Guard has never been a strength for Troopers in last 10 years and visual generally in that time has been their weakness. The staff they have now seems serious about competing and improving and I trust they are building to improve visual. Just not this season. Fair. I'd say the visual *program* this year is the most sophisticated in . . . probably ever, and the musicians are performing it to a level I've never seen at Troopers. So they are definitely improving their visual overall, but in order to get ful value out of it they'll need to figure out how to get the guard up the curve. I have faith.

BD jump seems a little too high and should be closer the 2-4. (They are so good!). Mandarins should be ahead of Cadets. HELL YES COLTS Blue Stars - Dang, I don’t know if anyone saw them in 11th going into finals. I don’t know if I see them going up tomorrow. AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE TOP 12 honestly the spread is because of the flip flopping in captions between 2-4. if Crown were a solid 1st or 2nd across the board, they have a higher score. but with the sheets bouncing all over with them...and Crown's 6th in percussion, that keeps those 3 tight and pushes BD further out ahead 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have work to do in all visual caption but their marching drill has usually been solid and other movement aspects probably need technical work. And somehow the actual visual effects are really striking, especially last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When 2 out of the 3 performance parts are in 4th place, it seems messed up that you are nearly 1.5 points ahead. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
