jjlet Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Troopers will fight for a top 12 spot until the end, then fall just short. Academy will take their lumps early and come on very strong towards the end. Blue Knights will continue their surge of excellence that started last year. Bluecoast will be amazing all season. Blue Devils will be supercharged all year. Cavies, Cadets, Phantom and Vanguard will be strong all year. Blue Stars will hit the sophomore jinx and fall to the bottom of the semi's entrants.

marshamello Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Surprise corps - stronger/better out of the gate than recent years 1. Glassmen - Robert Smith already solved the problem of the music book not having enough impact, the return of Sal Salas adds the final ingredient they need to return to former glory, dropping the "we're proud of being boring" mantra of the past and putting out more entertaining shows in the past two years have put them on the map as a corps that talented kids once again want to join 2. Crossmen - Less competition for top talent in area (as compared to NY/NJ/PA area and being the only Div I corps in Texas) - enough said Surprise corps - not as good out of the gate as recent years 1. Bluecoats - I think Crossmen will pull more top talent from Texas than people think (along with other corps doing the Texas talent two-step), expectations are high for this corps and I just don't think they have the creative talent to live up to it 2. The Academy - here again I think the creative design end will be their nemesis - they won Div II last year primarily on talent but couldn't compete (IMHO) with the creativity, complexity and difficulty of the show design of The Spartans and ECJ - this will be more evident against the big boys of DIV I, especially when they are trying to top the likes of Southwind, Colts, Blue Stars, Cascades, Mandarins and Pacific Crest - and that's only their first hurdle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profhill Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Why would it be surprising for Cavaliers to come out strong? Since when HAVEN'T they hit the ground running? 1999 or 2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumCorpsJewBoi Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I think the idea of Troopers making finals is a dream people are having, but very doubtful. Madison.... I wouldn't be surprised to see them drop out of the top 12 I'm think Bluecoats will have an amazing show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
