Bushsop89 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I'm surprized by the power of the bushwackers this year as well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I became a Bucs fan in the early 70's and always felt thier shows were under appreciated (72-75) My last DCA was 78, too bad it wasn't 79, at least then I could have seen them win. I do hope they put on a performance that is deserving of a championship and they are thusly rewarded.

KoyaanisCABsi Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I certainly agree that the winner is on that list of five. But also interesting, I think the corps you assume are duking it out for sixth could shake things up and knock someone out of top five. Also, watch the fight for 8th, 9th and 10th this year. It's been quite a while since we've had an unpredictible DCA. It's going to be very exciting. Good luck to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally believe that they have one of, if not THE, best written and constructed shows in DCA this year! Their staff gave them the package; the "goods". I think it is now up to their membership to deliver it. It is in their hands, and hearts! BTW Bush and Bucs are performing back-to-back as the last two competing corps in prelims. It should be a great night in Scranton . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idontwan2know Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 They had some issues on the field in Winston-Salem, but Bush's hornline really impressed the heck out of me with their standstill at LMS South. At that point in the season they didn't quite have the range of dynamics and musical expression that the Bucs displayed, but their stylistic interpretation of their book was top notch. They are one of the better trained hornlines I've ever heard, especially when it comes to articulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosovobill Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I think the top 10 are going to be highly volatile, and unfortunately some people are going to get their feelings hurt when the final standings come out- I say this because the last two weeks of this season we've basically had 2 groups of corps that have competed out of context with one another; this makes for interesting seedings, and the potential for lots of placement changes from 1st place on down.

You are absolutely correct. I feel that, after seeing Bush this weekend, Bush's score will be 4-5 points below Reading. This has been the consistent spread all season. Bush's score has sky rocketed, IMO, b/c they have been the top dog at their last few shows. Don't get me wrong, they are #### good... but they did not catch up to Reading, regardless of what the scores say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think the prelim placements reflect reality at this point so it will be fun to see what happens..and folks, lets all be nice about this....
