 

    You did? :worthy: My step brother James Dennis auditioned  for them during that time, he made 1st soprano then deiced to march for Bridgemen.  I loved Guardsmen late 70's early 80's.

    BD finishing 5th or worse this YEAR?? Few things i can guarantee.........

    1. I will never be a millionaire.

    2. I will always have to depend on my lame boring personality to compensate for my lack of good looks.

    3. DCP'er "Standing O" will always be a troll, never bringing anything meaningful to a conversation on this site.

    4. BD is not finishing out of the medal spots this year. 

    See you in August to review #4.

    I could see Blue Devils dropping below 3rd. Not because BD is slipping (Blue Devils are very good this year). The other top corps have up'd their game. Vanguard, Bluecoats, Crown and Boston all have a shot at top 3, not to mention Cavaliers are looking scary good this year. Having so many good corps at the top is a great thing.
