2017 PREDICTIONS!


Recommended Posts

On this day, and after (trying) to watch last night on FLO: (what they need to do)

1. SCV (layer, layer, layer) the corps I loved as a youth.

2. Crown (layer, turn up the last 1/3 a notch, color guard continued growth)  My hope to win.

3. BD (whatever BD always does - surprise us). 

4.  Bloo (clean, continued development of the ballad, clean the feet -white works the best when you move like a machine ) Also my hope to win.

5. BAC (don't stop working)

6. Cavaliers (finish the ending - no live vocalist singing "My Way")

7. Cadets (stop adding to your show - clean it and make what you have work)

8. Blue Knights (minimalist props nice, but need more visual)

9. Phantom (enough with the fantasy - we get it) clean that brass book

10. Blue Stars (haven't seen you in a while, sorry)

11. Crossmen (tone down the synth, contninue cleaning that brass)

12. Madison (visual appealing - enough there - need a clean brass book to get back into finals)

13. Mandarins (haven't seen you, but looking forward to it)

i'm going to put my two cents in a say I hope the blue devils go for the gold, they always produce the top of the line, perfect show.

 

nobody can even compete 

Ah. Apparently there are a few competing.  They aren't that far ahead and there are weeks to go.

Pretty sure the singing there has never been a live vocalist.

1st: SCV - All they need to do is clean, clean, clean and I truly believe they will get the gold!

2nd: BD - Easily weakest visual content I've seen from BD in recent years.

3rd: Crown - With solid brass and improved percussion, this corps can do incredible things even with a mediocre design.

4th: Bluecoats - Tilt 4.0. Well rounded corps. I just believe crown performs better with what they have.

5th: Cavies - Another solid and fun show from the green machine.

6th: BAC - Wow, such an improvement, they really sound more like the Cadets than the cadets themselves this year!

7th: Cadets - Oh George...

8th: BK - dare I say TOO esoteric?

9th: Phantom - Honestly have not gotten a good read yet but I have heard that their brassline is weaker.

10th: Blue Stars - A very nicely executed BOA show.

11th: Crossmen - Sorry...

12th: Mandarins - Will there be a new trend of a first time finalist corps claiming a finals spot every year?

13th: Madison

14th: Colts

15th: Academy

16th: BDB

17th: Troopers

18th: Spirit

19th: SCVC

20th: Genesis

21st: Pacific Crest

22nd: OC

23rd: Cascades

24th: Music City

25th: Legends

Nice try. If BD's has the weakest visual content then why in 2nd? Makes no sense.

I will say, though they do not March a lot in the show, their is a LOT of choreography that goes very unnoticed, and that has to go with the progression of DCI. In my opinion doing dance choreography while playing is just as difficult.

Care to elaborate? 

How can you not like what they did? That's curious.

i still won't bet against Blue Devils. Regardless, this may well be the best fourth place show in DCI history.

Right now, though I don't agree at all, it appears Coats will be left out. But when this show moves to an indoor arena, with 40,000 people cheering, you never know what impact that will have. The ballad disappears outdoors; Indoors, it will resonate around the stadium as the closer to Into the Light did.

BD

SCV

Crown

Coats
