B-Flat Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I am predicting that the 2022 DCI season will be intensely competitive. I also anticipate most of the shows will be sold out. My thoughts on placements are below: 1. Blue Devils 2. Crown 3. Bluecoats 4. Santa Clara / Boston 5. Boston /Santa Clara 6. Cavies 7. Bluestars 8. Cadets / Phantom 9. Phantom /Cadets 10. Blue Knights 11. Mandarins 12. Spirit of Atlanta 13. Pacific Crest 14. Crossmen 15. The Academy 16. Colts 17. Madison 18. Genesis 19. Music City 20. Jersey Surf 21. Cascades I caveat this prediction by saying its just a meaningless prediction and I would love more folks on here to add theirs.

Jeff Ream Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 whoever has the highest score of whatever scoring system used after everything is added, multiplied/divided and penalties accounted for wins. (insert corps here) will be viewed as being screwed (insert corps here)'s fans will be considered smug (insert corps here)'s fans will be considered honks (insert judge here) will be clueless/biased i am sure i am missing some, but it's been 2 years i am out of practice 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCP............Prosperie is best the best judge ever! He calls it likes he see's and hears it 100% of the time! Prosperie for President!!! 2019...........Prosperie gives BD drums a 10 in achievement, BD holds off the Amazing Powerhouse that is The Bluecoats. DCP............Prosperie knows nothing! He is on the BD payroll! He "ALWAYS" puts BD first! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllianaLancerContra Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Some Corps will place higher than they did in 2019. Some Corps will place lower than they did in 2019. Some Corps will place the same as the did in 2019. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind Regards Overall I am in agreement with you at least as far as grouping. Your top six will in all likelihood be the top six and I would have Bloo and BD in the top three, but I think whether BAC, SCV, or Crown is in the top three is up for grabs. Though I wish Crown had traveled to Indy so I could see their show live, I was impressed with what I saw and my understanding is that last year’s show was planned with a view towards this year. BAC’s show was the show closest to what a corps would have done competitively, at least in my opinion, and to me it demonstrates their growth. SCV has Michael Gaines which is always a strength and while Cavies at 6th is possible, they can be surprising. Your choices for 7-10 would be similar to mine, though I think for Cadets and Phantom, we’ll be seeing their shows improve over 2019 and predict better things for the future. I think I would have Pacific Crest in finals over Spirit returning to finals based on last summer, but I wouldn’t bet the farm either. I heard quite a few members of PC marched with Blue Devils in prior years but went to PC so they could march. If they didn’t age out, they’ll probably return to BD. As far as wild cards, Genesis was pretty strong last summer and with Music City the corps attempted something different and I felt they worked hard at improving it, especially seeing their first show in Quincy and their final performance in Indy. It will be interesting to see where they end up this summer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to your former student! I think Cadets move up, but are still in the 7-10 range. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He "ALWAYS" puts BD first! he is the best guy out there. i personally disagree with 19's call, even after hearing his tapes for both groups, but he was there and i was watching on Flo. i'll defer to his judgement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
