The tarps from 2011 were awesome... I'm hoping these tarps are a bad joke. Ick.

the tarps look photoshop into the image / looks like a joke -- yes the left one looks like Oprah who I'm pretty sure isn't making an appearance in the Cadet program lol

Clearly those MS scores were 2 points inflated so clearly BD & Cadets are now tied. lol

Hahahaha. And I was just kidding. That's crazy!

Agreed. Advantage SCV - just clean clean clean. Coats & Crown both need more changes. I'd say 3rd will be SCV's unless something changes soon...

uh no. Epic miss.

yup - they are cleaning up nicely and that drum line will challenge and/or win the caption

And SCV based on the trends... looking more and more like BD's year with only Cadets in position to really challenge

you might have an actual point if a similar GE gap hadn't existed in the midwest and the eastern shows... and the "dialect" in your post is frankly a little offensive

2012 they had cream pants - 2013 they had purple pants and a much easier drill made all the difference in the world only section I thought was "improved" was the guard - the rest was packaging IMO

good score, gap seems about right as things stand

the GE spread is massive, so I think you are correct!

Coats take drums, Crown takes brass, Cadets sweep everything else That 2 point lead is starting to look big...

I feel like everyone left the stadium, the lights are out and they forgot to tell us the scores..

I'd say within 10 minutes - Cadets have been done for about 20

ehhh... it all comes down to energy with their program this year - it can lay there like a log or it can really connect. I've seen Cadets 3 times live, 2x it sold well as the corps really energized the crowd and one time it fell very flat it's not one of those automatic "baby-throwing" shows that's for sure. Even the last 2 FN recordings bear this out - SAT was FLAT but the one prior was very energetic and well-received

my buddy who is there said the Cadets just had their "best run of the season" - he's been following the corps for the past couple weeks each night...

I'm thinking they will fall back to earth in ATL -- judges will get a talking to prior lol

yeah - just subtract off 2 points hahaha for comparison shake.... looks like 2.5 bump on average. So that has BD at 92.25 which is "mehhh"

yup - that is from about an hour ago

absolutely awesome!!!

that famous MS score inflation at play again!

well all those scores bumped up like 2 points from prior - so maybe the panel got a little carried away lol
