Lance Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Holy Name's show will be controversial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudFuel Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well... without knowing all of the shows everyone will be producing we're really shooting in the dark on this one, but I'd "imagine" that the following corps will be in the top 4: The Cavaliers The Blue Devils The Holy Name Cadets Phantom Regiment The following will fall somewhere between 5 and 8: Carolina Crown The Bluecoats Santa Clara Vanguard 4 of these 7 will round out the top 12 with the other 3 peaking in: Blue Stars Colts Boston Crusaders Glassmen Spirit Crossmen Madison Scouts ....but who knows? Hopefully this is another exciting year with drama/suspense regarding placements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryfe Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) (not the ranks, just speculating) PR: Between 1st and 3rd, unless they once again fall back after a great show like they used to... I don't think they will, though BD: Fighting, but they usually are. Between 1st and 3rd. Cavies: I don't know. :O Between 1st and 4th. Crown: Between 3rd and 6th. I think this year's kind of a bad year for them to try to "prove themselves..." Holy Name: Between 1st and 6th. It really depends... Bluecoats: Between 3rd and 7th. I think of them about as good as Crown, but maybe a little less of a push for them SCV: Between 4rd and 8th (maybe 3rd if they step up their game a bit). Blue Stars: Between 6th and 9th. We'll see if they keep the momentum going. BK, BAC, Glassmen: No idea. 7th through 12th. Madison Scouts: Between 9th and 12th. Crossmen: Between 10th and 13th. Now, a ranking based on the average of where I guessed (and I wasn't thinking beforehand, so this might be ugly) 1st [tie]: Phantom 1st [tie]: BD 3nd: Cavies 4rd: Cadets 5th: Crown 6th: Bluecoats 7th: SCV 8th: BS 9th-11th: BK, BAC, Glassmen 12th: Madison 13th: Crossmen So yeah, that ended up like this year with one switch. I really have no better idea than that. But I can put where I hope it goes (which it won't... bias ahoy! this is basically a chaotic mix of how much I like the corps and my hopes for their program this year... there were originally three ties but I just picked the one I liked more) 1st: Phantom 2nd: Cavies 3nd: Holy Name Cadets 4rd: Blue Devils 5th: Bluecoats 6th: SCV 7th: Crown 8th: Madison Scouts \ 9th: Blue Knights | this is close 10th: Blue Stars / 11th: Glassmen \ 12th: Boston Crusaders | this is close 13th: Crossmen / 14th: Troopers 15th: Colts 16th: The Academy 17th: Spirit Not last: Pioneer [and I honestly don't know enough about Mandarins, Pacific Crest, Cascades or Surf to place them] Edit: No, I don't hope BAC folds. Woops. Edit 2: And I certainly don't hope the Blue Stars place twice, two places apart, and I really wish the Blue Knights were on my list. I must be getting tired. 8D Edited January 5, 2009 by Stryfe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryfe Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I think it'd be interesting to come back to these threads in seven months, calculate how far each corps was from your expected/hoped placement (absolute value, of course), add those numbers and find your correctness/disappointment value.

McDutchy Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 As much as I'd like to see SCV make it a championship in each decade, I'm going to have to go with this: 1. BD 2. Crown 3. Cadets 4. PR 5. Cavies 6. SCV 7. Bluecoats 8. Madison 9. Boston 10. Crossmen 11. Blue Stars 12. Spirit 13. Glassmen 14. Blue Knights 15. Troopers 16. Academy 17. Surf 18. Pacific Crest 19. Colts 20. Mandarins 21.
