SFZFAN Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I am a fan of the scouts... 95 and 99 are 2 of my favorite shows... Does this mean i cant be honest? It's hard to see that from your numerous negative posts about them but whatever..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan of the Arts Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Irving, love ya buddy, what you do for the Cadets year in and out is AWESOME! That said, I think your assesment is off in this matter. I think the groupings are clearly 1-4 (Cadets, Cavies, BD, Crown) 5-6 (Phantom, Bluecoats) 7 (SCV- right now by themselves though they could drop... unlikely though) 8-11 (Madison, BK, BStars, Boston- This group is gonna stay on each others heals the rest of the season) 12-17 (Spirit, Troopers, Colts, Academy, Glassmen, Crossmen- Spirit, Gmen and Troop seem to be most likely to get in the Sat Show at Indy.) I mean no disrespect, but I think it is unlikely Bstars or Madison will be above 8 this summer. Doesn't mean they're not great! Wes P I agree here, we're pretty close to knit-picking now. The point is Madison will be fine in the long run. Let's see what happens after the Atlanta Regional. Irving Fan of the Arts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuphMMXI Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 It's hard to see that from your numerous negative posts about them but whatever..... They arent my favorite corps by any means. Hell PR is in the top 3 faves for me, yet the past years i had negativity. Last year was pretty good though. Anyways... Im just giving my honesty. I dont let favoritism blind me like some do... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madalumni Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) They arent my favorite corps by any means. Hell PR is in the top 3 faves for me, yet the past years i had negativity. Last year was pretty good though. Anyways... Im just giving my honesty. I dont let favoritism blind me like some do... It's unfortunate that it happens. Heck, I've been guilty of letting my love for the organization (The Scouts) make me blind. But right now there are indeed some lulls in the drill. BK and Boston are currently being awarded for cleaning programs that are more demanding. But, that week of changes/cleaning could very well give the Scouts just enough visual/GE to push them back in the lead. If there's one thing I know about this staff, it's that they are very methodical and know how to achieve the goals they've established. But more importantly, they have already achieved what I feel should be the number 1 goal - blowing away the crowd!

vferrera Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Compared to BAC, most of the spreads were in performance/achievement subcaptions, not content/rep/vocab Compared to Broken Arrow, madison was way down in music GE (-1.2) and ensemble music (-1.5). Missing a bunch of percussionists will do that. It's a bit disappointing. Early on, it seemed like Madison might challenge for top 5. Then it looked like they'd be in the hunt for 7th with SCV. Now it looks like they are battling with BAC and BK for the 8, 9, 10 spots. And they still have to watch out for Blue Stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I know i wouldnt perform well at all with a massive headache I hope BAC doesn't get a " Bachmann " either. So far, the only thing sick right now on their tour apparently is their equipment truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
