CrownBariDad Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I've seen Spirit's full show twice now (guard not yet in costume). I'm not saying they will beat the Cavies or Bluecoats, but watch out. They have a VERY good show this year (again). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btown50 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I think a lot of people are doubting Spirit and the Cavies 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadwick Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 I think a lot of people are doubting Spirit and the Cavies I agree. I have a feeling both may not start super strong out the gate but will have mid and late season surges. I hope Spirit can keep the momentum through the end of the season and not peak as they did somewhat last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2muchcoffeeman Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) My Predictions:1. Bluecoats - 71.2 2. Cavaliers - 68.5 3. Spirit of Atlanta 64.3 4. Crossmen - 61.0 5. Troopers - 58.5 Troopers' score in their first show last year was 62.0, at a show where Bluecoats scored 70.2 and Blue Stars 66.6. Anyone here actually think, given the changes to the Troop staff, programming and the strength of their offseason, that the gap has widened? Anyone actually think the Troopers will come out of the gate behind where they started a year ago? Anyone here think that the program this year has the same kind of upside limits that last year's show had? Sure, it could happen. Anyone can have a hot/cold show on any given night, and it is ridiculously early to be fretting over tenths of a point. And in this show, Troop probably will come in fifth place against four proven finalists As they say: I'm just sayin' Edited June 20, 2013 by 2muchcoffeeman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only way the positioning changes in these early shows, IMO. I've said something along these lines every year since 2007: unless we are a 600 lb. electric blue crazed gorilla on the field, we will not automatically be thrown into a new tier. I do think Troop will be significantly better than last year given what I've been seeing and hearing, but everyone else is trying to do that, too. So, it's probably going to take some time for things to shake out, just like every other season. Then again, maybe they'll be that gorilla. We'll just have to wait and see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
