Mr E Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Complete guess based on absolutely nothing (except perhaps previous season scores): Are you a judge perhaps? I do think there is a lot of carry over from the previous year in the early scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzEuph Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Where have you all seen these groups? I haven't seen them all. I am just making a guess off of staff changes, show music, where and who's at their first show! Am I not allow to make a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Complete guess based on absolutely nothing (except perhaps previous season scores):71.5 Boston 69.0 Madison 68.5 Crossmen 66.0 Academy 62.0 Pacific Crest 61.5 Troopers 60.5 Cascades But Academy = Boston :sshh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzycat1 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Knock about 5 points off Madison and that's about right OK - So Madison 78? Sounds a bit high but I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ictrumpet Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Seeing groups doesn't mean anything anymore. Hearing from a friend of a friend of a friend on "The National Drum Corps Planet Enquirer" and reading peoples conspiracy theories about how this corps has less than 20 in the guard, or that corps has holes, or that corps has uniforms is the only way to make an opinion. Rather than watching groups in person or seeing them go head to head, or knowing a God #### thing about a corps, and just relying on rumors is a much better way to formulate an opinion. <edited for filter circumvention - jm> THANK YOU!! I have been saying this for so long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRomano Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) I haven't seen them all. I am just making a guess off of staff changes, show music, where and who's at their first show! Am I not allow to make a guess. Of course you are, I just wanted to know if there is somewhere online to view these Corps that I was not aware of etc....... Just anxious to see them.

Tom Brace Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 At this time of the season, scores don't really mean that much anyway. Different shows, different corps, different lineups, different judging panels - not to mention all the cleaning that has yet to be done. So...if the scores don't mean all that much this time of year...why give scores until after July 4? What...Allentown is the first show (July 7-8) where all the corps are under the same basic conditions...other than they are on different nights. Why don't the corps just recieve comment tapes until then? Only reason I can think of....is because DCP could not stand another month of predictions threads.

Tom Brace Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 It's time to play the slots. If you look at the gaps between scores from the opening weekend, there are some obvious holes where corps that have not yet taken the field could easily slide in. The slots are pretty clearly defined between: Bluecoats and Crown - insert Boston with a 71.XXX Blue Knights and Colts - insert Crossen with a 68.5 or so Colts and Glassment - insert Madison with a 66.XXX I think the Troopers, Academy and Cascades will be in a gap after Blue Stars and before Spirit. This pushes Spirit way down from last year. But, hey...a 60.9 on opening weekend is an ouch for sure. I have Pacific Crest occupying the gap after Sprit and before Southwind. We'll see...trying to make sense of the guesswork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
