1st - Carolina Crown
Coming off a winning season, Crown will not stop the momentum that they had last year, this could be a new era or they could pull a Phantom 2009, I hop it's the first one.
2nd - Blue Devils
Blue Devils will do well because they are the Blue Devils, I know it's hard to say but they will probably always do well.
3rd - Santa Clara Vanguard
Les Mis was a solid show and I don't think they want to stop the vibe that came from last year. Also SCV and Scheherazade do very well together.
4th - Bluecoats
With such a powerful tune like the Hymn of Axciom, I doubt that they would let that opportunity go wasted. It was a hard choice between Coats and Cadets though.
5th - Cadets
The Cadets have a long history of performing amazing shows, but this one doesn't look particularly exciting to me.
6th - Phantom Regiment
Phantom are doing another beheading show, which I think is starting to get just a tad boring...
7th - Boston Crusaders
Boston are on the rise (see what I did there) and within the decade they will have clinched a top 3 spot. Amazing show last year. Their shows are underrated but I think people are going to start seeing how good they are.
8th - Blue Knights
The Blue Knights are tired of coming in 10th place, coming off quite a good season last year they are hungry for that 90.00er show. Also they need to beat the Cavaliers to have that huge boost of confidence.
9th - Cavaliers
Not really impressed with the Cavaliers as of recent. Their show doesn't strike me as anything special.
10th - Madison Scouts
Madison scouts don't really appeal to me anymore, they had good shows, but recently they have let me down.
11th - Blue Stars
Big year for the Blue Stars, impressed last year.
12th- Spirit of Atlanta
I'm liking SOA, Magnolia sounds cool and exciting but I don't think it will be enough to beat out the Blue Stars.
