2016 Prediction Thread


Recommended Posts

Looking at several years of scores on http://www.fromthepressbox.com/ it's fun to see how quickly a corps with an enhanced or limiting program starts to affect the judges scores.

Think of a corps that suddenly had a significant improvement in one year and watch how their score changed after the first few showings. The first couple of scores are often not reflective of their change in direction, but of where they finished the prior year.

This works in reverse too. For example, In 2008, Phantom Regiment won DCI. In their first few competition appearances in June of the following season ( 2009 ) they were crushing Corps like Boston by over 6 points. However it was clear early on that Phantom's visual show was nowhere near as good as that of 2008 ( I liked the music however ). Phantom was finally caught by both Blue Stars and BAC that season and both topped Phantom at Finals in 2009.

This is as good as any place to start.... Madison could go higher. Phantom could go higher. Cavaliers could go higher; I don't think they'll place 9th again. Boston Crusaders could be great too. I expect Troopers and Academy to be great. No idea about Crossmen or Blue Stars. Blue Stars can put out a great design. Actually, I'm thinking it's going to be a dog fight within all the "tiers" this year more than most other years.

I don't see Phantom dropping like that. They were solid by Aug last year and really sold the show..

Especially for the credit we (DCPers) weren't giving them early on in spring training. Sounded like we thought they were 10th last year.
