Rat Pack This Year?

Were are they going? What should we expect? Do they want to push towards the top 12? General Discussion Open.

Folding because of financial problems, or staff problems?

1-Santa Clara Vanguard 2-Carolina Crown 3-Cavaliers 4-Cadets 5-Blue Devils 6-Bluecoats 7-Madison Scouts 8-Blue Stars 9-Phantom Regiment 10-Boston Crusaders 11-Blue Knights 12-Glassmen I'm thinking Vanguard take gold because the last time Paul Rennick and J.D. Shaw worked together, they won. 2008, right? Blue Stars will push this year after their drop to 11. Phantom will drop from loosing Shaw. And Glassmen slide into 12, passing Spirit Allentown weekend. But who knows, maybe XMEN clean well late season and pass them both up.

I don't understand the correction?

I Think the top 8 should be The Cadets Blue Devils Cavaliers Carolina Crown Phantom Regiment Madison Scouts Blue Coats Blue Stars My reasoning in not including Santa Clara Vanguard is that they rarely get the crowd on their feet. The Blue Stars and the Madison Scouts are most definitely more Exciting. To me, "Elite" is not just a Prestigious word. Its more explaining excitement, Precision, Finesse, Power, and the crowd factor. If DCI wants to make more money then just Sponsorship Dollars and the 50,000+ ticket sales, with this Tour of Champions idea, then They need to put out an exciting product.. not just a boring marching band (it's a marching band from an average joe's perspective)

Yes! Missouri really does need one. As well as New York, i think. Maybe. Well, Because there isn't really any corps northeast US, right? just Carolina Crown, Jersey Surf, and Teal Sound, more east and southeast. Maybe i'm mistaking.

Personaly I stronly dislike the show. I think the fact that the Brass doesnt play a not untill almost 3 minutes in is rediculous. I think that the fact that they play over the actual tracks instead of aranging the tracks into music is silly. I dont think the Battery sounds good, nor does their part sound like it goes with the music. Changing between songs is sounds like a jumbled up mess. Its just an overall bad arangment.

There's still a long season ahead.. Don't underestimate them.. But i hope they don't come back, and I also hope they don't continue their ways of winning next year.. I hope someone passes up the Cavies too. Long season to come..
