Since some corps have not moved at all the last few

weeks, I would not expect to see any movement at all.

Perhaps the corps that have been within the same

point and have move by tenths. But the judging community

has not been very brave this year to make anything

other than minor movements. As they say...

It is what is!

as far as history, in 83, Garfield went from a tie for 2nd in semis to win it.

Biggest shock was Regiment in 96 going from 4th in qrtrs, to 3rd in semis, to 1st in finals

Dark horse of 06 is definitely Phantom Regiment

Well Garfield was undefeated all season until Semis, so it wasn't a shock they won at all!

the cadets as always are a fear for many corps...i remember jeff fielder said that even though you are ahead in finals...the corps you are looking at from your shoulder is the ones wearing Maroon and Gold...because you never know what kind of crazy stuff they might start doing...and well...it's true...they will inch up...i'm sure...not first but at least 4, but it might surprise a few to see them up to number 2

The Cadets will not inch up, they will fall to SCV.

Phantom is the "dark horse" this year (as far as being able to win it all), end of story. :)

I watched every weekend show that year after the Cadets came south of the Mason-Dixon (Louisville). I was in Miami, too - all week long. The Cadets were ROBBED in semi-finals - not only did they give a better performance than ANYONE that night, they actually gave their BEST performance of the year; many who saw it all live felt like they were a little "flat" during finals, and actually thought they might lose to BD. But yes, they were indeed robbed of an undefeated season - they were certainly NOT the dark horse that year (Vanguard was).
