ouooga Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Well Spirit, thanks for an incredible season and a magnificent show. Crossmen, beat Phantom. Phantom, get a better design in '19. Mandarins, stay in 10, I still want the Blue Knights ahead of you. And wow, I'm super surprised Colts topped Academy! Both corps should be immensely proud of their season though! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quijeros Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Well, the folks saying Mandarins would leapfrog Phantom called it. It was more of a triple jump over Phantom. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few with 4, but no one with 6. My 350 strong college marching band the Pride of West Virginia used to play "drum corps greatest hits." It was a great time since I never marched in a drum corps. We essentially marched two drum corps and played to both sides of the 65,000 seat stadium. Our drum line marched nine bass drums. That would be a full octave and we would find a monster to march the impact bass drum. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake W. Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Spirit out by over a point and a half; a pretty judicious margin. I'm fine with that --- Crossmen were on fire and I didn't feel Spirit was as much. Academy & Colts another point behind Spirit and very close to each other, I can get behind that as well. Troop leap frogs SCVC, I can REALLY get behind that! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouooga Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 So what do you think Mandarins are going to do tomorrow? Not actually at Finals, I'm talking about life, right after. 2 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den8uml Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Thats a great score for Troopers! We didn’t need a judge for us to see that they outperformed SCVC today! Edited August 10, 2018 by Den8uml 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barigirl78 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Nearly a 2 point jump by Mandarins. Wow. The Crossmen have a chance in finals to take that 11th spot that they had last year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
