musicteacher Posted January 17 Posted January 17 The blogger's predictions had one fact wrong. In 2024 Colts were 9th, not 11th. Quote
boxingfred Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) SCV- I think SCV is back to its pre-covid/reorganization level. Bluecoats- Championship level shows for the past 10+ years. They could win. Boston- Has the staff and experience to repeat. People are Sleeping on Boston Devils- I liked last years show but, it seemed a little dated. Never count out BD Crown- Had a top 4 show last year, they just have to improve some captions. Phantom- Slipped a little last year. Let's hope for better in 2026. Cavaliers- Another year for a solid staff to gel. Bluestars- What a fun show last year. Here's to more next year. Blue Knights- Leaved Up last year. Can they take another step. Troopers- Interested to see what they bring after a 4 chapter saga. Colts- I see them here Madison or Spirit -Whoever has a better spring training. Pacific Crest- I've been pulling for PC to make finals since the early 2010's Edited January 28 by boxingfred 1 Quote
drumcorpsfever Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Not having seen or heard much of anything since the end of the season, I’d say Bluecoats are the corps to beat on the basis of their Christmas Day posting alone. They sounded in mid-season form. They’ve got things figured out. Until they don’t, they’re my favorite. Quote
