Why do the Mandarins "need" to change their name? And I am assuming you meant Blue Knights in 10th and not Bluecoats (one word btw, not Blue Coats). And how do we know Blue Knights show is better than the Colts/Troopers when BK hasn't even performed yet? They don't debut until tomorrow night. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishing both fifth and tenth would be so on brand for Bluecoats… Edited July 7, 2023 by MikeRapp 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillis35 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Still too difficult to say for sure how things will finish come Finals. The top 4 corps are truly outstanding and all of them have music books I love. Boston's Brass, Percussion, and Guard are just amazing. Same with BD. Bluecoats have killer percussion and the brass needs some cleaning but will get there. Their visual and GE is incredible. Carolina has one of those brass sections to die for. Percussion is truly excellent too. Love the show and music and even the drill. We will need to see where they take the total visual/GE program. It's just a fantastic race with the top 4. In terms of 5th and 6th place I think I give Phantom and Cadets an edge in grabbing those spots in some order. But I am not rulling out the Mandarins, Cavaliers, or Blue Stars. From 10th place to 15th place or so is a complete tossup but Troopers look soooooo GOOD right now. They will put pressure on a few corps above them. It's a great summer. Praying for no rain outs and not too much heat as the corps begin heading to Texas in another week or so. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillis35 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I think the Cavaliers show is the one I am watching most in large part because there is so much they can do with this production. With the right tweaks and adjustments I believe they have the kind of music book that can draw a lot of emotion providing the visual design takes off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
