Cavies will top Phantom and Cadets at the end. How's that for a prediction?

Cavies underperformed last night. I've seen better performances in practice and the show before. Brass wasn't as tight as it could have been. The corps was good but I know they can perform much better.

Just wait until you see the Cavaliers this week. The improvements are crazy.

Look at the guard work before the step-over.

Some really cool changes coming. Also, just got back one of the screamers from last year.

This year you can. I think 5th place. So far. Behind Bloo, Blue, Boston, and Crown

Cavies show is difficult, there are some very tight pass-throughs and marching sequences. Phantom stages show really cool drum corps moments Blue Stars have a lot going on, sometimes too much

The Cavaliers are way better than they were last year. I watch them practice the other night. Whoa!

Did someone say Costumes?!

It doesn't matter, people usually get popcorn or use the restrooms when INT is on the field.

INT will finish somewhere in the middle of the pack.

I guess you don't get what I'm trying to say. " The right way" = The way it's always been done since the first DCI 3-Pete by St Ignatius. “helped maintain interest in the activity”= Getting the fans used to going back to drum corps show after a year of nothing. Getting the judges an opportunity to judge after a year of nothing. Call it what you want. Three wins over 5 years or Three wins over 3 years. I won't put more thought into it. A fighter wins by disqualification or Knock Out. A win is a win.*

If BD wins they are repeat champions. Everything got reset in 2020. Devils didn't field a corps in 2021 while other corps helped to maintain interest in the activity. I wish I could take two years off my job and claim my 3-year bonus or be out for an extended sick leave and claim perfect attendance at school. The Blue Devils are good enough to earn a Three-Pete the right way.

Ron died on 12/29/20 from COVID.

Reminds me of FourCorners/SpinCycle with cool mellophone parts. I think that's a fair description of the 4 minutes I heard.

I heard about 4 minutes of the show. The brass and percussion are better now than they were at the beginning of Spring Training last year. They are off to a very good start.

It's Time! Central Time?

Bluecoats will announce sometime after the second show. What you saw the other day is called...

Barring another mandemic, The Cavaliers will be much improved.

Cavaliers win percussion. There I said it. I don't care what you think.

It's possible but Boston's guard, Crowns Brass, any number of percussion lines. Will they sweep sub-captions too?

A bunch of you think Cavies are slipping because they all caught covid and missed almost two weeks of shows and practice last year. ( as Jay-Z would say) OK.
