wesleyrp Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Of course I forgot to say- the scores won't be announced til Mon by DCI, but that's ok, pick your outcomes and stay cool projected highs around 104-106 for Dallas and Austin Areas today and tomorrow:( ouch!!

DeanInChicago Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Regrets, this is a regular show. It had been on the original Thanksgiving 2010 schedule as one of 8 TOC shows, but now I believe there will be 5 TOC shows, starting in Rockford July 17.

ashyUechi Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The placements will be exactly what they were at finals. That's how they slot at the beginning of the season until they figure things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeldrum Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I predict the winner tonight will be mother nature. A high of 103 and wind gust to 35 mph will make things interesting. Its like sitting in front of a giant hair dryer. Watched one of the corps practice last night and it was almost comical watching the guard try to catch flag tosses that flew 10 feet sideways. Advantage will be for the later performing corps as the wind will die down some when the sun goes down. My predictions: 1) Blue Devils 2) Cadets 3) Bluecoats 4) Caviliers 5) Vanguard 6) Crown 7) Regiment 8) Blue Stars Brass: BD Drums: SCV Guard: BD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousSoundbyte Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wish this was on the fan network. I'll go ahead and make my meaningless prediction: 1) BD 2) Cadets 3) Cavies (could go to 4th... they're always a mess this early in the season) 4) Coats 5) SCV 6) Crown 7) Phantom 8) Stars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roosevelt Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Don't normally do predictions, but what the heck: 1. BD - Clean for the first show, as usual. 2. Cavaliers - Better than they usually are at the first show. 3. Bluecoats - Solid corps and show, could be higher. 4. Crown - Fun Show. Dirty, but nobody will care. 5. Cadets - Not as good as many people are saying. 6. Bluestars - They are going to be very good. 6th is a very realistic goal IMO. 7. Regiment - Still some things to work out. Horns are not as good, Drums are not as good, visual is improved. 8. SCV - Great drumline, bad hornline = 8th place out of 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook'emCavies Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I predict that everyone is going to perform well for the first show and everyone will break the 70 tonight! Is anyone going to be at the show to give us updates?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaPatty Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Just a bit of an update from the Bluecoats: They've had a late start today because one of the busses broke down on the way to Godley High School, so a good portion of the corps is still stuck on a bus on the road. Hopefully it doesn't affect their performance later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
