emc2 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Go get them tonight BAC. (I guess no scoring info will be posted in detail). BAC: 2015. 1st show: Total/GE = 23.40 Total/vis = 18.40 Total/music = 18.80 total = 60.60 IMO. All area's should improve from 015 (score wise). What will be interesting is placement. All corps above BAC beat them last year. Note: In 014 BAC 1st shows score was 66.40. IMO they are above that score as well. Good luck to all tonight. All the kids are great in all the corps. Scores from last year 1st show 015: CC68.25, BC 68.10, Cadets 69.10, PR 66.95, Cav 63.10. Edited June 23, 2016 by emc2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Go get them tonight BAC. (I guess no scoring info will be posted in detail).

Taking into account the big drop in scoring last year across the board (Cadets won the opener with a 69 something) and the fact this season stats later, I'm predicting a 64 - 66. Which is pretty good. We shall see! It's all about the relativity to Phantom and Cavaliers though. Have a good feeling about tonight, can't wait to see it! Probably right behind Bluecoats in my anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabMaster Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Personally, no apology will be forthcoming from me. I was simply attempting to answer a questioned as posed. I was of the belief that doing so was still allowed in the United States of America. As for best wishes for BAC...I'm sure that both Ghost and Liahona (among others) will attest to the fact that I have become a rather huge fan of the Crusaders. As such, I am incredibly excited about their prospects for 2016.I don't believe an apology was requested or that unbridled praise be give to the corps. I believe there was simple venting, maybe overly sensitive venting, about what is felt to be a non-issue and viewed as a variation of making an unnecessary mountain out of a mole hill (my words not his); based on speculation about a new rights perspective no one has given much if any thought to. Boston through the years has been viewed as a corps that hadn't quite made the transition to the elite tier. Now the organization is knocking on the door and long time supporters don't want any distractions or negative issues to cloud or derail all the hard work the organization has been doing on many, many, fronts. There is no doubt the organization is aware of newer supporters they've gained in the recent years and appreciates that the new supporters enjoy and support the corps as much as the older long time fans and supporters. Please don't take Craiga's comments personally or be dissuaded from speaking your mind. I believe there was an expectation comments or opinions on the corps would focus on the program being offered this season. The thought or speculation about the corps securing rights to the use of imagery struck people a little pointedly. Especially when there is little understanding about use of imagery for any corps and whose responsibility it is to secure rights if rights need to be secured. In short, don't be offended and be prepared to enjoy what looks to be an amazing season for all corps and for Boston who has put together a very different program in sight and sound. Thanks to you and Eleran for your support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I want to counterbalance the last few days of ridiculous hype, by saying that the Boston Crusaders will struggle this season, imo. Seriously. The music is a rehash of songs played 10 times before by 10 other corps. Plus, the music arrangements are just blah, with no modern updated arranging to it. The Corps theme and music makes little sense right now to me, and the guard uniforms look like something from straight out of the 90's. The Corps is looking for another snare as they are only fielding 6 at the moment, and another tuba, as they are only fielding 9 now. The Visuals are all confined to within the 30 yard lines to allow the inexperienced in their ranks to be better able to handle the demands of the show. Boston, i believe, will be fortunate to be within 10 points of the other 4 Corps this Thurs .nite in the theatres, just like last season's opener for them unfortunately. I'm not even sure they'll look and sound like they'll even belong there with the other great Corps for this opener. On a positive note however, the Corps props will reportedly be ready for their early July performances, and this should position them to move up from 14th or 15th ranking in july to position themselves to again make Finals, imo. 35% of DCP posters have Boston finishing 11th or 12th in their preseason predictions . I would tend to agree with them.... but only if the large props come in as well as advertised, and the Crusaders complete the show before the end of the month.. Don't believe the others here with their hype. They have little to no experience with these things, and I just wanted to point this out.😢 You're so mean.
