barigirl78 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 This is something that hasn't been talked about much. In this show last year, the Cadets were 7.2 points above the Crossmen. To go from that to 2.8, is something worth noting. The Crossmen's gap with Bluecoats is also a few points closer than last year. This is comparing the same show a year apart. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Lancer Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I want to give a shout out to Bloo's guard. I have been scratching my head over the past two scores ... tonight they scored very well. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuts I'm sure people thought it was nuts to think BD was going to come in and win finals 2015 after being 2nd so much in the late season. You never know what can happen I things like this.

I think their placement cap is 4th, and that is stretching it. More likely 5-6th. But I will say the progress in a week has been impressive on the videos Ive seen, and there are several moments in the show I actually enjoy as opposed to the laughing stock of design last year. What do you have so intensely against Cadets Poppy? I forgot people hate the truth. Nothing against Cadets. Don't fabricate some hate Cadets story.

All i'm saying that such a statement from you shows a lack of understanding of drum corps or the understanding of how quickly things can change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Genesis a little low, but with how ambitiously they program I bet they won't stop improving until the season is done. SOA opened with a 62.4 way way way later on July 8th last year. I know scores aren't relative show to show let alone year to year but the fact they were so close to two great corps on their first night is very promising for them. Love seen corps who have struggled a little bit recover. Troopers and Colts are kinda stalking out scores wise despite hearing great things about both. Wonder what's going on. Though I imagine scores are not important among the Troopers right now, I wish them the best on getting through their loss. I guess I need to reevaluate Crossmen. Didn't really like the show on Thursday last week but with the numbers they're getting I need to watch again with an open mind. And good for Cadets. I might not personally like the show but I'd rather see them having some success and potential as compared to what happened last year. I hope they keep climbing. Sounds like Bluecoats had a good run and I'm so happy it sounds like the soloist had a good night. And like Mr. Lancer said, glad the guard is getting some recognition. Play nice everyone.......lol. We're just getting started! Edited June 28, 2017 by DrumManTx 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a corps but it's not Cadets. I certainly don't think that, but it is still nice to see the Cadets score go up to reflect that they're improving. At this point, it's going to be wild in 6-9th place. I've stopped trying to guess, 'cause when I do that I feel a little competitive. I'm trying to (so far) stay in the realm of fandom instead of former corps marcher with personal inclinations towards or against certain corps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall we go back to when Cadets went from 1st to 3rd in a week in 2015? I don't think anyone knows 100% what the placements will be when finals rolls around in August. We may guess and predict, but we never know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
