Everything is possible until the cold fish of reality slaps us upside the head June 21. Then the bitterness begins. This is so true. Some of the hype comes from people that have never even seen these Corps in the winters, or at Move Ins. How amazing is that ?... lol! In the end, no doubt some of the hype will be shown to have been warranted, and in other cases, it was all just wished for noise. With so much of the current judging points based increasingly now on the Show Design/ Guard/ Visuals, its literally impossible at this stage to know what the judges will think/ do. But... in the absence of much in the manner of officially released info/ videos from the Corps with show music clips/ show visuals clips, something has to fill that void. So in today's Need to Know world, its " hype " that fills that void. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That too is entertaining, but I like to drink it all in slowly, like the changing of the seasons. Exactly! Most of us are going off of what little hype we've experienced and any available info about the show. If you're a fan of a certain corps it all looks fantastic on paper until the first show. We are optimistic, as we should be. :) Everything below is all in good fun. I'm certainly guilty of this. ================================================= Before the Season: "Just you wait, corps A is going to be a force" "we're moving up this year" "this show is going to be awesome" :) "we are so much further along than we were last year" Then after the first show what we get is: "Judges got it wrong" "Just wait until they clean" "wait until the new ending is in place" "we should have beat so and so in brass" Then at mid-season we get: "slotting" "it's all opinion anyways" "just wait until the 2nd new ending is in place" "wait until they hit 208 in the closer" Then a few days in front of DCI Finals: "I hear so and so is going to pull a few tricks out of the bag" (whatever than means...usually cheese) "I hear corps B rewrote their ending" "so and so is going to be a dark horse" Then after Finals: "wait until next year" "we needed one more week...maybe three" "The members did as much as they could with this poorly designed show" (contrary to our thoughts at the onset of the season) As for real hype I am excited for Crown, Bluecoats, Cadets, BD, Boston for sure, and pretty much everyone out there. Competitively I do want to see what Boston will bring to the table. Will they be ready to take a top 5 position? Really pulling for a Madison Scout resurgence.

jjeffeory Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Well Cavalier brass is vastly improved this year, so there is reason to hype. Percussion and guard are great too, and last years effort was pretty high, so I'm excited about them. Definitely worthy of medal talks, so I dunno. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavalier's brass has a Carolina Crown alumni to thank for that from what I hear. Lol. #SpreadingLikeWildfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cavaliers are camped at Adrian College in Michigan. Pretty sure they aren't breaking camp until a day or so before the opening day show at Ford Field in Detroit and then just EPL'ing to that first show.
