Thats gotta be the closest to The Cavaliers that the Troopers have been in modern history

I have them around 13-15 right now but I HOPE to be proved wrong- the video had a very obstructed view of the field so the visual package I didnt get the best read on but it appears to have lots of demand and wow moments. The hornline is what makes them the biggest wild card for me of the entire summer. There is some dirt, some stick outs, and some rough spots but you can tell Michael Martin is in front of them as they are putting out some serious sound. Give them a few weeks, I think this hornline will be meaningfully competitive with anyone below the top 7. Again, this is the biggest wild card of really any corps for me right now. I am very excited for july 8th.

I made that username in 2013 haha... and quite honestly I have no idea where to place them right now

1: Blue Devils 2: Boston Crusaders 3: Bluecoats 4: Carolina Crown 5: The Cadets 6: Phantom Regiment 7: Blue Stars 8: Mandarins 9: The Cavaliers (I could see this show surging throughout, consider them 6-9) 10: Troopers 11: Blue Knights (wild guess) 12: Colts 13: Crossmen (wild guess) 14: Spirit of Atlanta (wild card, hornline sounds incredible, visual design is lacking) 15: The Academy 16: Pacific Crest

I saw a video of Spirit of Atlanta's preview show and I have to say I was very very VERY impressed with their hornline. Their visual design and execution seems a bit off for me to consider them as a potential finalist, but hot #### are they putting out some SOUND.

This show seems to be a recipe for rapid improvement and surging in scores throughout the season.

Very strong showing from Colt Cadets. Likely their strongest group in corps history. I remember only a few years back when this group didn't play much other than quarter and half notes at very subdued tempo. Kids should be very proud.

Being completely honest, Spartans show moved me a bit tonight. That ballad.

Crossmen 91 BK 15 Phantom 07, 19 Troop 13 Glassmen 01 Crown 05

I could be wrong but I think they were referring to the fact that Surf wrote a show for the numbers they had, not the numbers they wanted. The past few years they have been marching with tons of holes all season.

Cant wait to see Surf and Phantom tonight, two of the biggest "stories" of the early season, with Jerseys high opening score and Phantoms rapid improvement! Regardless, good luck to all corps competing!

Thoughts of seeing this corps advance to semis this season?

I haven't heard anything about the cascades 2014 program. Have they really not announced it yet or am I just behind?
