Is there nobody that thinks Fusion can be top three? I love their show this year.

yeah ... me neither. Even in a "down year" for them, they still blow me away and can't wait to see them this year!

They can say they're not folding all they want ... but you have to admit, it doesn't look good. Not many corps recover from something like this. I wish them well

What happened to scores??? I thought they said during intermision??

The choice I wanted to vote for wasn't even up there. My pick for the bottom 4 is: Fusion, Sabers, Bush then Excelsior

Speaking of corps that didn't make it out last year .... What's going on with the Sunrisers? Anybody know if the great Orange and Blue will make it to the field next season?

Cool Beans! I'm sure that very talented staff will do great things with this concept!

WOW!!! Can it REALLY be that long ago! Seems like just a few years ago, Bush won its very first show ... DCA FINALS!

Here comes Hurricane Earl --- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NOR should anyone underestimate Fusion Core. Either way, its gonna be a great Class A show!

Maybe its just me, but I have a feeling that Sayre is not too far off in his predictions. The only thing I'd change is a score or two. I think there's a good possibilty that at least one class A corps will score higher than at least one open class corps.

Is there any Class A corps, other than Fusion, Gold, Govies and Grennies that legitamately have a shot at making finals? And if so, which of those four would get knocked out? Thoughts?

Wow, Everyone keeps leaving out the class A corps!

Why should it matter even if it WAS insulting. Its just one dude's opinion. People need to be a bit less "thin-skinned"

OUTSTANDING review. My only question is, why would you think VIGILANTES would give them a run for the title? They were almost 8 points behind Fusion's score last weekend

I thought the purpose of class A was to allow the corps with fewer members to be competitive. What's the harm in allowing MORE of them to compete?

Instead of taking 11 open class corps, why not take MORE class A corps!!!! There are quite a few more "class As" than "Opens" and they only take FOUR??? Wuts up with THAT?

Does that mean that Fusion holds the record for the highest REGULAR SEASON score? (not counting prelims and finals?)

Open Class: 01 (01) - 93.400 - Buccaneers 02 (02) - 93.225- Minnesota Brass 03 (04) - 92.300- Hurricanes 04 (03) - 91.638- Empire Statesmen 05 (05) - 90.863- Caballeros 06 (07) - 86.675 - Bushwackers 07 (06) - 84.188- Alliance 08 (09) - 83.636- Kilties 09 (08) - 83.100- CorpsVets 10 (10) - 74.875- Renegades Class A: 01 (02) - 83.050- Fusion Core 02 (01) - 81.063- Govenaires 03 (03) - 78.213- Carolina Gold 04 (04) - 77.938- Sun Devils 05 (05) - 77.400- Grenadiers 06 (06) - 74.900- Vigilantes 07 (07) - 71.238- White Sabers 08 (08) - 67.000- SoCal Dream 09 (11) - 65.750- High Country Brass 10 (09) - 64.550- Cincinnati Tradition 11 (10) - 64.413- Shenandoah Sound 12 (12) - 61.400- Excelsior

South St. Paul, MN - 08/22/2010 August 22nd, 2010 1. Minnesota Brass, Inc. 93.225 2. Kilties 83.363 3. Govenaires 81.063 4. Vigilantes 74.900 5. High Country Brass 65.750

FYI- that's Fusion Core's score from this afternoon's show, not last night.

WOW!!!! Fusion Core at an 83.050!!! THAT'S A HUGE NUMBER for class A with two more weeks to go. Hurry up and give us the scores from the Midwest show today!!!

Looks to me like the Govies aren't just sitting back watching Fusion Core walk away with it. Should make Rochester very exciting.

That's what SHE said!

Here's to hoping that Vigilantes have enough members to compete. Seems crazy that their first competition of the season is 3 wks before DCA. Good Luck Vigs
