Fran Haring Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Yeah, it may just be wishful thinking, but I love the fact that the state of Minnesota has a legitimate chance to sweep finals this year Heh... I think it was 2005... there were three corps from Minnesota in Open Class/Class A Finals that year, I believe the most from any state that year. Honestly, 5-10 years before that.... I don't think anyone in their right mind would ever have predicted that would happen!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe their score should rise significantly. Not to discredit anyone. I have my biases like everyone else I wish everyone the best of luck! Just have fun!!!!

coloradocorp Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 1. Bucs- 98.2752. MBI-96.9 3. Empire Statesmen- 96.575 4. Hurricanes- 94.2 5. Alliance- 94.00 6. Caballeros- 92.775 7. Kidsgrove Scouts- 91.1 8. Bushwackers- 89.7 9. Renegades- 87.6 10. Corpsvets- 85.225 The crowd will be astonished at the spread and cry o DCP later about the judges. Then it will all have been revealed for what it was: a play to make the competitive aspect feel closer than it actually was. In any case, the shows are great, and it becomes on of the best overall DCA fields in decades. For those who focus on the shows themselves, a real treat! For all else, conspiracy theories, and all of the usual stuff we see here everyday. PS I miss the Brigs Seems the judges take a beating every year since the drum corp activity began - they are rarely, if ever right in some views. The conspiracy theories abound - absurd. As a former HS/College basketball official - I've heard many 'kill da bum' calls from the stands - part of the turf if you judge anything. These guys will do their best to be fair, accurate in accordance with the rules in place - though we all know subjective calls can be perhaps too much of personal preference and not a universal call. NO - the judges won't consult the DCA Board to ask how they want the results to come out as some infer. All the corps will try to hit a season high with their performances. As to whether this will be one of the best overall DCA fields in decades - we all have our preferences. For me - the days when Sky, Brigs, Cru were still competing at their peaks along with more solid versions of Cabs and Renegades for example - those IMHO were the best fields ever for DCA.

TwoValves Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I'm surprised at the lack of confidence in the Southern Corps. I wouldn't underestimate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayre Kulp Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I'm surprised at the lack of confidence in the Southern Corps. I wouldn't underestimate them. I was thinking the same thing. CorpsVets weren't far off Hurcs heels a while back and Alliance has topped them a couple of times. I can definitely see them sneaking up on people.
