kkrepps Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Folks, we need to stop procrastinating on this. There's a 2 day break and then we're in the home stretch and it'll be too late to start. Please submit your speculation on this thread (who's in finals, placement battles, caption winners, etc...) I hate these things so I usually don't bother, but someone needs to do it. The judges need input or they can't do their job. This is how I think it will play out ultimately (rough guess): 1. 67.125 Jubal 12. 63.925 Shadow 11. 67.075 Golden Empire 10. 69.700 Southwind 9. 70.750 River City Rhythm 8. 71.275 Louisiana Stars 7. 71.875 Guardians 6. 73.313 7th Regiment 5. 75.713 Spartans 4. 76.350 Legends 3. 76.750 Gold 2. 79.600 Blue Devils B 1. 80.075 Vanguard Cadets Brass: Vanguard Cadets Color Guard: Blue Devils B Percussion: Vanguard Cadets Visual: Blue Devils B GE: Vanguard Cadets Edited August 8, 2018 by kkrepps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkrepps Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 It's really tight this year in several groupings. The top two VC and BDB tighter than I expected. Then Spartans, Legends, Gold within a point spread of each other. Then RCR, Golden Empire, Guardians, LA Stars, 7th Reg, Southwind all tightly competitive. Colt Cadets, Raiders, Shadow likely competing for a finals spot. See if anything big happens tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I believe the method used to determine the order for Monday's Prelims is to average all the scores from the Friday and Saturday shows. If that's true, then I think this is how much each corps would need to outscore the corps above it tonight to move up in the standings: Vanguard Cadets: +0.00 Blue Devils B: +0.90 Spartans: +2.35 Legends: +0.10 Gold: +0.55 River City Rhythm: +4.75 Guardians: +0.45 Golden Empire: +0.25 7th Regiment: +0.25 Louisiana Stars: +0.05 Southwind: +1.45 Shadow: +4.95 Heat Wave: +0.65 Colt Cadets: +0.35 Raiders: +0.35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 In other words, the groupings are: I. Vanguard Cadets + Blue Devils B II. Spartans + Legends + Gold III. River City Rhythm + Guardians + Golden Empire + 7th Regiment + Louisiana Stars IV. Southwind (V. Jubal) VI. Shadow + Heat Wave + Colt Cadets + Raiders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow + Heat Wave + Colt Cadets + Raiders I have flashbacks of last year when Southwind rolled over two corps and moved up. This could easily happen again for one or several corps with this grouping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmit26 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Forecast is not looking great for Monday in Michigan City. Any idea what the rain contingency would be? Everyone advances to Tuesday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
