How would you have ranked the top 12?


Recommended Posts

OK, for those not happy with the way things ended this year, how would you have ranked your top 12?

For me:

Crown

BD

SCV

Cadets

Bloo

Phantom

Madison

Boston

Cavies

BK

Spirit

Blue stars

I wish I had the expertise, knowledge, training and experience on brass, drums, guard, and better grasp of all the criteria on the judging sheets to make an informed judgement. For example I don't know diddly about pit, about guard, and was too far away to be informed about the drumline execution on Finals Night ( my feed was horrible too ) But... this doesn't mean that I can't give an uninformed assessment... so here you go :

BD

Crown

Cadets

SCV

Bluecoats

Phantom Regiment

Boston

Madison

Blue Knights

Cavaliers

Spirit

Blue Stars

Mine would tick a lot of people off or make a lot of people happy. i don't care for the slotting, so it would look like this. Yes, a lot of ties, because these shows are so clean and so close, they just can't truly be seperated. TYhis isn't about how honestly clean anyone does things anymore, that was the tick system. Now it is the build up system and each corps in my eyes maxed themselves and would have finished in my order.....to me:

1. Blue Devils

1. Crown

1. Cadets

4th SCV

5th Phantom

6th Bluecoats

7th Scouts

7th Cavaliers

7th Blue Knights

7th Boston

11th Spirit

12th Blue Star

And I'd have BK much closer to 90 than they were scored. (Kill the voices and I'd have them above 90.)

Sorry, Blue Stars. You were greatly improved over my first viewing in Bowling Green, but I'd give Troopers the edge.

If the season were one day longer, I'd probably have put Boston in seventh.
