How would you have ranked the top 12?


Recommended Posts

I too think the judges got it right - with the only exception being I would have had Troopers in 12th instead of Blue Stars, and BK was underscored, but correctly placed.

Yeah, I know, George. I never thought I'd have a list w/o BD on it, but as much as I hate to say it, I don't ever see myself watching their 2013 show ever again. sad.gif

I've already watched Crown, SCV and Troopers a few times since last weekend. Including Crown and Vanguard today.

By the performance:

1. Carolina Crown

2. Blue Devils

3. Cadets

4. Santa Clara Vanguard

5. Bluecoats

6. Phantom Regiment

7. Boston Crusaders

8. The Cavaliers

9. Madison Scouts

10. Blue Knights

11. Spirit of Atlanta

12. Blue Stars

By show design (if everyone played like Crown's brass, Cadet's percussion, BDs Visual and Guard)

1. The Cadets

2. Carolina Crown

3. Blue Devils

4. Santa Clara Vanguard

5. Bluecoats

6. The Cavaliers

7. Phantom Regiment

8. Boston Crusaders

9. Blue Knights

10. Madison Scouts

11. Spirit of Atlanta

12. Blue Stars

If each corp had their best run on finals night IMHO

1. Blue Devils (prelims run will go down, in my book, as the best instance of drum corp in years)

2. Carolina Crown (semifinals was their best run)

3. The Caders (finals)

5. Santa Clara Vanguard (finals)

5. Bluecoats (finals)

6. Phantom Regiment (semis)

7. Boston Crusader (quarters or finals)

8. Madison Scouts (either quarters or semis, finals was a little rougher than those two)

9. The Cavaliers (finals)

10. Blue Knights (really underscored finals night)

11. Spirit of Arlanta (finals)

12. Blue Stars (finals)

Completely agree with everything except maybe marching performance and music ensemble which I would give to SCV. I still see too many bouncing shakos in the Cadets than any other hornline in the top 8. It's a wonder how they play without much feet in the sound.
