The highest first score

[raphael18]

inflated in the midwest? From my experience, DCM scores were always more conservative.

Mandarins, unis are too cool not to give an 100 for the 1st show, then they will simmer down, once we are used to them.

Cadets or BD. Although scores in the midwest can be inflated sometimes, so Cavies might be up there. Basically I'm just hedging my bets.

Inflated in the Midwest? Since when?

It's usually the scores out west that tend to be very inflated, while scores out east tend to be ultra-conservative. Usually, the Midwest scores tend to be just about right.

bd will get a 78 this year.. cavies will be just under that

Scores tend to be higher on the coasts - so I'm saying Blue Devils. Though, it really doesn't seem fair with Cadets going a week later.

Well, I'm glad we're all in agreement here. :P Actually, IMHO, having marched both coasts and watched the scores translate across the country, I would say West Coast scores are definately inflated.

Won't be Cadets as they always come on strong at the end of the season. Could be Cavies but my bet as seems to be every year is the West Coast crew will have the highest scores early on.

BD for inflated west coast scores, or Cadets for coming out a week later? After Cadets' slow start last year, I'd say BD would be the best guess.

[SeanOwenSullivan]

cavies seems the obvious choice to me

Why?
