Strange break for the intermission. Trying to be fair or something? I grew up around here and we always called it Catholic corners.

Amazed&Stunned Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 In a drum corps world of electronic and immediate informational access, the next three nights are huge. Information will be available to all. The new trends will begin. Here's hoping the powers that be made sure the best of the best are judging tonight. The South tour is pretty much as it is. I would love to see the Crusaders take a run at Crown but, it is difficult to imagine. Hopefully Boston's percussion line straightened out a few things with some rehearsal days. We do have Phantom and Spirit. I see Phantom taking charge here! And the West is prep time for the Blue Devils and Blue Knights. Both corps could benefit from the rehearsal time, the lack of pressure, and the ability to redo and restructure as needed. My view for the Midwest -- FIREWORKS. SCV vs the Bluecoats -- SCV claims the front slot for the last 5 weeks of the season while the Blue Devils wait, change and clean. Cavaliers - They are being underappreciated. Let's see them get 2 points from the top and 4 points from those behind Cadets/Blue Stars - Blue Stars come out of the three days with a clear lead And let's not forget Academy - There is definite production value here. I see them as the 2019 version of the Mandarins! The West Coast adds another finalist to the top 12. Too bad this one is not on FLO. We will have to wait until Sunday evening. For those in the area, a nice three day set of shows that would be well worth a field trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still want to know how a Irish kid became Abbot of a group of Czechs and Slovaks after the Latrobe Germans passed them along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfmninjaa Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I think bloo will win this matchup just based on the near 2 point spread them amd SCV are at. Time will tell whether the score is an actual representation of these 2 corps. posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjordansc Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 DCI judges are pretty good at getting the corps in the right groupings by this point in the season. They are also very predictable. I am betting SCV and Bluecoats are within a half point, somewhere around 83/83.5. Cavaliers will be about 2.5 points back, followed by Cadets and Blue Stars within a few tenths of each other close to 78. I am looking forward to this weekend of shows. Not so much because of the top two, but to watch the Blue Stars/Cadets matchup. I think by Sunday we will know if Blue Stars are ready to take down a corps they have not beaten head to head since 1980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
