There are a few what the ??? in the recaps....... very surprised at the big gap in the percussion scores...... will be interesting to see what happens in Indy.... but another year where there is no "movement" in TN.....so no big surprises at least for me....still think Blue Devils could end up 5-6th this year

okay just a few hours until show time time to say it.... YOWZA YOWZA YOWZA will tonight/weekend be one that makes Blue Devils say Ouchza Ouchza as corps pass them.... YOWZA YOWZA YOWZA with the Bluecoats make us go WOWZA or UMMZA YOWZA YOWZA YOWZA will Phanton Make Cadets Go Whatza? YOWZA YOWZA YOWZA Will Madison & Carmen Be OMYGDZA or FLATZA

after listening to a internet station that plays soundtracks I've decided the Troopers have to play the music from Chicken Run next year....just would be a great fit for them some great tempos and just seems to have that "trooper" feel to the music....

I think that BD might fall to 4th tonight or tomorrow nite......Phantom seems on a roll

Will also be interesting to see if the jump the corps that went to LA got hold and if the Scouts, Regiment and Bluecoats get a bump up to keep the spread where it was

2 Days To Spit and Polish and hopefully CLEAN......What will be the outcome of the big 3 shows for Bluecoats starting tomorrow..... I'd say with the practice one trait I'm sure of is that Doug is going to have the line fulling opening up the sound this weekend for the push to DCI..... Percussion should be hot to watch in all 3 shows.......

In Looking at the Recaps from Enid and Broken Arrow the Bluecoats scored 25.55 each night but interesting how the numbers shifted in Performance/Visual/Guard I just wonder what the odds would be to end up with the same score but with such huge changes in some captions...(like down .8 and .4 in performand and visual from enid but up 1.2 in guard) Broken Arrow 8.20 8.00 16.20 8.80 8.50 17.30 8.90 8.70 17.60 25.55 Enid 8.60 8.40 17.00 8.80 8.90 17.70 8.30 8.10 16.40 25.55

A Bot will provide the name info and use thousands of email addresses and keep clearing out the cache and voting over and over and the only way you really see things is that you'll get a huge spike in votes.. Now DCI's decision to cancel the vote is good but they never tell us the number of votes people get anyhow.....there are tons of polling software out that they could use that record IP addresses etc..... Last Rant....So they were getting bad results don't scrap everything...instead of repeating the order why not draw straws at the stadium the morning of the show and have that at least determine a random order

:( I'm starting to think Bluecoats might be in the same boat SCV was in 03 with their parthways show....incredible drill and field coverage just never could get it clean..... On the Plus side they have 5 days to clean between their last show and DCI perfromances......think if they could just clean the visual by Friday they could jump into box 5 and push the score up.....and TN has been the site of some amazing performances by Blue

Listened to SCV and my feelings the same as when I saw them in person.....good moments but RCM I just find myself thinking isn't it over yet........

Try using the Firefox browser.....I seem to have better luck with that than IE......

Season Pass gets you to hear streams of all (but blues I guess) show tonight for free.....

So see that DCI already posted that Blue's APD won't be available due to licensing issues.....any Idea what part of the show is the issue? <**>

Just noticed that DCI is using the two Percussion Judges for San Antonio.... Any corps you think this will help or corps this will hurt.......

1 Santa Clara Vanguard 83.900 2 Blue Knights 83.750 3 Glassmen 82.950 4 Spirit from JSU 82.550 5 Crossmen 80.250 6 Colts 79.675 7 Mandarins 76.950 8 Seattle Cascades 75.675 9 Southwind 75.075 10 Capital Regiment 74.475 11 The Magic 72.950 12 Esperanza 72.275 13 Troopers 69.825 14 Kiwanis Kavaliers 65.250

it's 4:43 where are the scores.....:)

well SCV better hope that the judges weren't judging from overhead.... exposed the reason they are down this year

I Think Blue Devils are vulnerable tonight....I think madison, bluecoats or Phantom Could surprise them....tales in the captions.... other thing working against BD is having to follow the 3 chasing them might cause the judges to really evaluate the "downtime" that BD has in their show

:) Days like this are cool that I'm on the West Coast.....Drum Corps starts at 10 AM on the seasons pass......

With all the TX kids that are in Bluecoats could be like a home show for them to....certain they will be having lots of family around....good give them that emotional boost to surprise a few corps

Great job by Bluecoats tonight..... inching closer and closer...... Down side is that SCV fans are hit hard with the reality of this years corps.... Having seen SCV they have talent, they put on a good show but they don't have the "IT" factor just something about the performance etc....just is lacking somewhere....if the trend continues and they are passed by more corps I will say this will be one of the best shows to finish so low....but right now they are getting what they are performing

Blue took drums also!

1 Blue Devils 88.900 2 Bluecoats 87.400 3 Carolina Crown 84.650 4 Santa Clara Vanguard 82.800 5 Blue Knights 82.650 6 Glassmen 81.900 7 Colts 77.850 8 Southwind 74.950 9 Capital Regiment 74.900

If they are as they have been almost 5-7 down from BD and BC then following them could push them down farther because by the time they perform the judges have capped the other corps and know the top and bottom.....
