San Antonio Predictions!

[TheIrishOne]

1, Cavies (although it would be nice to see someone else win for a change)

2, BD

3, Regiment (will beat the cadets in Minland tonight) b**bs

4, Madison

5, Cadets (score will drop due to a malfunction with the door, and I am still waiting for someone to march right into that thing)

6, Bluecoats

7, BAC

8, Carolina

9, SCV (I weep for this placement) :(

10, Blue knights

11, The Men of Glass

12, Colts

[Grey_Jacket]

1 - Cavaliers

2 - Cadets

3 - Blue Devils

4 - Phantom

5 - Scouts

6 - Bluecoats

7 - Crown

8 - Santa Clara

9 - Boston

10 - Blue Knights

11 - Glassmen

12 - Colts

[TexasPRfan]

Wow, this would be easier after tonight's Dallas show, and seeing Crown & SCV square off, but here goes, since this is in fun anyway:

1 - Cavaliers

2 - Cadets -somewhat a wild card with down time/rehersal time

3 - BD

4 - Phantom (they have upset potential, and lot's of momentum. Those above better look out!)

5 - Madison edged out by tenths by Phantom

6 - Bluecoats - 1.5 ponts behind

7 - Crowm

8 - SCV - watched em rehearse last night. Improving rapidly. Much tighter. How fast will judges & "know your territory" allow them to improve? Still have a great shot at at least 7th in Boston)

9 - Boston

10 - Blue Knights

11 - Glassmen

12 - wow, so tough. Let's say.... Spirit, by mere tenths over Crossmen, Colts and Mandarins

....and that's all she wrote :)

[BlueR36]

Obviously, what happens tonight (thursday) could affect this a bunch ...

1- Cavies 91.10 (sorry, but I'm tired of them being there)

2- Blue Devils 90.20 (I predict they win it all)

3- Cadets 89.95 (edge Cavies for second in the end)

4- Phantom 87.75 (the swing corps ... some say third, some say sixth)

5- Madison 87.25 (happy for them -- but not too happy because ...)

6- Bluecoats 87.00 (my team -- hard to be fair, but they'll catch someone for 5th)

7- CCrown 85.80 (any push left for finals week?)

8- Boston 84.90 (peaking too soon?)

9- SCV 84.50 (seventh at Finals ... too good not to)

10- Blue Knights 82.70 (major drop from previous three corps)

11- Glassmen 82.55 (solidly in finals, but 10th is highest they'll go)

12- Spirit 81.75 (what a battle for 12th ...)

In the AM ... behind the four who advance ... (scores will be higher than bottom of night show)

13- Colts (good to have them back around)

14- Crossmen (too entertaining to be left out???)

15- Mandarins (welcome)

16- Cascades (welcome back?)

17- Cap. Reg. (is Ohio big enough for three finalist corps?)

18- Esperanza (welcome as well)

19- Southwind (five years ago -- one-tenth from 12th place)

etc., etc., etc. ...

... check back for updates after Thursday's scores ...

hope someone is adding these all up for average predictions before Saturday!!

What he said.

[Matt_S]

I predict tiers, and refuse to predict placements after that. As you read the tiers, keep in mind that the corps are listed in the order of their most recent score.

Tier 1

Cavaliers - The only corps still undefeated, and IIRC no one's been even within a point.

Tier 2

Blue Devils

Cadets

Phantom Regiment

Bluecoats

Madison Scouts

We know where Scouts and Devs are in relation to Cavs, but it'll be interesting to see if the Cadets have improved themselves enough to move up. Will also be interesting to see how the newcomers (Bloo, Scouts, and to some extent Phantom) hold up at the first regional show.

Tier 3

Carolina Crown

Boston Crusaders

Not quite able to catch anyone in Tier 2, but a step above the corps below them as well. Give them some more time, and they might really impress.

Tier 4

Blue Knights

Santa Clara Vanguard

Another small tier, but BK's score has improved in the last week or so, making them a lock for the night show. And while SCV beat them by a point or so not too long ago, I honestly predict SCV will not be at Murfreesboro, putting them here.

Tier 5 - the battle for finals

Glassmen

Spirit

Colts

Mandarins

Crossmen

Only two can make finals, and right now Glassmen and Spirit seem to be doing the best. Still, only three points seperate these groups (according to latest scores) so there's plenty of time for any of these groups to crash the party.
