If you do the same thing , the same way all the time, You will get caught! You will get passed by, Eventually. Devils medal, Not Gold.

Barneveld Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Jeff Ream's predictions seem to be the most accurate every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 My spring training rankings for the top 3: 1. Crown 2. SCV 3. BD my next two corps: 4. Boston 5. Bluecoats then: 6. Cavaliers 7. Regiment 8. Cadets 9. Blue Stars 10. Blue Knights 11. Crossmen 12. Mandarins I personally expect an extremely strong line up of corps this summer 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one corps to rise in rankings, another has to fall. Tough to predict when you like and root for so many of the corps, because they can't all win gold, or all make finals. Yeah, it underscores how good the corps are. There are going to be some brutal decisions for the judges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmettomello Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 <Disclaimer: This is a combo of what I think will happen, wishful thinking, and how strong I feel about their show (except for Blooo and SCV who have yet to announce).> 1. BD- Would like to see a new face at the top, but for the first time in a long time, I am really digging this show announcement and rep coming out of Concord. 2. Crown- Well, yeah. 3. SCV- When I first heard last years show announcement, I didn't think it would be that strong of a show, but boy was I wrong. I think they will announce their program soon, prior to their first show, according to what Michael Gaines tweeted today. I think momentum is on their side, but could easily see Boston, Cavies, or Coats sneaking into the top 3 too. 4. Boston- Putting up a strong fight for medal contention, but I think it will take a little more time. Prove me wrong BAC! 5. Cavies- Another strong year for cavies, but will be edged out come finals. 6. Cadets- I see the corps really working their butts off to prove themselves after everything that has been going on. Late season surge possibly? 7. Bluecoats- No idea what they are bringing to the table this year. Probably completely wrong on this one. 8. Phantom- Loving this show announcement, I think they are back on the upswing. Rooting that they could maybe even place higher. 9. Crossmen- Simply who I think in this range of corps has the most potential to climb the ranks. 10. Blue Stars- Interested to see how strong this show will be. I found last year to be a little cluttered in design. 11. BK- Show concept scares me a little, losing the brass caption head will hurt them. 12. Mandarins- One of the first to announce their program and I was pleasantly surprised how refreshing and new this concept should be. They will make finals this year. 13. Madison- Scouts will be out, but usually a perennial finalist, would always enjoy to see them to sneak in to grab the last spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolCorps Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 As we get closer to Tour Premier, this is my “not so official” official picks: 1) Blue Devils 1) Crown 3) Bluecoats 4) SCV 5) Cavies 6) Phantom 7) Cadets 8) Boston 9) Blue Knights 10) Blue Stars 11) Colts 12) Crossmen OK, don’t rake me over the coals just yet!!! LOL!!! I do believe there will be a tie at the top, simply because it’s been a while since we’ve seen one! I do think this year is LOADED! Should be fun! I was able to hear the Colts show in Dubuque at the end of their Memorial Day Parade, and let’s just say THIS AIN’T YOUR MAMA’S COLTS!!! WOW!!!! Drum Corps fans will LOVE this years production!!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
