Can’t wait to go! Never been to a show so early in the season, other than when I marched. I’m mostly excited to see if SCV can maintain the top spot opening up from last year. It’s always hard for a corps to do this that isn’t BD 😬 My Prediction: 1st - SCV: GE and percussion will be on top. 2nd - BD: Brass and guard will be on point. 3rd - Cavies: Best show concept since 2016’s “Propaganda”. 4th - Mandarins: Another strong, potential top 12 show. 5th - Academy: Showing improvement from last season out the gate. 6th - Troopers 7th- SCVC 8th- BDB 9th- Golden Empire 10th- BDC We’ll see how it all plays out, it’ll be interesting to see what actually ends up happening Friday night! -
I see where you're coming from, this may be true, but in my experience there is not much if any choreography that compares to playing sustained phrases and marching a 4 to 5.

Because they are still doing well in all captions. Even weak visual for BD is relatively strong.

Humid and Sticky Houston

Looking forward to my first show since marching last season. Flying back to Houston tonight. I can't wait! -
1st: SCV - All they need to do is clean, clean, clean and I truly believe they will get the gold! 2nd: BD - Easily weakest visual content I've seen from BD in recent years. 3rd: Crown - With solid brass and improved percussion, this corps can do incredible things even with a mediocre design. 4th: Bluecoats - Tilt 4.0. Well rounded corps. I just believe crown performs better with what they have. 5th: Cavies - Another solid and fun show from the green machine. 6th: BAC - Wow, such an improvement, they really sound more like the Cadets than the cadets themselves this year! 7th: Cadets - Oh George... 8th: BK - dare I say TOO esoteric? 9th: Phantom - Honestly have not gotten a good read yet but I have heard that their brassline is weaker. 10th: Blue Stars - A very nicely executed BOA show. 11th: Crossmen - Sorry... 12th: Mandarins - Will there be a new trend of a first time finalist corps claiming a finals spot every year? 13th: Madison 14th: Colts 15th: Academy 16th: BDB 17th: Troopers 18th: Spirit 19th: SCVC 20th: Genesis 21st: Pacific Crest 22nd: OC 23rd: Cascades 24th: Music City 25th: Legends

im betting the pants are black. Just because they are not gonna have cream pants doesn't mean they will be neon.
-
Hop said they were getting new shoes so I'd bet the pants are not going to be cream.
-
Does anybody think that Crown still has a trick up their sleeve design wise, or are they just gonna clean until finals?
-
DM me if you want to know the exact details, holy cow, I had no idea this would happen, but it all makes sense now.

Is the very top row 50 yard line too high up in this stadium? Or is it good? It's my first time seeing a live show in Houston.- 316 replies

You bring up a good point, Yogitom, though I'm afraid the GE will go down. They are really missing something in their show and I'm afraid taking out this really cool effect their scores will only suffer because of it. We'll see if they do take it out for good, though I hope not. JoshClements403 brings up a good point, there's really no point in taking it out permanently if it is going to work fine in Indy, San Antonio, & Atlanta.

Wait... They didn't use the Black Banner? Was it windy or something? I'm seeing Crown this Friday and I'd really be bummed if they don't use the banner.

Does anyone have an Idea of about when Crown will put on their redone ending? (not the slightly different ending they put on recently).
