Haha I did not mean for it to come across that way. Of course, I care whether or not the show is actually good and entertaining. I meant I don't care what their theme is....you know how people love to snowball ideas. They should do a "blah blah" show. I do think them pushing for a medal is important though. The Green Machine needs to find it's place back at the top of the drum corps world. Again, I apologize for coming across as "winning is all that matters". I truly meant it as I don't care what the theme of the show is, not the actual production itself.

I'm honestly just hoping that they can find a way to keep pushing forward, in terms of placement. I have no "wish list" for the show other than it provides the organization with a chance at a medal.

Where my Cavaliers fans at? I had to message someone to find this thread lol Any show predictions?

What's funny is "Out of This World" was one of my favorite shows, musically in 2014. I even got to go see Crown practice at a local high school that year :)

Honestly, Guard. But, all of them will hurt.

Crown went from 1st to 5th (2013-2014) It can happen. No body knows what is going to happen this year. The only consistent for me is the Blue Devils. Everyone else is questionable. "Can the Bluecoats top last year? Can Santa Clara finally regain control? Can the Cadets be the Cadets? Will the Cavaliers build even further? etc."...No body is concerned about the Blue Devils being the Blue Devils though lol

I would say no further than 7th. Crown is still Crown. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they remain in the top 5, but I don't think they are a threat to win it this year by any means considering that staff shakeup. I really hope that The Cadets step it up this year and get a medal (unrelated).

Nope. I honestly thought they should've won last year. I just have a feeling they are going to fall this year.

So my top 5 in no particular order is Blue Devils, Blue Coats, Cadets, Cavaliers, and Santa Clara.

I'm late to the party. I don't really feel like predicting exact placements because everyone gets so offended by a few positions they don't agree with, but I will say I expect Crown to fall out of the top 5 and the Cavaliers to remain in the top 5 as well as the Cadets to re-enter the top 5.

You know what? I hope the Cavaliers find themselves wearing a medal by the end of next year :) :) :) BTW : Cadets are coming to Little Rock next summer, I'm excited. Also, Phantom is coming and I have never gotten to see them live.

It's not that great of a show, but 2013 Cavaliers - Secret Society, it was my first DCI show that I had seen live and it made me fall in love with the activity. Looking back on it now, I can see it for what it is, a 7th place show, but it will always hold that little sparkle in my heart lol

Really happy for the design staff coming back, good for the Cavies. Top 3, here we come.

Everyone is a critic nowadays. A lot of people also think every single word they type is 100% fact and refuse to believe other wise. A bunch of bigots.

I really did love Academy this year, but that's the thing "this year". They don't get to keep the score from this year, they will have to entertain me once more before I start putting them in my top 12 every year.

I try and be a little original with my prediction..instead of rehearsing the top 12 from this past season. 1. Carolina Crown 2. Blue Devils 3. Santa Clara Vanguard 4. Cavaliers 5. Bloo 6. Cadets 7. Blue Knights 8. Blue Stars ( really really liked their drill this past year) 9. Crossmen (Moving up!) 10. Phantom 11. Boston 12. Madison scouts or Troopers

Couldn't agree more. I was literally shocked at their placement

I really like it man!

I edited it, I meant to put Phantom 8th

1. Blue Devils 2. Carolina Crown 3. Cavaliers 4. Bluecoats 5. Cadets 6. Santa Clara 7. Blue Knights 8. Boston 9. Blue Stars 10. Crossmen 11. Boston 12. Madison Before anyone freaks out...realize this is just a prediction thread and I consider this my "Bold" predictions, meaning it's a longshot but if it happens I will look like a genius lol jk......I know realistically a lot of these don't make sense but as I have already stated...it's just a prediction.

Neither have I...My band director encouraged us to audition for dci. I actually had 2 friends on Crossmen in 2014 from my high school band

I'm going to go with Crossmen as my final answer. They are in Texas, a hot bed of talent. They draw in great recruits, they have been putting on great shows, and they have a lot of momentum going into the next few years after finishing 10th this year (I believe, could be wrong about being in 10th)

Bluecoats - another concept show, I really can't see them doing a serious show, obviously they have the talent to do whatever type of show they want, but their design team has struck gold with these concept shows like "Tilt" and "Downside up" So, probably something along the lines of "The Bloo Man" showcasing their color guard men, have one color guard member dressed in solid Blue and then all the men in the color guard by the end of the show are in a Bloo army.....IDK lol as long as they showcase they insane drumline, I will be fine. and they bring back the old uniforms!!!! Cavaliers - I'm hoping for a dark show, they seem to work really well...Mad world, Secret Society, Immortal, Propaganda, even Xtraordinary felt kind of mysterious in a way....I could see them doing a show about War, I know Madison Scouts did something similar in 13' if I'm correct so I don't know if they would do war actually....I'm really curious to see what this design team comes up with I honestly can't think of any shows, I'm just so pumped to see what everyone comes out with next year

To each his own!
