drumcorpsfever Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Let's see what happens when they all get together. It's much more wide open this season than any in recent memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a pretty good idea what most of the corps are doing and what many of them have achieved so far. The sleek new uniforms have been revealed, crazy props dragged all over the field, and people are lining up the strollers in the front row in baby-throwing anticipation. I'm always lurking and reading, and from what I can tell, these are the 5 corps with the most hype right now. (In no particular order) Mandarins - These guys have been slowly building a contender the past few years. They've got a great show design and performers that are keeping up with the demand Can they push their way into the top 12 this year? Bluecoats - Their show design is top notch. They're using that zig-zaggy prop in crazy creative ways. You won't be able to buy a bowler hat anywhere in the US come August. Blue Devils - A brass book that's got more runs than after a trip to Taco Bell. The visual is a step behind, but they are already executing at a high level. No one ever counts out BD. SCV - A really complete show design with medalist potential. They're easily keeping up with BD's scores out on the west coast. The circles are the bomb and they use them SO well. Boston Crusaders - They've been running with the new staff hype for a while, and so far they've delivered. Great music and high visual demand. How far up can they go? What do you think? Did I miss someone? Is there a corps that we haven't seen yet that'll make even bigger waves? (OC, Cascades, Surf) This is just my opinion, feel free to debate and discuss. I've been told that OC is going to be pretty hype worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC and Cadets (battle) 4. Phantom and Madison 5. ...and maybe Crossmen's success. I can get behind these, but I think Cadets end up 4th (ahead of Cavies and Crown). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a top 12 corps and if they haven't gotten the hype yet they certainly will start getting hype after their San Antonio performance Edited July 3, 2017 by Triple Forte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito365 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Crown deserves some hype even though they're not competing. Their doom has been spelled out every year since 2017 and yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
