Lets wait and see in 10 days. Crown could very well be sixth. You heard it here first. Edited June 14, 2018 by Jim Schehr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the hell does the name of a corps show affect future placements? Just the name, I think nothing. Colts have given us a name without any rep, and that makes it very difficult to predict who competitive they'll be against the rising Academy, Mandarins, etc... But with the name and maybe a short description or rep... now that's useful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually someone manages to predict Crown to finish 6th every year since 2010. (And every year they're wrong) Nothing new here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyWonder1911 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 It has to do with what they're trying to do. The.point they're trying to get across. A show has a title, and the show is expected to revolve around that. That's why it's important for me to have a title to compare with. As far as Boston and my "fluke" comment. Obviously they can execute. But they had a good program to.work.with. I don't see this show being any stronger, think they'll end up around 90. I think we'll see a scenario this season like last, where the top 5 are 95+ and everyone else at least a point or two under that. Boston scored 92.9xx for 6th but this season 6th could be 93.9. Some years 92pts was good for 8th. I believe the last time Boston was 5th, they tied with Phantom at like 92.x Most of the time lately 8th is close to 90. We'll see what these design staffs can come up with. Some staffs can take a really great concept and do less with it than a staff with a so-so concept and really make something out of it. Lately past couple years Cavaliers staff have been doing great at both ends of design. I'd need to see one more show before I can say Boston is on that kind of trajectory. But then again, I thought BK was on the up and up and they couldn't break through that celling, although I really did like The Great Event and thought that was an under rated show. And yeah I guess I'm a hypocrite for jumping Blue Stars up.to 6th without any upwards mobility lately...but I think I'm biased, both with the corps and the concept of this season's show. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes... even the preseason announced show of " 10 " was no future indicator of placement for the Cadets that season..... nor " 007 " for the Cavaliers before that.
