mjyaub Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 How about giving some open class some love with predictions. 1. SCVC Early loss to BDB woke them. Probably just biding their time. 2. BDB Back were they left off in 2019 3. Gold Stay healthy. This show is well designed. Musically outstanding 4. Spartans Good show but not as good as 2019. Plus competition from the west is back. 5. Battalion Can only see this corps rising and giving west more power. 6. Guardians Strong start with a fun show that keeps interest. 7. Legends Smaller corps this year but could be 6th. 8. Louisiana Stars Only corps I have seen so far. 9. River City Really liked early viewing. Glad they have not compromised on look. 10. Southwind Smaller version. OK show. Good guard. 11. 7 Regiment Rebuilding it seems. I hope they continue to improve with what they have. 12. Colt Cadets Great little show early on. If Columbians and Golden Empire were in the mix, Columbians in 5 and Golden Empire 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Columbians and Golden Empire were in the mix, Columbians in 5 and Golden Empire 10 Seems like a reasonable prediction with what we know so far. It's so hard to predict how OC is going to pan out in the end since there is no head to head until the end of season. I'll comment and say that 3rd place is a toss up, but I think MAYBE Spartans will beat Gold. They've been around a long time, and have a history of prevailing in the end when it's a close call. I've seen both this year, however only Spartans in person, Gold on Flo so not a good comparison. Other than that, I'd put Southwind above LA Stars and RCR.

74rku5 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I'm a parent to a mellow in Battallion. I'm *thrilled* they earned a 72 last night. Highest score they've ever received. I'm so excited for them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Helloooooooo Gold! Monday and Tuesday are gonna be some fun watching. I always enjoy Open Class finals. Given the number of corps fielding this year, do you think they'll give everyone a show slot on Sat with anyone not in the top 12 being exhibition? Prelim schedule is set.
