2013 Predictions


Recommended Posts

This is not so much of a prediction, more of a hope:

I hope someone does a faithful production of Les Miserables. I know BAC did it in 2011 but I just didn't like their arrangement. Is SCV can pull something like this off, bringing back the theatrics like we saw in 1989, I would simply (figuratively) die in happiness! I just saw the live musical at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco and absolutely LOVED IT! Cried the whole way.

I mean, think about the possibilities!

[...]

Sorry for going on about this but this was a totally vivid dream I had last night LOL.

If you have any dreams about the stock market, let us know.

He is clearly a time-traveler. Time to figure out who is going to win the next few World Series'. Or he may just be Marty McFly

Hearing that they'd be doing Les Miz was like a dream come true. And yes, I will let you know if I have any dreams about the stock market; however beware though that I might get arrested for insider trading*.

Disclaimer: I am not in any way a SCV insider so that dream was just a dream I dreamed! :-)

My prediction is that BD, Carolina Crown and SCV will duke it out the entire season for the top spot! 4 - 9 will be a crapshoot with the usual players! 10 - 12 will be a battle royale with the shocking reemergence of a very strong Troopers. I predict a 10th place for Troop because of finally having a full corps and a move back to their traditions and one of the most popular shows on the field this year! Remember, I said this first!

I guess my prediction looks a bit better after last night, huh?! :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

Have you been spending much time with BRASSO?

Nope. His ( " neutralnovice " poster ) predictions, insofar as this, turned out to be right on the money, and to his full credit. :worthy:/

I predict that Crown will get about 1/10th of the grief about their vocals than BD did last year, even though there are a LOT more of them in Crown's show.

That said, I LOVE the "counting" bits... just not so much on the poem.

I also predict that this year is going to be a LOT of fun, with a LOT of really good, good shows up and down the top 25. (If you haven't heard BDB, they are pretty stellar)

Well, as the first week of the 2013 DCI season begins, these are the corps that have been picked over ten months of this thread to win it all, and how many people have predicted each one:

28 -- Blue Devils

28 -- Carolina Crown

9 -- Cadets

4 -- Santa Clara Vanguard

2 -- Bluecoats

2 -- Phantom Regiment

1 - Cavaliers

Man, would I like to see something like this occur. No Corps in DCI History ( 40 years and counting ) has gone from 6th place to first place in one year. This sure would shake things up to see lots of placement shifts such as this occur.

Madison Scouts went from 6th to 1st from 1987 to 1988. Probably something to do with the European tour that year.

1987 6th 90.400 Captain from Castile * An American In Paris * Stars and Stripes Forever

1988 1st 97.100 Concerto For Guitar and Jazz Orchestra * Malaguena
