kinetic inferno11 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Overall faves were crown, academy, BD, and SCV. But I'm a sucker for cadet's brass 😍😍😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Windish Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'll go ; Crown for the win Blue Devils Bluecoats Cadets Vanguard Cavaliers Sorry, due to a prior commitment, those were the only corps we got to see tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishfan Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I think that 3 corps have a chance of winning it all in Indy. It SHOULD depend on the performance on the night and this year I think it just might. I love Bloo, but tonight I have Crown above them and BD alongside them. I usually LOVE BD, but this year's show isn't "quite" there for me. I could see Cavies in 4th and SCV 5th tonight, but from an internet feed, any judgement is severely flawed. Just loved lovin' the drum corps. Well done to everyone who put it all out there to give all the fans such a great night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think SCV will be solidly in 4th, and should pull further away from Cadets/Cavies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 btw you get this pizza in Dayton! Cassano's Pizza King! (salt under the crust too -- it's amazing) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I could see Crown wining this one, BD 2nd, BC 3rd. Vanguard on 4th Place Island. Cavaliers should beat or be within a couple of tenths of Cadets.BK down 2 points, PR right there with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skewerz Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 im sure it was a little intimidating if it had been the 1980 Spirit hornline, the bandtastic kids would have had to wear ear protection...and the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) compared to last night, BD run was a little flat? Not to me, I thought tonight was another level. +++ I don't mean to be an audio snob, but drum corps is my raison etre and I've spent years assembling audio components, speakers, subs, electronics, that can play DRUM CORPS. That means LOUD, like LIVE drum corps loud, and just as importantly, when played loud NO DISTORTION. And that means horn driven speakers, BIG ones. I use hot rodded Klipsch CF-4's. Then can easily reach 110 DB, and the bass dips into the 40 Hz range. I can FEEL the power. I've watched drum corps for more than 30 years from the stands, and I've sat inside BD's horn circle. I know what live drum corps sounds like. With my speakers tonight;s show shakes the floor, it vibrates my chest cavity and rim shots nearly take my ears off with the CRACK you get live. What I'm saying is if you use cheap computer speakers, or have to play the sound DOWN then yes, BD will not sound very exciting. But the way I had things cranked up tonight, BD was VERY exciting, as was CROWN and SCV. Your mileage may differ.
