Why'd you have to give the Mandarins the Asian foreign film? 😒😂😂😂

Your first three bullets... 🔥🔥🔥 No opinion on '87 SCV losing to Garfield's perfect percussion?

My predictions... And if you don't like them, I don't care. 😂 It's just an opinion, so calm down in advance. 😁 1. BD - Classic BD with another superior overall package. 2. Carolina Crown - Another amazing brass book, guard is also solid, and the show is just fun and feels like a party! They could overtake BD. 3. Bluecoats - Solid but just can't get into the show. Way too much narration that really doesn't add to the progression of the show like I would want (See Cadets). 4. SCV - So many great moments but they are struggling a little putting it all together. Love the ballad, but they really need to work on that closer. 5. Boston - They are clean and do everything really well right now, but I feel like it's disjointed and lacks content/demand. They could get into 3rd or 4th tho. 6. The Cadets - Another show with A LOT of narration, but I feel like their narration complements the show really well. And I get the old school Cadets feels when I watch them, which is awesome. 7. Mandarins - Aggressive, fun and innovative. I know a lot of people did not like the vocals in the beginning, but he seems to be improving with every show and I think he'll convert people by August. 8. Cavies - I really like their show early on, but I worry their Covid issues might have stunted their growth a bit. Only time will tell. 9. Phantom - Like the Cadets, I am getting the old school Phantom feels again this season. Solid show that could've put them higher in other years, but I just think everyone is just so strong this year. 10. Blue Stars - I haven't really cared for BS recently and just can't get into this show. They do everything consistently well, but I just don't see them finishing as high as previous years. 11. Crossmen - They are improving show after show and they should be there Saturday night. 12. Colts - Because I need this underdog to make it. They're small this year but have a great sound and are performing well. They could fight BK and Crossmen in August, but we'll see if their size and lack of content/demand hurts them later. 13. Blue Knights - they will likely be the 11th or 12th place corps on Saturday, but this is probably the slowest I've ever seen them out of the gate. They have always found a way to put it together in August, so we'll have to wait and see.

Well, first tell us what your opinion is and then we'll let you know if it's objective or not. 😂

Yes, you got me...unbiased opinion. Don't report me.

Maybe... You got something against kettle corn. 😂

Too many biased opinions on these threads. My objective opinion... YES, OPINION... is BD and Crown are the top 2. Bluecoats and Boston just don't have the content to compete for the gold medal this year. For BD and Crown,I think either can win any caption on any given night, except maybe Crown has the brass edge and BD percussion. We should all just be proud of these "kids" and thankful and excited that we have competitive drum corps again and the top 10 or 11 corps are all putting out some kick a-- shows. Now CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?!?!?!

Got my popcorn ready. 😂

Every corps is dealing with this. Cavies haven't been able to compete for a week, SCV had instructors pushing props in Sacramento and Stanford, Mandarins had 8 members standing on the sideline last night. It's an ongoing battle with every corps and I just hope no one has to experience it in Indy.

It's actually 2.55 now. 😉

Crown and Boston fans shedding all kinds of blue tears tonight. So much hate over there on the East Coast. 😂

Holy $#@&!!! BD nailed the doo doo out of that show!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yeah, not sure how he couldn't go buy a white SCV shirt at the concessions stand. 😂

Same with Sac show. I think they have instructional staff moving some of the props like Friday since penalties aren't being enforced right now. See dude in red shirt... 😂

Just keep in mind when they replayed Fresno, they cut the video just as BD was stepping onto the field. Thanks, Flo... You're the best. 🤦‍♂️

With the obvious struggles the Open Class division is experiencing with recruitment and all this year, I'm glad BDB and SCVC are going back to Indy this year. Should be an exciting championships week for Open Class.

We get to experience a pigeon's pov.

Storms coming so they want to make sure Crown and BAC can at least perform tonight. It's too bad.

I can see this show challenging for that 6th spot. They're looking really good right now.

Ok... I'm loving The Cadets this year! I am getting the 90s vibe from them again. Great show!

Looks like "West Coast Inflation" packed up and moved East. 😂

Yup, nothing like cutting the video right as BD is about to enter the field. 🤦‍♂️

They did, which is why I'm not sure how the guy put them in 12th in his prediction. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mandarins in 12th below Crossmen and Colts... 😲

Yokohama Inspires import. She's a bad ###!!
