AlexL Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 7 minutes ago, George Dixon said: I personally agree with the placements without the benefit of seeing the corps tonight - Mandarins are very good however it is interesting how lemming like the judging community can be - a week ago Cadets were beating these corps and now suddenly the judges are having BS three point them - three points is a mile in DCI distance its a bit dramatic of a shift - volcanic explosions have been more subtle imo crossmen will be ahead of Cadets in ATL imo Much as i hate to say it, i wouldnt be surprised to see the margins shrink back down once more corps come into play. The large competitive gap between Blue Stars and Blue Devils may have helped Stars float upward a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hit 87 five days before Atlanta in 2010. Today is three days before Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those moments where we really feel the loss of full retreats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossmen, PR and Spirit are all within a 3.0 point space. cadets may fit in that battle too imo chances are music may save them but competing for 12th is not out of the question 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones close are July 25, 2009 then July 26, 2010. 2008 was July 30. Last year (2018) it took Blue Stars until Aug 2 to break 87.
