    Yes.  I watched there preview show as well as Crown's and Bostons (music in the park) show and I still predict 4th.  I am giving Bloo the benefit of the doubt as they usually start really strong.  Honestly, who knows how any of them will place as it should be a fun season as all of them having been working hard for this moment.

    Fair enough.

    Cavaliers had a great run tonight. They've really tightened everything up and are firing on all cylinders. Crowd ate it up. Earlier in the season the hornline was a weak point but they're sounding much cleaner. Guard still has some breaks which they will need to eliminate if they want to challenge for best guard.

    Now, don't hate me, but here's a bad thing. The micing of the full corps is not good. This is the 4th time I've seen them live and it's never been this noticeable, but tonight it was far too loud. The sound coming out of the speakers was harsh and piercing at times and impossible to  balance, since whichever voices happened to be closest came out loudest. Maybe it was because of my seat location but I found it very unpleasant and detracted from both the horn sound and the overall show. Sorry, not hating, just recounting my experience.

    Still, Cavies win with a huge score!

    I don't believe they are micing the corps. Maybe this was unintentional? I've seen them twice and not once did I hear the corps through the speakers. Regiment on the other hand, very noticeable.

     Like almost every season, by the time early August rolls around ( less than 4 weeks from now ), they'll be a winnowing down from 5 or 6 Corps that could win it all, to just 2.. perhaps as many as 3, but no more than 3.  SCV wants to be in that  mix of 3, as that positions SCV to secure a medal at least, something that SCV has not done in a dozen years ( since 2004 ). I think by early August that SCV will be in that 3. They have the show design, sectional strength across the board, terrific caption heads, fab drill by Gaines, sufficient creativity, demand, and marcher talent to be one of those 3, imo. But... we'll see.

    Gaines does not write SCV's drill.

    It's pretty standard Gaines drill, which a very small amount of people seem to not care for...

    They cover all of the field, but they don't need to do it all of the time.

    I think it's a personal taste thing.

    I feel that SCV has been a little underscored head to head with BD. SCV does more visually, and it is more coordinated, and they do it just as well as BD.

    BD is going to be adding more and more, but they're a visual "?" for me, and this is the least talented guard I've seen from BD in a decade.

     

    If I'm not mistaken, Gaines is not SCV's drill writer. He holds the role of Creative Director. Weber is their drill writer. Unless you mean it's written in the style of Gaines?
