hostrauser Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Much like the bowl of petunias falling from a great height, the netizens of DCP see the another Hostrauser Power Rankings thread and think, "oh no, not again." Take these with a grain of salt, and remember the cardinal rule of my rankings: if you disagree with me you're wrong and your corps is actually very bad. Projected score estimates for DCI Prelims (8/8/19) 97.978 Bluecoats 97.739 Blue Devils 97.486 Santa Clara Vanguard 96.643 Carolina Crown 95.651 Boston Crusaders 93.315 Cavaliers 90.716 Blue Knights 90.623 Blue Stars 89.817 Cadets 88.736 Mandarins 88.469 Crossmen 88.048 Phantom Regiment 86.283 Spirit of Atlanta 84.293 Colts 83.483 Academy 81.390 Pacific Crest 81.053 Madison Scouts 79.312 Troopers 78.553 Music City 75.281 Jersey Surf 74.944 Gold 74.059 Spartans 73.970 Legends 72.570 Genesis 69.888 Golden Empire 69.663 Louisiana Stars 69.087 Cascades 68.820 River City Rhythm 68.413 Southwind 68.329 7th Regiment 65.098 Shadow 64.658 Guardians 61.601 Colt Cadets 58.778 Raiders 58.310 Heat Wave 54.199 Les Stentors 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePlanets Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I think the line for Semis is quite reasonable as Gold, Legends and the Spartans have all been recently featured and Jersey Surf is having a nice season. Rough projection for the Cascades though. Looks good to me! Top 3 extremely tight. Will be extremely interesting to see BD join in on the head to head fun this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Kudos for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference, which has me thinking of what a drum corps Hitchhiker's show might be like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you recall those fantasy DCP threads whereby homers get their Corps into Finals by concocting outrageous scenarios? But I hope you're right! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 2003 prelims, Spirit was 14th, 1.55 points behind the 12th-place Blue Knights. The following night at Semis, Spirit passed Blue Knights and Glassmen to claim the 12th spot in finals by a scant .15 point. So yes, never say never, and it's not over until the fat lady sings!

KVG_DC Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Oh VK. I do miss the no holds barred approach to "what crazy thing is going to happen next?" shows you did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything was thrown into that show except the kitchen sink. Wait... was there a sink and I just missed it? Biggest crowd reaction for a 10th place show in DCI history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
