I predict the online hype before Thursday will hit record levels....and so will the doom and gloom an hour after scores are announced

I never said Boston, did I? I said a corps a bit more northern than the Carolinas, which could mean Bluecoats, Cavaliers, Music City, Boston, or Cadets. Forgive me if I missed anyone.

But...since you tried to be snarky, I'll bite.

Here's my thoughts on Boston moving up.

Breaking top 3 is different than moving up to 5th. Crown was a point and a half ahead of Boston, with Bluecoats almost a point and a half ahead of Crown. Now, thanks to Bostons new staff they went from 12th to 5th, but as multiple people on here have said before, breaking top 3 is difficult. Even top 4 is difficult when that pack is between a point to 4 points ahead of you. Boston was on 5th island last year with the 2 corps a point around them.

Crown was ahead by almost .8 in GE.

Guard put Boston ahead in Visual, but only by .3.

Percussion helped Boston out in Music, but music still drug behind by around .8.

Let alone the point spread between them and the top 3.

I realize that Boston has become somewhat of a DCI darling amongst the fans, but I'm sorry that I think Boston isn't realistically automatically breaking into the top 3 this year. Again, its my opinion, but if anyone else will be breaking top 3 this year, it's going to be the Cavaliers, Crown, or the Cadets. They know what it takes to get there, have been there, and will be fighting to get back there. I also believe they have the upper hand staff wise and concept wise. 

Also, please don't come at me with the whole "we haven't seen all these corps" because theres only 4 of the top 12 from last year that I haven't seen (and don't bombard me with video requests either).

Wow.  I never mentioned you dude....either directly or by implication.  In any event, breaking into the top 3 for Boston will NOT be automatic. It will be difficult...just as going from 12th to 6th in one season was. Just as getting into the top 5 last year was. You do realize that the various spreads you listed from 2018 have nothing to do with next week, right?  But by all means, keep up the narrative that Boston can't possibly go any higher.  Sooner or later, David DOES take out Goliath. Maybe that's the issue. Perhaps deep down some people actually sense that BAC is about to disrupt the status quo. Have a wonderful day.

In the world of DCI, Boston still has one corps they have never beaten.  It may take a big stone to do it, but it's a worthy quest.

Bored so...

Here's a summary of DCP's predictions.  Data is from May 1st to the present.  Only took the first 15 spots.  

corps     avg place
Blue Devils    1.7
SCV    2.1
Bluecoats    3.4
Crown    3.7
Boston    4.3
Cavaliers    5.9
Cadets    6.9
Blue Stars    8.5
Blue Knights    9.2
Mandarins    9.8
Phantom    10.9
Crossmen    11.4
Spirit    12.5
Madison    13.7
Colts    13.7
Academy    14.1
Music city    15.0

1. SCV

2. Bluecoats / BD

3. Bluecoats / BD

4. Cavaliers

5. Boston

6. Crown

7. Cadets

8. Blue Knights

9. Mandarins

10. Blue Stars

11. Phantom

12. The Academy

 

I think those top three are going to have the same dog fight that they had last year, with SCV consistently getting the better of everyone in most captions.  They were organizationally solid last year, throughout.  Wasn't a fluke.  If the kids really love their show, then they (SCV) will be tough to compete with.

I have SCV, BD, Bloo, and BAC in my top four. I am not sure where any of them land in that grouping.

You mentioned what I had said in the Crown thread, meaning you tried to be snarky and call me out. Thats fine. I didn't say they couldn't, I said I just don't see top 3 or 4 happening this season. The scores I listed don't have anything to do with this year, but those are the scores on which to build upon for this season. 

Based upon what everyone is thinking of Crown these days, perhaps they are the David that takes out the Goliaths. Just all depends on who you're pulling for.

Deep down, beneath the surface, Boston doesn't bother me. Lol.

 

Have a blessed day!
