Siggamiggon Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Colts are "red" hot and have not even made any needed changes in their show. From reading their Cooktruck Blog site they have a week to do local gigs, July 4th $$$$ parades, plus rehearsal time before they come back out on the competition trail next Friday, July 6. From reading the show reviews they are glowing compared to the folks around them (immediately below and immediately above.) They have caught up and passed Glassmen tonight (does not necessarily mean that will stay the same the rest of the season), and are a arms length behind Boston and BK. Maybe they will sneak into 8th. Highest in corps history. What say you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dciguy01 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) I predicted Colts to finish 11th in the preseason, but never in my wildest dreams did I envision they would be within striking distance of 8th. At this point, I wouldn't rule it out given the spreads...although the last time BK and Colts faced each other, BK was comfortably ahead.

Krista Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 What say you? I say.... different shows, different judges, different nights etc. Let's see how it all shakes out at a show where everyone's in attendance. I really don't like the listing of corps in order of scores before they've all been at the same show, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I'd love to see them in 8th, but I'd say no higher than 10th would be more realistic. For those who have seen the show live, does the visual add a lot to the show? I've listened to the APD a few times, and it just doesn't make "sense" musically to me. Maybe the visual adds much more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardcorps Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 As a Colts Alumn, I've got to say that this season is shaping up to be really exciting and can't wait to see them when they get to Arkansas. GET SOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've listened to the APD a few times, and it just doesn't make "sense" musically to me. Maybe the visual adds much more... I've seen it several times, and I'm not a real expert so take this for what is worth, its how I understand the show. This is an absolutely visual show! The opener is the Autumal Equinox with all the shades of fall in the flags and guard, Troiak is the first snow of winer , the guard in white and silver, its kinda of fun like the early winter can be, the Bartok peice is the nasty winter in January and February, the guard stays in white with Dark flags and the drill is fast and angry, just like those February Blizzards we have in the Mid West, Sring (the Vernal equinox) comes with the guard still in white but with sunburst flags, they kind of melt the snow and it ends with the guard in skirts that complment the hand painted flag of spring fowers. The music absolutely fits with the drill and it seems to work. It is early, but at this point 10th looks like a real possibility, 8th is a stretch but who knows. Where ever they finish, I think you'll enjoy this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardcorpscadets Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I agree thats it a visual shovv. The guard absolutely sells the shovv, both the design and the colors make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tradition Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I have only seen the Colts once this year and probably wont see them again but I loved the show, loved the new uni's, loved the guard, loved the music and loved the drill.......I really cant say enough about them. They are RED hot and I hope they really vault higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottalovit Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I saw the Colts again last night. Wonderful show. I think I would seed them around 10th place right now. In theory, if you look at the comparison from last years top 12, they are ahead of Spirit, Glassmen(as of last night), Madison Scouts(as of a couple of days ago), which would comfortably put them in 10th place. They have also beat the 2 corps right behind them last year, Crossmen and Blue Stars, within the last week. One thing in question would be Academy, since both Colts and Academy have beaten Pacific Crest in the 5-7 point spread. But regardless of where they are placing right now, Colts have a really solid show-well performed, and with some areas you can tell rewrites are coming. Congrats to the Colts.
