I could lose the Crossmen or Mandarins and still sleep at night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i miss my Sailors and Marines dearly. My son just got a contract couple weeks ago to march with Gold in the Contra line. I get to trade in my Chief Cover for a DCI Dad hat lol. New type of traveling this summer lol. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenoris4Jazz Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Alright, alright... I guess since I have all this analytical data at my disposal, I should throw in here. Tier I - Title contenders Devils, Bluecoats, Vanguard, Crown All 4 have the organization, the finances, and the recruiting to win a title after 2 years off of competing Tier II - Guaranteed Finalists Cavies, Boston, Blue Knights, Cadets History says they won't fall lower than 12; I wouldn't have included Cadets here before seeing their '21 show Tier III - In contention for a Finals spot Blue Stars, Mandarins, Crossmen, Phantom, Spirit They each have at least one issue that could keep them from making Finals, but only one will come up short Tier IV - Outside looking in Everyone else Pacific Crest had a great shot at becoming a Finalist in 2020, but two years of damaged income will likely set them back a few years. The Academy has been there before, but the last few years have made me question their ability to repeat. Can the Colts jump 4 or 5 corps above them? Odds are they can't. Same with Madison. Now comes the surprise... darkhorse candidates to make Finals: Blue Devils B and Vanguard Cadets. If anyone has a rough summer, these two could climb over a lot of backs and take a spot on Saturday night. The support is there, could they pull it off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be an unpopular statement, but I am not sure that every Corps from 2021 will have the financials in place to compete in 2022. Happy to be wrong.
