Fran Haring Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Gotta figure... if they build on their 2017 momentum, Mandarins have a good shot. I hope no one takes this the wrong way... but it kinda sucks that for one or more corps to move into the elite top 12, one or more really good corps has to move out. That top 15, top 17.... the quality level is amazing, all the way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStainGlass Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Mandarins have the best concept out of the 12-15 IMO. If done right they can easily take the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corps8294 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'd probably put the Madison Scouts, Crossmen, and even the Blue Stars on notice. Just look back at how the Blue Stars surged from 14th to 8th back in '08. It's very possible the Mandarins could pull that off as well. I was very impressed and pleasantly surprised by them, last year. They are no longer performing Division II and III style shows and they have definitely proven that they are ready to move up to the next tier of Division I. So, by guesstimate, who drops out? I would say Crossmen drop out of finals by the slimmest of margins. The Madison Scouts settle in at 12th, Mandarins at 11th, and the Blue Stars barely above them in 10th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tad_MMA Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Reviewing 2008-1017, whenever the Blue Stars do well, Madison doesn't. I don't know what the Wisconsin recruiting factor is (other than female membership), but keep an eye on those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I just hope the 12th place corps is the corps qualified/deserving to achieve that placement. There have been a couple of instances in the past where 12 and 13 should have been reversed imo. Beyond this I hope the corps in the hunt for 12th who entertains me the most gets in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
