Wow. Pretty close gap between Cavies and Phantom.

Cadets deserve it. Their show makes way more sense than anyone else's so far. Crown will catch up though. Should make for an awesome season!

Awesome show by Crown as well! Stunning brass and the demand is through the roof. Love the arrangements, and everything is well voices and orchestrated, much like Cadets. Just better construction than what Phantom and Cavaliers have.

This is going to be interesting. I'd actually have Cadets on top. The way I see it:

1. Brass - Crown by .4 over Cadets

2. Percussion - Cadets by 1.2 over Crown

3. Visual Ex. - Cadets by .3 (thought Cadets were a little cleaner)

4. Visual GE - Cadets by .4 (I really think Cadets have the better drill and overall staging, but we will see what the judges think)

5. Guard - Crown by .5 over Cadets

6. Music GE - Crown by .1 (very close in my eyes, mostly a tie)

So I have Cadets up on Crown tonight by .9. Of course, since I am usually wrong at this stuff, don't place any bets in Vegas. :-)

In all seriousness, that Cadets production is strong. I love the narration. That show calls for it. I do think Cadets have the strong drill, percussion, and marching, overall GE will be close, and brass is in favor or Crown, but Cadets are not far back. Two awesome corps, for sure.

Nice prediction although 2 points was a surprise. Cadets were cleaner.

Nope, such timing issues are the corps' fault. It's a different announcer at every show, who isn't being paid to be part of the performance, and if the corps chooses to make the announcers' various speech patterns an element in their show, then they ought to be dinged when it doesn't work out. The solution is for the corps to learn how to vamp, as Boston Crusaders did with their 1812-Les Mis show a few years ago.

I understand... and apologize. Was on my soapbox for a minute. It's just a little pet peeve of mine. That, and the timing of the "Vanguard" yell. :)

A little surprised, but not by much. Cadets have the cleaner product right now, IMO.

That can easily change though.
