It's definetly going to be a close year for sure... Here's my top 3 in no particular order (as I have not seen everyone's show) 1. Blue Devils 2. Carolina Crown 3. The Cadets I've yet to see the Cadets' show but I'm understanding that they're having a very good season. Crown and Blue Devils have been duking it out (despite people not liking their show)

I laughed more than I should have.

BD's opener is pretty freakin' awesome in my mind. Me being a fan of the original Rite of Spring and the original (re)Rite of Spring Jazz album, it's easily my favorite! Plus that Snare break during the eight note phrase? TOO AWESOME. Although Crown's rendition of the 2001: A Space Odessey fanfare is also INCREDIBLE.

Uhmm.. Actually I don't believe that there are "rankings" currently as there have not been performances where these corps have met as of yet. BDB hasn't had a show since last Monday so their last score is not a valid comparison point. They've been rehearsing since Thursday and they will continue into this week so it'll be interesting to see where they stand after their next show. SCVC technically is in 1st place as they have had shows this week and have (not suprisingly) gotten a higher score than BDB's last score. Gold hasn't really had much competition this past week so I think we will see where they stand when they meet up with SCVC, BDB, Spartans in the future. I also haven't seen Gold's show yet so I can't really say much at this point in time Spartans are doing well indeed but, like Gold, I haven't seen their show yet so I don't really have much of a comparison I can make with BDB's and SCVC's shows. There are definetly some inconsistencies with scores so I'm not sure as to the actual ranking of the groups thus far. All in all however, I definetly would not count BDB out of the pack. After seeing their show at Santa Clara, they definetly have a strong group coming through this year. SCVC is indeed a strong contender as is Spartans. However my prediction for the top 3 this year, (in no particular order), would be SCVC, BDB, and Spartans. That's just my two cents!

Blue Devils 2012. I remember at the Stanford show I felt a physical jolt from their first attack. God almighty. Let the hate begin.

Blue Devils B and C are both directed by Rick Odello so the values that C corps maintains, B corps holds up to as well. Other than battery and pit, there are no auditions. Colorguard and Hornline are walk-ons. Half of the hornline doesn't even play brass- a lot of them got cut from perussion so they went to hornline. So your justification, I'm afraid, is incorrect
