Hope you get a look from the front. There was a video out there from a Boston ST run through from Everett, MA. From out front and I am sure you'd have a very different take on the brass. I'm not sure where you are landing with your prediction though. You had BAC in 11th then 8th saying that would be a minimum placement. But you also said they'd be passed because everyone would be cleaning. So I am a bit confused at this point. Boston through the years, has been known for their finals push, especially last year when it looked like they were missing finals. Hope you audition for them next year. I expect it will be another good year, but also it may be harder to get a contract. For now, enjoy the show and wish them the best.

When it comes time to really clean, techs should be going to the side for a look. Usually everyone cleans from out front, but a look from the side is the telling tale of who is really marching well.

I for one don't miss corpsbands aggressive ignorance and all round jacka&&iness.

Well all the BAC supporters would certainly love that too.

This is so great to have shows at the start of the season and far into the season. You'll get an up close view of corps growth for the corps that return. I know Boston will be back. You should see a more dynamic and cleaner show by then. And who knows what more effects will be put in. Well we can guess at some.

Thank you George. Cadets need to keep an eye on the rear view. Something Wicked this way comes! ;-)

Wha? Huh?

Hey Boston, You have had an amazing off season and incredible ST. Wishing all the MM's, the Giants a kick a&& show tonite got. It is payoff time. Time to quiet the naysayers. EAT EM UP BOSTON. We don't Gava .

Maybe she used Bostons jet! LOL

The Giants are in Ohio baby.

To provide more of a difference between the number of Cadet pages and Boston pages; MOST of Bostons pages were in September when their staff changes shall we say were the hot topic of conversation! Previous year Boston had a little over 100 pages I think. Cadet pages for the most part are very passionate entries.

About predicting scores for this show; I wasn't comparing anything to anything. What I was getting at was that score predictions in the opening night thread average just under 71 for BD and under 70 for everyone else. Then in Indy, the predicted average was higher than anyone was expecting. This could be because of the corps in the show or possibly judges not being conservative with first show scores. Who knows. So enough with the "you can't compare scores" Sheesh. Not what I was asking about. Hope everyone is hydrated enough out there. Good luck to all.

I know many posters have submitted a score prediction. But based on last night in Indy, what adjustments would be made? I would believe BD & SCV over 70 for sure, possibly BD 73 & SCV 72?

Shows are complete in that all captions have stuff for the entire/full show. Some corps may not have everything included yet.

5 words each Bloo - not as innovative, but gooood Crown - Too Disneyesque in second half Cavies - Frenetic, confusing, but pretty cool Cadets - Manna from heaven, being 4th Blue Stars - Should have been 4th tonight Crossmen - missing a little drill oomph Just my opinion above. In theater tonight crossmen and cadets got polite applause. No one sure Blue Stars show was done. Cavies got a mixed reaction. Crown was a fave. Bloo was unquestionably the big fave. Comments heard: Bloo was great. Cadets got a gift. overall there is a lot of room to grow for all. Each so very different from the other.

My immediate thought when I saw Bluecoats

Do you mean the dad of a 21 year old adult woman ? Probably OK with it.

Bloo, Crown, Cavies,Blue Stars, Cadets, Crossmen. In that order. Cavies close to Crown

And we'll save this commentary for future reference too George. Maybe Saturday night will be one of those "upsets"?

About 50 and growing in a theater in Houston. Playing D.C. Now good volume hope it stays this loud

This is great. Thank you for doing this. It will be cool to see, as the season progresses and finishes, how these position change. If they do.

It's too bad no one here has the time to do an spreadsheet of the average scores of each shows predictions and see how scores are averaging along with placements. Might even get a preseason ranking via predictions. Obvious its Bluecoats and BD at the top. Then it's all over the place or so it seems after that. Cadets are bouncing around as is Crown and Boston is in the mix. This is making me antsy for the shows over the next few days.

Interesting; tiering in a 6 corps show, the first show of the season?

Yeah but at this point we add only a small percentage. Lol

At this rate this thread will hit 700 by the time the show starts tomorrow.
