Terri Schehr 14,498 Report post Posted August 16 1. Bluecoats (not because I’m a supporter) 2. Boston Crusaders (closely behind) 3. Cavaliers (closely behind) i only choose a top three every year. Last year’s list was the same except The Cadets were in Cavies place. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkrepps 1,122 Report post Posted August 16 (edited) I need some parameters or I might run amok. Finalists, Semifinalists, or any Corps (world or open) that came to Prelims? What's the maximum number we can list? Etc... Edited August 16 by kkrepps 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeRapp 4,528 Report post Posted August 16 (edited) 1. Bluecoats (despite not being a Beatles fan at all, it’s another 12 minutes of drum corps design perfection) 2. Cavaliers (costumes, brass performances, and the ballad) 3. SCV (only because of the music—did not like the concept or the staging) 4. Knights (awesome percussion and brass books) 5. Blue Stars (amazing show from end zone to end zone, weird concept that doesn’t really work but I respect their effort) 6. Crown (brass performances are worth the price of admission, but still a head scratcher as far as design concept and visual) 7. Boston ( I just enjoy seeing them climb the ladder) 8. Mandarins (a total commitment to mood and concept) 9. Pacific Crest (made the most of their talent, second best ballad of the season) 10. Blue Devils (technical excellence, best use of props by a mile, interesting concept, sticking to their knitting from a design standpoint—just still feel disconnected from their performances—sterile) 10. Colts (really strong brass line and switching uniforms was cool—but worn out with the hell concepts in DCI) Edited August 16 by MikeRapp 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
