DCA's prelims and finals... my thoughts


Recommended Posts

I have to agree with Chris there as a former Sunriser.

We didn't do that there.

I think its safe to say that NO corps or corps alumni member should do that of ANY corps they marched with.

ok just stating... my two cents.. I only called it as I saw it.. and that is what a judges job is as well.. is to call it how they see it.. I dont think anyone should bash there own corps.. in a public forum especially. Its like an manager yelling at a sales rep (in a department store) infront of customers. its just not cool to do. Im sorry if things didnt go well at prelims for your corps, but dissing your own corps in public.. just isnt right.

It's good to see that your placements are not all too different from the ones that came out of the judges.

It's kinda funny actually, this year with a record number of participating corps, I got my most accurate prediction of the results. I had a set of picks for how everyone would place that I based off of what I saw what I "heard" and a little bit of politics. But as for my picks for how they should finish based on their entertainment value at Prelims? Different story! Keep in mind, in prelims everyone is judged together, so seperating them by class based on how entertaining I found them would seriously alter the results and skew the finishes...

1.) Bushwackers

2.) Buccaneers

3.) Renegades

4.) Minnesota Brass Inc.

5.) Empire Statesmen

6.) Caballeros

7.) Carolina Gold

8.) Brigadiers

9.) Skyliners

10.) Grenadiers

-------------------

11.) CorpsVets

12.) Hurricanes

13.) Crusaders

14.) Frontier

15.) Kilties

16.) Sunrisers

1.) Chops, Inc.

2.) Heat Wave

3.) Lakeshoremen

----------------------

4.) Music City Legend

5.) White Sabers

6.) Shenandoah Sound

7.) Alliance

8.) Govenaires

9.) Gulf Coast Sound

10.) Mon Valley Express

That is based entirely on my "wow" factor and nothing else. Simply the oervall satisfaction achieved by watching the corps.

I am glad we could wow someone like that in our first show out. Thanks from the Lakeshoremen!!
