roosevelt Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I'm sorry but enough with the whinning about Troopers...every year it is another corps fans complaining about this or that. He is not whining about the scores. He is talking about the way they decide performance order. It makes a difference. I saw you on a different thread (see below) complaining about PC's performance time for San Antonio.... what makes that any different? QUOTE (alarson83 @ Jul 13 2008, 09:41 AM)Maybe its because PC wasnt in competition with any div1 corps in long beach? Maybe, maybe and if so what a shame for them to miss out on a better slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodigal bari Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I'm sorry but enough with the whinning about Troopers...every year it is another corps fans complaining about this or that. So I guess it is not whining when YOU complain about PC's placement???? You just got caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barigirl78 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 If you compare the results from Atlanta with the results from the Rose Bowl here's how it shakes out based on placing: --------------------Last Year------Atlanta------Difference Blue Stars-----------14--------------9------------- +5 Crossmen-----------16--------------12------------ +4 Madison Scouts-----15 ------------ 13 ------------ +2 Crown----------------6 -------------- 4 ------------ +2 Bluecoats------------7--------------- 6 ------------ +1 Phantom ------------ 4 --------------3 ------------ +1 Cavaliers ------------3 ------------- 2 ------------ +1 Glassmen -----------11------------- 11---------- no change Blue Knights ---------8 ------------ 8 ----------- no change Blue Devils ---------- 1 ------------ 1 ----------- no change Boston Crusaders -- 9 ------------10 ------------- -1 SCV ----------------- 5 ------------- 7 ------------- -2 Spirit ----------------12 -------------15 ------------ -3 Cadets -------------- 2 -------------- 5 ------------ -3 Academy ----------- 13 ------------ 17 ------------ -4 Colts ---------------- 10 ------------ 14 ----------- -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OICMR corps Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Where's Pio, Mandarins, Troop and PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinwiz Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Where's Pio, Mandarins, Troop and PC? PC + 1, other three are even if you adjust last year's placements to remove inactive corps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_scotty Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 i think madison and the blue devils are the biggest improvers. madison was just un-madison looking and sounding last year, this year they are a lot more recognizable, and i know bd won last year, but i think this show is an all-time show, while last was merely good enough to beat the competition of last year. crown i think is neutral. i like them a lot this year, but i liked them a lot last year. i'm torn with what to say on cadets. this years hornline is nowhere near as good as last years, and hornline is my first point of comparison. but the cadets have set themselves up to put narration first, and make that the main basis of judging them (from a fan perspective), and honestly last years narration was by far the most offensive thing i've ever been exposed to in a drum corps show, while this years is just not enjoyable to me in any way. so i guess cadets are even, looking at it that way. biggest fall off? hmmmm....not sure anyone really stands out there, maybe scv if they don't clean it up some. but i'm not ready to award anything for this particular category yet.

TexasPRfan Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It's too early to call the "step-backs," I think. Here's who I think has made strides forward this summer compared to last: Phantom Regiment Blue Devils Cavaliers Carolina Crown Blue Stars Glassmen Crossmen Madison Scouts Troopers Colts Pacific Crest Pioneer Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
