So these things could happen this weekend...


Recommended Posts

We could have 5 different corps winning the caption awards-

Guard- Boston

Drums- SCV

GE- Bluecoats

Vis- BD

Brass- Crown

Has that ever happened before?

If Mandarins make Finals again (and it’s hard to imagine that not happening at this point), they’ll be the first corps to repeat a first time or extremely isolated Finals appearance since....who and when???? Breaking the Cascades/Academy/Troopers curse.

I'd put Crossmen in that category. They were out of finals from 05-11 after a 15 year run. Made it back in 12, out for 13 and then in finals last 5 years.

Should Phantom place 12th, they will join Madison as the only corps to have placed 1 thru 12 in DCI finals.

Not so. Bluecoats accomplished 1-12 in 2016.  1 was the only place they hadn’t finished until that yeear.

The 2019 Mandarins would be the first corps since the 2000 Boston Crusaders to make Finals again following a first time Finals appearance. I think that's a huge accomplishment given the meteoric rise of talent and competitiveness in DCI within the past 5 years or so.

Good catch. (I am sure Phantom is hoping that they end up in 11th and not join Madison and Bluecoats in this exclusive club.)

We might have a first time Semifinalist if Louisiana Stars make it in or Southwind returning after well over a decade if their scores hold up.  

Louisiana Stars starting in 2014 and Southwind basicallly restartng from scratch the that year too.

6th season in existence and possibly busting into semis.
