Big Bird Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 14 minutes ago, GREENBLUE said: Cavies in 11th??? lol….have you ever watched drum corps before? You do realize that the corps lowest placement in 35+Years was 9th in 2015 and that was because 90% of the corps caught a stomach virus. They had to drop out of competitions because there weren’t enough members to field a show. They’ve only not been in the Top Six four times since 1985. what’s drum corps? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see though I heard Crown tonight live and I predict no one will beat them in brass this year. I repeat no one will beat them in Brass, as they play more notes in part two than the entire Boston show combined. Their book is insane and only can be compared to 2012 from a level of difficulty perspective. Sorry if this is a strong opinion or it hurts feelings. -Carry on! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown's show is not only insanely difficult (visually and musically), but also very entertaining. The guard is stunning as I predict they will be top 3 for sure. Their rifle and saber work is very clean and difficult. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the summer of Drum Corps, and welcome to DCP as a new poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karuna Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Not gonna revise my predictions (this IS the pre-season prediction thread right?) but SCV certainly did impress tonight. As for the silliness above (Cavies in 11 ) , I can only say: uh huh uh huh uh huh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, good, so yeah, Crown will be getting the Ott again this year, even if it’s dirty to begin the season, they also definitely have the demand few corps can touch on a good year. I haven’t heard a lick from crown this year, but it still simply seems they won’t be touched this year in that department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Crusaders (win brass, percussion) 3. Blue Devils (win visual) 4. Carolina Crown 5. Santa Clara Vanguard 6. Blue Stars 7. Mandarins 8. Cadets 9. Blue Knights 10. Phantom Regiment 11. Cavaliers 12. Academy 13. Madison Scouts 14. Crossmen 15. Colts 16. Troopers 17. Music City 18. Pacific Crest 19. Genesis 20. Jersey Surf I would so love to see the Blue Stars finish in that spot; unfortunately, that's just a dream prediction that you have posted. I was at their rehearsal, last night, and they have a lot of work to do just to place 8th, this year. They have a really nice show; but it's not Top 7, sadly. In reality, and depending on how the rest of the competition is; I'm thinking more like 9th or 10th for them. Their hornline and guard will keep them from finishing in 11th or 12th. No hate; just realistic observations. I hope I'm proven wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
