Baritone13 is being a pr*ck, just be quiet please. It's meant for fun. If you're being sarcastic I'm sorry, it's just not being very clear. Anyway, my predictions might be called bold, but I think it'll line up like this. I get some of the ideas from ageout figures of last year, and some of the staff changes. There's LOTS of movement from last year, I know, but wouldn't it be amazing if it ended up like this?

1. Cadets

2. SCV

3. Phantom Regiment

4. Blue Devils

5. Cavaliers

6. Bluecoats

7. Crown

8. Blue Knights

9. Boston

10. Blue Stars

11. Madison Scouts

12. Crossmen

13. Spirit

14. Colts

15. Glassmen

16. Mandarins

17. Academy

18. Pacific Crest

19. Troopers

20. Capital Regiment

21. Pioneer

22. Jersey Surf

[CoHmempho04]

1. Cadets-Just a hunch

2. Phantom-momentum and a different show design will prove key.

3. Crown-Watch as this corps gradually makes its way to the top

4. BD-Start considering a more audience accessible show

5 Cavaliers-This has been coming for awhile.

6. Blue Coats-Could flip flop with Santa Clara

7. Santa Clara

8. Colts-The show concept sounds innovative

9. Blue Stars-Expect great things with a similar show design

10.Madison Scouts-Latin theme will keep them in top 12 where they belong!

11. Boston Crusaders

12. Glassmen

13. Blue Knights

14. Crossmen

15.Troopers

16. Surf

17. Pacific Crest

18. Manderins

19.Cascade

20 Pioneer

for one... Did Spirit fold in your mind?

Cavies can't win, it's not an even year

1. Blue Devils - Revenge will fuel them well

2. Phantom - Close but two in a row? Sorry

3. Crown - Continue their climb

4. Cadets - good show = better placement

5. Bluecoats - continue even further up the ladder

6. Cavaliers - Loss of Fielder will effect them a lot (if it's the wrong affect/ effect, sorry...)

7. Santa Clara Vanguard - fan favorite

8. Blue Stars - last spot for Murfreesboro will be a tough battle with Madison and Colts

9. Madison Scouts - Latin two years in a row = better placement for Madmen of Madison

10. Blue Knights - crazy shows start to wear off

11. Colts - Fan Favorite, judges disrespect

12. Spirit - Jump back in their spot and begin their climb

to Mr. Baritone... Why does it matter? People did predictions the DAY after finals! WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT YET!

Ok, I'll play. According to my Ouija board:

1. Blue Devils (constantly seeking win number 13)

2. Cadets (if there is no narration)

3. Crown (moving up)

4. Phantom Regiment (how do you top Spartacus?)

5. SCV

6. Cavaliers

7. Bluecoats

8. Madison Scouts

9. Blue Stars

10. Colts

11. Boston

12. Crossmen

I'm Trying to pick hopefully I'd love to see SCV do it this decade but I dont think its in the cards. And YES I know picking BD to win isnt bold but It's their turn.

1 Blue Devils - Back with a vengeance

2 Crown - Knocking on the door

3 Phantom - Still Livin on last years hype (deservedly so)

4 Cavaliers - May be higher but crown was a bold prediction

5 Cadets - Bad taste from last year leaves tryouts down and morale low. (you cant publicly write off your corps and not get backlash)

6 BlueCoats - always solid just keep waiting for them to get over the hump

7 SCV - Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes (too many to make a strong run this year)

8 Blue Stars - the BOA formula tends to keep you in the top 12

9 Glassmen - Hoping they will follow in the line of "fun" shows

10 Scouts - Will slowly solidify their place in the top 12 over the next few years

11 Crusaders - Always a Contender

12 Blue Knights - Technical serious shows have served them well in the past

The wish list

Colts - could surprise everybody

Surf - Could serve as the new Bridgemen\Velvet Knights (DCI fans miss that aspect)

Quote: "8. Blue Stars - the BOA formula tends to keep you in the top 12"

LOL!

I really hope that's not the direction they are headed. There is already one BOA drum corps in DCI, and they took quite a lashing from the fans the past couple of years.
