Haha... amen to that first quote... And for the second... exactly... Crown is getting better... a lot better... but they're not out of the woods yet. They certainly have all my support, but we have to continue to be realistic, especially during the off season. The only time I'll ever get on here and over-hype them MIGHT be after I see them at a show, and only then if they have grown leaps and bounds since last year (like they did from 04 to 05). So in brief... Crown... yay... be realistic.

BD, Crown, Cavies...

And how is it that people can actually say that Crown is going to win high brass this year? Do they really have the talent that some of the other big boys do? Lots of corps have gotten to where they are now and never gone to the next level... what's there to say that they will get there where others have failed?

Ditto! Lock and key...

My son's friend got a chance to sit down in a meeting with Dan Acheson this past weekend at a Carolina Crown camp... when this topic was brought up, all Dan said was that "it is still a possibility"...

Bluecoats, Crown up. Cadets, Madison down.

1. Star of Indiana 2. Garfield Cadets 3. The Cavaliers 4. The Blue Devils 5. Santa Clara Vanguard 6. Bridgemen 7. 27th Lancers 8. Phantom Regiment 9. Madison Scouts 10. Spirit 11. Muchachos 12. Carolina Crown

Achem... Cadets 98? ?

Great horns... yes, good horns... but what a difference between 04-05... with the same improvement in 06, I hope they're reinforcing stadiums all around the country... Great feet... um... you may be suffering from severe blindness... they moved alright, but as far as feet timing goes, there were some pretty severe phasing problems... I mean, beginning of Bohemian Rhapsody... wow... just wow... Good show, deserves more credit.... 10000% agreed.

How coincidental... Star gets second... again... :) ... as the scores unfolded, you had to have guessed that would happen...

As would any drum corps say on their own website... I"m sure the vet return rate is good, but probably not as hyped up as it is on the cavies website... same goes for every other drum corps. (in reference to the last comment)

Wow... close match everyone...

Game on: 1. Phantom Regiment... did you hear them last year??? 2. Blue Devils... after last year's fiasco, and with such a great show, and always incredible talent, you know they're out for blood this year. 3. Cavaliers... back to the dark, Bad ### cavalier that has gotten them far in the past. 4. Cadets... they'll be great... but the chances are that hitting the jackpot with another controversial show... meh... not so good. But they'll be good... always are. 5. Carolina Crown... surprise everyone... as long as they continue along the path they're traveling (and get their drumline in shape), at some point, there's no stopping them. 6. Santa Clara Vanguard... don't know why, but I'm calling a jump here... 7. Bluecoats... sounding great, looking great... however, somewhat uninnovative at times... we'll see what happens 8. Madison Scouts... great vet return, but a bad show design will keep them down... 9. Blue Knights... they'll be alright. 10. Boston Crusaders... again, entertaining, but mediocre. Hard workers tho... 11. Blue Stars... (shock!) just wait and see... they'll be better than you and I both are ready for... 12. Crossmen... after last year, just like BD, they're out for blood. Commence harrassment in three... two... one...

??? What does that mean?

Hehehehe
