karuna Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 My prediction: BD edges out Crown in brass tonight. (You can thank Mark Hoskins now ). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 My thoughts: there could be movement in 2-4. I’d love to see movement in 1-4 but the 2-4 is more realistic. There could be movement in 5-7 with Cavies becoming a fly in the ointment. I think Troopers will be closer to Colts in score than to Blue Stars.

Cappybara Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 This isn’t a prediction but more of a wish: Phantom jumping up to 5th with the performance of their lives tonight. I introduced my girlfriend to drum corps for the first time last night. She absolutely LOVED phantom (with Bloo being 2nd favorite and BD 3rd, though she thought BD was the best overall performance). She was practically speechless after Phantom’s ballad Wherever they place, this Phantom show will go down as one of my favorites by them in the Bb horn era 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAtenhut Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Can't believe tonight is it! One of the most exciting years in a long time. So many amazing shows, and the battles throughout all of the "tiers" have been epic til the end. Wishing all of the corps the best tonight! And let me be the first to say no matter who wins or where your homer corps places, let's play nice tonight. 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BD goes from 4th to 1st in brass, especially against the near perfection of Crowns brass, I will freaking lose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjoakes Posted August 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2023 It's been a good year for drum corps overall, though I am sad for any struggles by individual corps. It's worth noting that in 2016 - five competitive years ago? (ignoring 2020 and 2021) - Mandarins, Troopers, Colts, and BAC were finished on Friday night. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, they are "Trained Professionals" lol. Go Mandarins! They held that last note a loooooong time last night. One of the guys in the spinners was so stoked he clearly wanted more! 😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
