craiga Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 36 minutes ago, Triple Forte said: Thank you so much for getting the gist of what I was posting. I was not suggesting BD should drop to fourth just because they are BD. In my example they would finish fourth because their “performance” earned them 4th. I called out team Concord specifically again NOT because I am a hater or this or that or anything else. I mentioned them because if they dropped in placement it would be a bigger shift ie. shake up then seeing a 7th place corps from 2019 drop out of the top 12 ; in my opinion. That would demonstrate a healthy competitive environment. IMO Or, a shakeup like a 12th place corps in 2016 finishing 6th in 2017. Anything can happen.

Hook'emCavies Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I'm think I'm going to stick to my guns and say Cavies have a shot at finishing 1st. It's really not out of the question. However, I don't know if BD is going to drop to 4th. Is it possible? Absolutely, no doubt about it. Just not likely. Plus, you also have to give credit to the corps that finished in the top 3 in brass. Honestly, The Cavaliers brass has improved a great deal. Truthfully, they have been on the up since 2016. I'm excited to see where Monte Mast can lead The Cavaliers. Heck, I loved what he did while I was at KF. However, Cavies need to improve in some categories. I would say marching technique needs to be a bit crisper. Basically, fundamentals need to be hammered in. I want to see percussion and guard finish in the top 3 as well. It'll be hard, but it's not impossible. To dare is to do 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeffeory Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Any other corps who basically took a year off of performing and touring who have a ton of you predict that that corps would take a step back competitively, but no.... A bunch of people seem to think that BD won't skip a beat... Color me amused... I think the corps that actually fielded and went to Indy have better chance for competitive success this year. Looking forward to Bluecoats, Cavaliers, and Boston to do well. Thinking Crown will too. For me, SCV and BD are wildcards, especially with their staff changes. I could see both in 4th and 5th... Every corps goes through cycles. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been watching The Cavaliers 2021 show and that hornline... whew. Calm, focused air flow, and they played effortlessly. It was soooo focused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were so good. Best line since 2002. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% certain that they will do everything in their power to fix that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you in August. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully, BD is going to put out another fantastic show. Overall, I would say they are going to be just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
