LOL, it did look small right?? Phenomenal job tonight Cadets. For a first performance I thought it was very good. I have comments on the show and will save them for another day!! Good and Bad. It was very surreal to hear Ballet Sacra performed by another version of the Cadets. Made me teary eyed!!

So going out to a housing site and watching practice...

At this point what could be done that would make everyone lose their ####? Typical hype....

Love Crown, I am just teasing about the T-Rex, although come on its not much of a stretch. They are just usually not quite as literal about theme as they seem this year.

Oh come on....people running around in those T-Rex costumes you see in Memes would be awesome!!

I love you!

The talent level between BAC and Cadets switched last year with the staff changes... Cadets are now mostly Cadets 2 kids that move up vs. members looking to march in a Championship contender from other corps. Just my impression.

I don't see Cadets in the top 6 simply because of the continued strength of last years top 6. I think they are doing a great job with the situation they find themselves in, the reality is just that last years top six are all well rounded. I think Cadets will struggle visually. Hoping I am wrong, but I think it would be a major surprise if Cadets place in the top 6 this year. I see a fairly large gap between the top 6 and the rest of the corps.

I agree Brass and Drums are great.....hoping I am wrong about the guard/visual from the angle of the video.

Ballet Sacra.....how have you seen it?

The top six corps are all strong and well rounded. It will be really tough, but hey they are Cadets, we were always the underdogs even when we won. They just need to do what the Cadets do, and they could surprise me! I would very much like them to surprise me. Regardless a huge shadow has been lifted and a new exciting path started!

To be positive, Brass soooo much better than last year already!

I am very proud that Cadets have weathered the storm and seem to be doing well. I will say.......the guard is weak.

My initial impression - Inferno Part II

Its a costume. I am fine with costumes in DCI, its where we are now. Just call it what it is.

I guess not, to me the term "Beast" has always connoted a very large hairy animal, but hey why not interpret Godzilla to be a beast in a way. The head gear should spring loose to be a tongue. There is just a lot going on with it, and to me it is not very "Crown" Which I think of as a classic sophistication look.

Calling that a shako is very generous

I guess I feel its more reptile than beast....not getting the tie in there.

Have you guys seen the Crown uniform.......I saw a pic and um.......interesting.

Have you seen anything from Bloo? Do you really think Cadets could be top 6?

I am sticking with my earlier predictions: Title Contenders BD, SCV Medal Contenders Crown, Boston, Bloo, Cavaliers 7-10 Blue Knights, Phantom, Cadets, Blue Stars 11-12 Madison, Academy, Mandarins

Nothing Boston does or accomplishes this year should come as a surprise to anyone.. It is a product of getting the right people together to attract better talent and bring the most out in that talent. I don't think any of it is a surprise. The surprise occurred in August of 2016!

Sorry 1989 wins this!

Allentown does now, not so much back then before the renovation and widening of the track...

My guess is we will see the following clusters: Title Contenders BD, SCV Medal Contenders Crown, Boston, Bloo, Cavaliers 7-10 Blue Knights, Phantom, Cadets, Blue Stars 11-12 Madison, Academy, Mandarins
