Yeah, that's what I was basing it on. It's tough for me to differentiate demand at the extreme end like these top guards, but tonight Crown's guard just absolutely clicked while Boston seemed a bit shaky throughout. I think Crown is substantially better and ahead of where they were last year, so they're going to make this interesting one way or another.

Crown guard is having a great year.

For the sake of the pre-scores guessing, I've got Crown, then Bloo, then BAC. Crown 80.x and the other two 78/79. 

Now let's see them all pop 80, eh? 🙂

BRB, gonna go buy a scratchie.

No, you have clearly stated on other threads too that you're not a fan. And that's totally fine. But please don't make us have to read your negative critiques every time they perform on Flo. 

Oh, so because it's Bluecoats we can't comment negative things, but with Crown and others we can? As long as they're not the favorite, right? Thanks for the clarification. Duly noted!

Corps have to have at least 3 scores in order to show up on the rankings, which are based on the average of the 3 most recent scores.

Thanks.

My rankings tonight are BC, Crown, then BAC. BC GE is on a different level. But Crown had best Guard, Brass, and maybe percussion which puts them ahead of Boston.

I don’t see a ton more room for BC to grow GE; it’s tapped out and already borderline too much of a good thing. Crown and BAC can close the gap there a bit and run up captions then they are able to run for top 2.

I disagree on Bloo being formulaic musically, although you could definitely point out motifs and soundbytes from most Bloo years since 2014 and someone coming in blind could instantly identify Bloo when they’re triggered by a certain lick in their pit, in the brass. A *snap* “that’s most definitely Bloo right there” if you were to take any Bloo fan and have them listen for the first time this year’s show. I don’t think they’re formulaic in their presentation, as their musical variety lends them to sound very fresh year-to-year!

10000% agree just speaking to the criticisms 🫡

Wow. Crown has the edge when it comes to cleanliness. We’ll see if they can buck the trend of peaking early
