BozzlyB Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'll go out on a limb and make a prediction...1. BD 2. Cavies 3. Crown 4. Phantom 5. Cadets 6. SCV 7. Coats 8. Boston 9. BK 10. Blue Stars 11. Glassmen 12. Crossmen or PC ***Disclaimer: Any opinions expressed are my own and not those of the Austin Stars Performing Arts Association or any of it's ensembles.*** I think those predictions are pretty close to realistic. There is a possibility of Blue Stars over BK but tough to predict as they haven't been head to head for several shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I think those predictions are pretty close to realistic. There is a possibility of Blue Stars over BK but tough to predict as they haven't been head to head for several shows. Just from watching trends, and not those "latest score" standings, I think there's actually a greater chance of BK over Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumpetcam Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Based on what i have seen so far and also on the judging panel for saturday evening (makes a big difference..), here are my predictions: 1. BD - Seems to be on a roll and gaining steam 2. Cadets- Also rolling, could catch Devs 3. Cavaliers- Not nearly the demand of the first two, but performing at a very high level and a cool show 4. Crown- A toss up with PR. Their guard and visual scores may put them barely up on Regiment, for now.. 5. PR - Starting to gain steam, but its still a little early and more visual cleaning needs to happen. Can see them in a fight for the trophy at end. 6.Bluecoats- Performing well and trying to turn this show back into a top 5 program 7. SCV- Just a notch back with a harder show. May still catch Coats in the end 8. Boston - Great design, high level of performance 9. BK- Show changes are working well, they do what they usually do this time of year: start to really perform 10.GMen- Will finally overtake Blue Stars, but barely... 11. Blue Stars -Best corps in years, could see tham as high as 9th of they can keep rolling and tweaking the show 12. Crossmen- I think they take the 12th spot at home for now and end up in a dogfight for the last spot with Scouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmmerMP Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 OK... MY TWO CENTS.... THE BLUE STARS ARE HAVING THEIR BEST YEAR IN WORLD CLASS SINCE 1979 !!!!!!!! THEY HAVE MOMENTUM AND THE CROWD ON THEIR SIDE... THEY HAVE A STATMENT TO MAKE... I THINK THE WORD CINDERELLA IS APPLICABLE HERE, AND I PREDICT BLUE STARS OVER BLUE KNIGHTS, WITH BOTH CORPS BREATHING ON BAC BACK !!! FCO !!!!
