PhantomCrown Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Last night when looking at the recaps, I mentioned to my wife that Nola Jones was judging color guard. Without seeing the scores (she was across the room), and not having seen a show this year, she said, "She gave it to BD." Have you not watched BD's guard this year?

newterak Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 A couple quick replies... "Can Phantom win?" Yes. If I was a in first place right now, regiment is the last corps I'd want to see in second place come finals week. "Are DCI judges biased?" Usually. but they're also diverse for/against many different groups so I like to think they just cancel each other out. "if BD brass comes on strong like they normally do. How many brass trophies do they own?" 21 After watching the dallas show (i know old news...) phantoms feet are the cleanest i've seen in years, the demand they have and simultaneous demands in general are executed at an extremely high level. I also think they may have the best jazz running technique i've seen so far this summer so props to them. At the time i saw their show I felt there were visual design issues that might hold scores back but didnt make it any less enjoyable... and i'm sure they've added significant show tweaks and fixes since dallas.

A BD age-out backing up Phantom... Whose side are you on!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Last night when looking at the recaps, I mentioned to my wife that Nola Jones was judging color guard. Without seeing the scores (she was across the room), and not having seen a show this year, she said, "She gave it to BD." As did Lee Carlson, Robert Soloman and William Chumley in the past week alone, including San Antonio. Gee, they must all be biased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megadrive Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Can Phantom win? Yes, and it brings me joy to be able to say that. Will they win? Probably not, but that won't make this any less of a fantastic show. My odds (appr.) are 65% BD win, 13% Phantom, 13% Cavies, and 9% Crown. And I like Crown's show a lot. Will this be one of my favorite Phantom shows of all time? Hell yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tsar Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I shook my Magic 8 Ball and it said, 'ask again later.' Seriously. Hmmmmm? Mine said "Go eff yourself." I think it is borked. (but my tea leaves said Regiment is going to finish 3rd this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washingtoncorpsfan Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I will say what I always say in threads like this: God, I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyle079 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) they won me, with BD being close, but i guess what i think in the long run means nothing oh scouts are actually 2nd, but theyre not really competing for the title right now Edited July 27, 2008 by doyle079 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
