Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom!


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have the OTL times for the corps? I have a tight schedule and need to get there just as the first corps goes on.

Filled in Crown (and based on that) BD, SCV and BK (assuming 1- theres a break 2- its before BK) . Sorry don't have anything better..

825p Blue Knights

832p Santa Clara Vanguard

849p Carolina Crown

906p Blue Devils

Old "Wild Kingdom" script:

Marlin Perkins:

Hi folks, I'm Marlin Perkins and welcome to Mutual of Omaha's Wiiiiiiiild Kingdom!!

Marlin:

Folks, today we are here on the African Serengeti. I'm high up on this bluff out of the way. I just sent my assistant Jim Fowler down into that shallow valley to carefully sneak up on that large pride of lions and kick the male lion in the groin while it's sleeping. Let's be very quiet, watch and see what happens.

Poor Fowler always had to do the dirty work..........it's a wonder he's still alive today!

Marlin didn't much like the "wild" part of Wild Kingdom. Poor Jim is probably long-ago-digested by some big critter with sharp fangs.

Looks like Troopers are 7:24.

I think Cascades hit 60

Academy breaks 70

Troopers ahead of Academy by 2.5- 72.5-

BK skips 75 and hits 76 tonight

SCV scores closer to BD 81.7

BD loses ground to Crown 83.0

Crown by 1.5 points or more 84.5

If BK does jump to 76, that could effectively end their leap-frogging with Spirit and start them leap-frogging with BAC while they close in on Cavies.

Sounds good to me!

(yes...I think BAC is going to surge)

My prediction is BD closes the gap but Crown still beats BD by .2 of a point. BD starts to gain momentum between now and Minneapolis (just like 2011). Unlike 2011 however, I feel BD charges all the way to the championship. Seems like the BD design team has had a lot of things to figure out with this show and are making the necessary changes now instead of cleaning. They are still really dirty. But lets face it, no one can clean up drill quite like the BD visual staff!

I'm starting to dig Troopers show! I really feel that it's a very well coordinated show. Is it finals worthy? I don't believe it is but only time will tell! Without a doubt it is definitely a step in the right direction for them!

SCV - LOVE the use of the back drops to hide the hornline as they play against the back stands. Brilliant!

Does anybody know if they're going to make those PVC poles look like trees.

I'm really hoping they are. I heard a while back that they were thinking about it, and if they do, I think that would add a lot of GE.

Now that THE ACADEMY has had a chance to regain their footing in Denver, after a three week Hiatus from competition, I expect to see their scores elevate throughout their four-shows leading up to Minn. I'm hoping to see them ranked somewhere in the neighborhood of 15th come this weekend. What do you folks think?

IMHO, I don't think that they have the programming this year that they have had the past few years, so I don't think they'll be able to make it that high. Maybe with some changes they could do it.......

I think by the time mutual of Omaha came on there were no more cartoons for the week and the only thing we had left to enjoy was the fact that we didn't have to go to bed until about 5 hours later.

I have to agree with you about Academy. From what I have heard they were great in the beginning of their show they crowd just went "meh" for the rest! Troop seems to have a crowd-pleasing show and top-notch musicality to go with it! If they can increase the GE on visual they will be a strong competitor for not only making finals, but, maybe even getting to 11th (that would be fitting!)

BD has so much more to clean than Crown and they're also done making the major changes to their show. Even though they will keep changing their show until finals, I think BD will close the gap if not beat Crown by a slight margin.
