N.E. Brigand Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) According to a post made in Spandy's 2013 rankings thread last year by David Stollberg (of Atlanta CV), the Prelims seedings are based not on a corps' most recent score, nor on any average of scores, nor on a corps' highest score in August (as many people said around this time last year), but on a corps' highest score at any point in the season. (And no, last year's champion doesn't get the option of performing last.) More often than not, that does mean the most recent score is determinant, but not always. With that in mind, before the final two shows next weekend, I think this is where things stand: Open Class 92.60 Caballeros* 92.55 Buccaneers* 92.35 Minnesota Brass 89.85 Fusion Core* 88.60 AtlantaCV 87.35 Cadets2* 83.85 Bushwackers** 83.00 Carolina Gold* 81.20 Hurricanes** 80.35 Sunrisers** 79.35 Alliance 74.30 Windsor Regiment** 74.10 Skyliners** 72.50 Kilties Class A 83.25 Governaires 82.80 White Sabers* 81.10 Sun Devils 71.25 Cincinnati Tradition 68.45 Excelsior** *to appear at Reading **to appear at Bridgeport Edit: Are Skyliners appearing at Bridgeport? The Hurricanes' Fanfare page lists them, but DCA's listing for that show does not, and the Skyliners' calendar shows only rehearsal in Plymouth. For now, I'm assuming they will appear there.

N.E. Brigand Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 And these are my predictions. Bear in mind that I was off by an average of 2.50 points per corps with my guesses for this weekend! Big Sounds in Motion (Reading) O1. 94.50 -- Caballeros O2. 94.35 -- Buccaneers O3. 91.45 -- Fusion Core O4. 89.60 -- Cadets2 O5. 84.40 -- Carolina Gold A1. 84.05 -- White Sabers Fanfare 2014 (Bridgeport) O1. 85.75 -- Bushwackers O2. 83.80 -- Sunrisers O3. 82.70 -- Hurricanes O4. 78.40 -- Windsor Regiment O5. 74.55 -- Skyliners A1. 72.10 -- Excelsior Well, we shall see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 White Sabers' score you have may be a tad high. Contrarily, I'm wondering if I don't have them a bit too low. For them to improve only by 1.25 in three weeks seems unlikely, especially after checking their Scranton performance just now on the Fan Network. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Big Sounds in Motion (Reading) O1. 94.50 -- Caballeros O2. 94.35 -- Buccaneers Wow... Cabs more than doubling the spread from Scranton!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Other than checking for scores, I predict a weekend off from drum corps for me. LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Windish Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Here goes . . . . I fully expect Buccaneers to win this Saturday, by about 1.5. I expect them to again win at Prelims in Rochester. From what I have witnessed, live and video, the Finals winner in Rochester will come from these two corps.

Hey Fred ... you switchin' yer prediction from the other thread where you picked the Cabs to win "by a slight margin"? Ya can't have it both ways ... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
