I saw a video of Spirit of Atlanta's preview show and I have to say I was very very VERY impressed with their hornline. Their visual design and execution seems a bit off for me to consider them as a potential finalist, but hot #### are they putting out some SOUND.

Did you forget your own corps? Or could you just not bring yourself to type 17 next to their name?

4... Bluecoats... they wont be far off the top three, I just think the top three will be better. From what I have seen the corps is good, but I do have to question how much of that brass sound is being generated by the brass line or the two dudes on the mixing board.

Bloo Brass™️ is POWERFUL this year, and are we really surprised? Kevin LeBoeuf had some powerful hornlines with the Cavaliers, so it really isn't surprising that he would have brought that with him to the Bluecoats.

I know someone’s got to be in 4th but CROWN?! Surprised that that’s such a common take. I guess we’ll see. 

Frankly any of the top 4 in fourth place will feel unjust to me. Still — CROWN?! Idk about all that…

I uhhh….I don’t know at this point anymore, top 4 is bringing it. The more I watch Crown’s show, the more I dig it, very much true to what they are from a musical identity standpoint, their performance of their material will be hard to top, it’s a game of captions where no one knows where corps have an edge for sure until they meet🤷‍♂️
Even if they ultimately get 4th, it’ll be a **** good 4th
