2015 Predictions

Cavies medal :)

Maybe not a prediction (perhaps more of a prophetic dream), but I wound up having a half-formed dream last night that somebody set The Arrival by Shaun Tan to movement and music. (It's a graphic novel that does quite well at telling a story without words, which might remedy some narration gripes out there.)

There will be less than a 2 point spread between 1st and 5th with each corps holding the top spot at least once throughout the season. There'll be a tie for the gold

[wilme861]

Your analysis is fine.

Wilme861's, however, was focused on one corps and came off like bitterness for seeing his own group fall to one he doesn't like.

Wow man, now I know that people can completely take what you said the wrong way. I'm not bashing anyone and I'm definitely not saying Crown got screwed out of anything. If you saw my other posts in other threads, you would know my opinion on stuff this year...

Anyways, my point was that the consistency from Bluecoats isn't there just yet based on this single year. For comparison sake, look at 2008 to now. Bluecoats have finished in the top 4 just twice, in 2010 and now 2014. In that same period Crown has finished in the top 4 in every year until their 5th place show this year. Btw I only use Crown since I know Crown and can back them up (that's why I basically only give examples using Crown so I don't sound like I'm just making stuff up.)

Bluecoats had a great show in 2010 and got 3rd and everyone was predicting they would make a push for gold in the next year and they ended up back in their usual range of 5th-7th. I'm not saying they won't be great next year but I'm not going to be jumping the gun on them just yet until they give me top 4 level shows year after year. They tend to just be off on another level below the top 4 corps every year for the most part. I just want them to consistently contend for a medal each year first. They have the ability to do it so let's see what happens.

Until then, my top 4 will be BD, Cadets, Crown and SCV for now for 2015.

The most creative, challenging, and innovative show will win highest score and greatest audience approval.

Wow it really took that long for someone to give me this answer? Dcp I'm disappointed

[Scadesfan]

BD's design and skill sets are being passed down to BDB and same at maybe a lesser extent at SCV and SCVC. The reality is that BDB and SCVC are world class corps competing in Open Class. I expect that BDB will, if not next year, the following year, by semifinals push whomever was sitting at number 12 out of finals.

People said the same thing about Crown after 2009 :)

I predict Bluecoats will do a show entitled "Melt"

They can melt your faces.

They can melt the turf.

The field will ooze off of the sidelines.

Impossible you say?

That's what I say. That's what D.C.Patrick says.

But won't that be a penalty for leaving powdered face on the field? Edited August 10, 2014 by Drmonkey
