Tim K Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Arthur is headed toward the Canadian Maritimes and the weather is great in the Boston area--clear skies with a slight breeze, temperature about 80 or so. It should be great for the show and perfect for the corps to be practicing. Crown's third place took the audience by surprise in Bristol and even more surprising was the close proximity of the scores of the top three--less than a point separating them. BAC's 4th and Spirit's 5th was not surprising, but the closeness of the scores made more than a few BAC fans, including this one, a bit uncomfortable. Keep in mind all five corps probably had their best performances to date in Bristol, as did Spartans and 7th Regiment. My thoughts: If we have a full judging panel (someone said as of July 5th all shows have full panels, I'm not sure of the accuracy of this statement), or at least a panel that includes a brass judge, it could be Crown's night. Cadets will not be giving anything away, and Bloo could have some momentum after topping Crown. I k now Bloo planned on making good use of free time yesterday due to cancelled parades with some r and r as well as some rehearsal time. It could pay off. Spirit made major improvements, as did BAC, though I thought BAC was stronger in Bristol. I am hoping productive rehearsals as well as the support of the home town crowd will serve them well tonight, but it was pretty close. 7th and Spartans will be neck and neck, but that's not a surprise. Any thoughts about tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jast45 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 first show for me this season!! Looking forward to all but especially the Bluecoats!! I hope they build on the excitement of Bristol and TILT even more to the top!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCHEZman Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I think anytime Cadets/Crown/Bloo compete in the same show this year will be exciting. They are all powerhouses this year and I suspect the scores/placements will be dependent on the panel of judges or who has put the most effective changes in to bolster their show.

2000Cadet Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 If that is the lineup then no, I don't think it will be Crown's night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Here's to hoping BAC starts gaining some momentum, this week is the time to start that IMO. They don't need to be behind the leaders by over 10 points by the end of this week. I have high hopes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCHEZman Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Why would you say that? Is this not a good panel for Crown? Which judge/caption? Just curious.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
