Looking forward to this show because the corps have had a little more practice after the grueling North Cali events. This will help see how much they have fixed and if they are keeping their momentum going!  Items I'm excited to see:

1.  Debut of Seattle Cascades - really excited to see what they put on the field with their return

2.  Can PC continue to trim BKs lead?

3.  Will The Academy close the gap on both PC and BK.  

4.  What little gems has BD added in the 2 days they've had to play with the show.

Biggest story for me tonight, is seeing if PC continues to rundown BK at an alarming rate. 

July 7th in Fresno, the gap was 3.9 points. Now it's one point. 

Also if BK can fix their CG woes. Getting beat convincingly in consecutive nights in Guard by three OC Corps, BDB/Gold/Impulse was shocking to say the least, and i didnt see that coming.

Also, the placement of the scores announcement in the schedule is definitely incorrect. If I had to guess, id bet it’s supposed to be at 9:40pm. 

Yeah, seemed a little weird to me too...but I just cut and paste from DCI.org.

I definitely waited as long as I could to make this thread as your titles are way wittier and I was struggling for anything good with this show title.

Yeah, it seems BK's achilles is the guard right now.  In my predictions I've always said right now given what we know of the shows that BK controls their own destiny more than any of the other corps fighting for top 12 (brass book, brass sound, reputation, and etc.).  But we've learned from Crown that one category can be the difference of 2 and 3 spots in final standings (cough, their percussion, cough).

I'd have gone with "En(drum)core Show Tonight".  But that smacks of trying too hard to be clever.

This is Battalion's debut too isn't it?  I'm interested in seeing where they are with their show. They could content for an Open Class medal.

Yeah, as it stands scores are scheduled to be announced about 2/3 the way through BK’s show. So if anyone ever wanted “proof” of slotting, there ya go: the score was already set before BK could even finish their performance. 😂

You know.  If someone ever REALLY wanted to go for DCIs throat with a show...I mean even harder than Animal Farm or Ayala Percussion (WGI 2017)...they'd do a show where narration starts announcing scores for the show based on estimated growth from the competing corps' previous shows and see if they can nail the numbers...Heh.
