Will that choice haunt them in the race for the finals? I doubt it. First, I do not believe it is the first time a harmonica is being used, though if a harmonica has been used in the past, it was not as featured as the Troopers' solo this year. Second, with all the technology available today, something in the pit could probably recreate the sound and the soloist could just go through the motions.

Someone I know who had sons who marched with Crossmen years back, is friends with a key staff member, and keeps close eyes on the corps, claimed once the newer members got a bit more experience and were seasoned a bit, the corps would soar and could possibly make finals. It turns out she may be correct. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Flo being my only viewing source, I know it may not be the most accurate measure, however, I can say I noticed HUGE improvements with the Crossmen both musically and visually over the last week+, so it didn't surprise me to see them pass PC and BK, who I did not think made the big improvements I hoped to see. I think 12th is a 3 horse race now and will be fun to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the fighting groups I enjoy Spirit the most with PC in second. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, their shows are better than the others, and quite significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAtenhut Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 I'm not one to read too much into scores for these smaller shows like last night, but this may be a 4 horse race now. Spirit is making its move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's coming from someone who has been a fan for decades and has a family connection to the corps. But they have really impressed me with their growth, and they are my favorite for 12th right now. Bones will be watching over them in Allentown and Indy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
