hostrauser Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Man I hope I can control my nervous bowels. No, but seriously, I get far too jumpy about these last two shows of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy1 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The Greenville Cadets have really surprised me this season. This is their first season in DCPI and they have made it to the semi-final round. Super proud of the kids at Black and Gold as well. We had a few illnesses out of some sections which hurt us but great season to everyone and can't wait to see everyone at semi's to tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hostrauser Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Welp, I just mis-clicked while updating my captions for Xothyme, so regardless of how well they did tonight you can minus one contender for Class A, because they're going to drop ~1 point at Finals.

hostrauser Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 LOL. Both Oregon and Polaris won Semis? Grrreeeaat. This is the fourth time in nine seasons Polaris has won Semis. Still looking for that elusive first gold. Here's hoping. And here's a stat for you: this is the fourth season IN A ROW that Oregon Marauders have won Open Class semis. The prior three did not turn into Finals night gold. ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcurrier Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 holy BLEEEEEP I pulled a Crossmen and made finals LOL The Knights SURE looked to be out of it, but along with Cape Cod Regiment and Les Blanc Chevalier---HERE WE COME!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Lots of storylines heading into finals tomorrow. In WC, you have 3 corps (Polaris, Knights of Power and Elite Brigade) that have been incredibly consistent all season long, as well as the Tennessee Nipples, one of the few remaining founding members who are on a huge late-season surge, that all have a good chance of taking home gold tomorrow, not to mention Rocky Mountain Thunder continuing their remarkable run and Nastalgia Vanguard looking to play spoiler and end the FANFARE dominance of the last few seasons. Throw in a 3-way battle for the Knight Sword and ultimate bragging rights, and it's definitely going to be an exciting night. Open Class and Class A are no less exciting, as Open Class featured a 3-way tie for 13th place with Texas Zephyrs inching ahead to get the last finals spot, along with Oregon Marauders winning semis for the 4th consecutive season, Tokyo Tornadoes holding strong in second and 4 more corps nipping at their heels. Meanwhile, Class A features some newcomers (Lowell Lancers and Southern Colorado T-Boltz) who have thrown themselves into the mix along with the "usual suspects" of Cross, Cape Cod Regiment, Xothyme, etc. But there's some heartbreak as well. Last season's world class champs, Quiksilver, will be on the outside looking in, Crimson Lions suffered a bitter disappointment to finish 18th, Appalachians couldn't recapture their prelims-night magic and wound up in 20th (The Curse is still alive and kicking) and OVT and Mountain Devils, bitter rivals during the season, both missed out on advancing to finals by the narrowest of margins. I think they're both having a massive couch-burning party out in the lot to let off some steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
