  1. Ok. I'm sorry but I must make a comment. First, I thought everone performed well last night. I think the ks did an awesome job. But the did lack. I think there brass was amazing and should have been higher. Ver close to hurcs and cabs. Marching was also good but just because they move a lot does not mean they execute it on a high level. The do look great marching but Hurcs also move a lot on that field and we as spectators can't say one show moves more than the other because they both move. Ks color guard and percussion is in my opinion why they are not higher. The color guard was good but no where close to Hurcs. Sorry. The percussion was ok. Once again. Nothing that was a wow factor. Both sections performed well, bu I just believe that they didn't match up to Hurcs and Cabs. What will happen in rochester, who knows. Although deserving, I don't see DCA, having them jump 10+ points in a week. So all in all, I think ks deserved a much better score but I don't fully agree with putting them over Hurcs and maybe Cabs. Just my opinion.
  2. Its interesting. People keep talking about who hasn't beaten who yet this season. Have we forgotten what happened last year? Hurcs didnt lose to anyone other than Buccs all season until finals. I honestly dont think its anyone's game....except Buccs maybe. Its a dog fight. Everyone is in it to win it. They arent going for 2nd or 3rd. The top 5 I personally think is there. Where they end up? who knows. The past 2 years, placements 2 - 5 was never a sure thing and both years changed between prelims and finals. All of the groups have alot to clean up and have their eyes on the prize. Im just glad its a dog fight and not huge spreads at the top. You also have no idea what kid of curve ball Kidsgrove Scouts will add into the mix. So it will be interesting the rest of the season.
  3. Why so much about 1981? Lets look to the future. I cannot wait to see Hurcs come out this weekend. I love the Bridgeport show.
  4. Hey, Nothing from Connecticut? No announcements from Hurcs Yet? Whats up with that. There is usual something out by now?
  5. Its amazing How people can read this forum, and still continue to Say this or that about Hurcs. They DO NOT feel shafted. Disappointed in the placement, but not shafted. So, since they dont feel shafted, everyone else GET OVER IT. Also, no offense, I am sure Cru did a great job, but this is not a CRU topic. Its about time football season is back. I love baseball season, but its now time for Football. Im sorry for all of you Giants fans. That was luck last year. Yeah, they made some good plays. As much as I hate to say it, Look out for the Eagles. YEAH FOOTBALL.
  6. I am not saying that their opinion has no class, its how they said it and where they did. Most people have said that MBI was better than Hurcs and Maybe they were. But most people came on here with respect to the Hurcs and stated their opinion. The way this person did it was out of character of this entire thread in my opinion. Your correct about this being a message board and everyone's opinion should be respect just as the judges opinion should be. There is also a time and place for it and this thread, I feel wasnt the best place. Thats all.
  7. Dude, seriously? You have no class. You need to rethink when you post.
  8. Why are people putting words into hurcs mouth. I have yet to see them come here and say that they got screwed. They might be disappointed in their placement, but not screwed. The only thing I say is that if Empire deserved to beat Hurcs, they should have been placed alot closer to them in prelims. Its just hard to justify a drum corps going up almost 4 points in one night. So, basically what everyone is saying is the Judges on prelims night got it wrong. At the same time, everyone trusts what the judges say. When it goes the way they want, the judges are good and vice versa. Complete Contradiction. To all of the 14 corps that were at finals, Congrats. This year was a true dog fight to the finish. Nothing was written in stone. Even in finals, your place wasnt written in stone. The top 5 corps know this all too well from the past 2 years although this years finals placements are exactly the same as last years with close to the same spreads. It happens. One thing I can promise you, Hurcs, Cabs, Empire, and MBI will be going for that top spot and not just top 5. Good luck in the off season. I cannot wait to see show announcements. Is it time for Wildwood yet?
  9. What he is saying is that the way it is now, because Bush didnt come out of the gate with good numbers, there is no contest at all at finals. Everyone should go home, there isnt a show. Hurcs and MBI dont have a chance so dont bother. Only Bush had the chance. I dont agree with that, but thats what I get from this.
  10. And people continue. Its not like the hurricanes are coming on here and talking crap. leave it alone already. Hurcs and all other corps will do their talking on the competition field and not really care what anyone on this board has to say quite frankly. If they did, all of the corps except for Buccs would have thrown in the towel by now.
  11. Wow, Does someone always have to find something negative to say? And It seems that its a common thread. The Hurricanes. No matter what they do, Someone has the Hurricanes in the middle of some stupid mess. And now they are throwing Empire into the mix. At the beginning, people thought the guard was over hyped, now not a single word about them and they are still undefeated. Then the entire drum corps is over hyped. Nothing else from that. Then they had to find something else to cry over. So they said something about hurcs being disrespected by Bush. Now that Hurcs have essentially squashed everything everyone has said, someone has to find something else wrong like the rehearsal fields and the awards. And if thats not enough, they have to start on Empire because they couldnt find enough things to say about Hurcs. Give me a break. Cant you just Enjoy the season without stating some stupid controversy? Here is the kicker, 95% of the time, its by some no name person who doesnt post much, that says that they have x amount of years of experience. I respect the opinions of the people who are the long time posters and proven track records withing the drum corps activity. I dont have to agree, but I respect it. I feel sorry for what ever drum corps that the original "Im too good for empire" gets you. Your going in with the wrong mind set. Empire, Hurcs, and all others work their butts off to get to where they are now and dont really need people like that to make it seem like there season is anything less than what it is.
  12. Thats correct. Hurricanes just missed finals. They were a judged exhibition and got a higher score then the 10th place corps
