I'd like to give your feeble attempt at jocularity high praise, however the unnecessary addition to the previous posters astute and humorous observation comes across as pedantic, leaving the viewer to feel as if the commentary offered is a tedious read. 😂 ( judge effect, the big words come in handy) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love to see them back in Finals someday soon. Seemingly always knocking on the door. Edited May 23 by Fran Haring Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boxingfred 1,088 Report post Posted May 28 (edited) My 2019 Picks- I don't know. My 2018 Picks: Posted May 31, 2018 Devils Have a slightly better than good chance to win. If this was a Threepeat year I'd put them in 2nd or 3rd. (2nd) SCV, Has a good chance to win. Awesome show last year but, that was last year. Added drill writing god to their staff. Should be good! (1st) Crown, Has a good chance to win. now the percussion situation fixed. Always great brass, Excellent color guard, and show design god. puts them up there. (4th) Bluecoats, Have a good chance to win. Can't wait to see what their brilliant design team come up with this year. Saw It! BLUECOATS ARE FIYAH! (3rd) Cavaliers, Has been steadily improving I see them as the 5th C in the Carolina, Concord, Canton, Clara crowd (6th) Boston, Should be better but, How much better? Top 3 better? (5th) Cadets, After the recent scandal and change of schedule and show restructuring, I have no clue. I'm sure the staff and Alumni will motivate the kids to be their best. Their staff is good enough to pull off something in the top 6. How will the judges react? (7th) Bk, Very entertaining shows lately. Can they top 5 in captions? (9th) Phantom, has always been a wait and see corps for me. they can land anywhere 5-10. (11th) Blue Stars, are where BK used to be a couple of years ago, floating between 8 -11 (8th) Madison, IMO had the ugliest show in drum corps last year but, it got them back into the finals. (16th) Crossmen, I thought Xmen were better than their scores showed all last year (12th) Mandarin, I thought Mandarin should have made finals over Madison ( no hate for Madison ) (10th) Academy, I always root for Academy to make finals (15th) Colts, I always root for Academy to make finals (14th) Edited May 28 by boxingfred 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
