The DCP Championship

[justanopinion]

The Cavaliers.

Great people in the organization. Great talent in the corps.

Bluecoats, for making their alumni so proud.

Gotta vote for Blue Stars cuz it's good to see them back in div 1. With honorable mention to Academy in div 2.

I had to vote for Spirit. My daughter is a 4th year age-out this year and she has given it everything she has. I'm so proud of her; she's grown up so much - never missed a show, through injuries and eye infections and just sheer exhaustion (I know, I know, all corps members feel that). It's not always easy, skating on the edge of the 12th spot always. In 2004, I was set to fly to Denver the day of finals when she called and said they were already on their way back home. Through that heartbreak (and others, including the whole family showing up three different times, only to NOT see the show because of rain) she has held her head high. I'll be in Madison for all three days of competition and to see the age-out ceremony.

I LOVE many shows this year, but the OP did say blind devotion, and that's what I have!

Oh! Pardon me!

Wow, I thought there were a few more Scouts fans out there....Although I never marched, I feel like at least a "step-brother" to this great corps!

[ScribeToo]

Well after one day, Regiment is in the lead for the coveted DCP Championship.

When should voting end (or should it?)

[ScribeToo]

Wow! 'coats pull ahead of Devs for third!

It's gonna be a heated race for the title!!!
