JoeDz Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I think the only question left at this point in Open Class is who will catch the bouquet. Will it be Minnesota, Cadets 2 or the perennial bridesmaid Caballeros??? Always a bridesmaid never a bride. I wouldn't count out any of the top 4. Cabs showed how easy it is to pick up a field penalty, even in finals...... While you are likely correct, one of the three bridesmaids may catch more lightning than bouquet ! It is possible...... and I believe Cabs, Cadets2, and MBI are primed for it. Regardless, I think 2015 will be remembered by DCI and DCA for an exciting new era of parity....based on excellence, rather than MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA parity based on 80% of all teams being equally mediocre. Even as a dinosaur, I LOVE WHAT DRUM CORPS HAS BECOME !!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 from Michael del Corso's feed **** DCA All-Age Corps - Based on Newest Score **** **** Final Regular Season Ranking **** Class A: 01 (01) - 83.45 (4) - Govenaires 02 (02) - 76.40 (3) - Alliance 03 (03) - 75.10 (4) - Kilties 04 (04) - 73.60 (4) - Chops, Inc 05 (05) - 69.55 (3) - Cincinnati Tradition 06 (06) - 68.15 (2) - Erie Thunderbirds 07 (07) - 66.30 (1) - Excelsior It works out that this is also the seeding order, even though the highest scores of the season for Tradition (70.55) and Excelsior (67.30) are not the ones shown here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well....based on the number of DCA titles they've won in their history, I would say they've been married more times than Larry King!!!

BigW Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well....based on the number of DCA titles they've won in their history, I would say they've been married more times than Larry King!!! Now you mention Larry King and multiple marriages, how about this guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Manville I've seen his personal Limo. Leather fenders, enclosed passenger compartment with curtains and an intercom, Lord knows what that old Brewster would tell you about what went on back there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
