5) Phantom Regiment
6) Bluecoats
7) Madison Scouts
8) The Cavaliers
9) Boston Crusaders
10) Blue Knights
11) Spirit of Atlanta
12) Blue Stars

My top four differ than Sax... but the rest fall in-line with that he has.

1. BD
2. Crown
3. SCV
4. Cadets

If Crown gets first, the crowd is going to go wild. I wish I could be there.

First of all I am going to Finals and I cant wait. Secondly what is up with you guys rating the Scouts so low? I believe finals will look something like this.

1. Crown
2. BD
3. Cadets (I believe the top two will battle it out until the night of finals but i think Cadets have 3rd locked)
4. SCV
5. Scouts
6 Phantom (I am conflicted between 5 and 6 with them being my two favorite corps but scouts just have a fantastic show this year)
7. Cavies
8. Bloooooooo
9. Blue knights
10. Boston Crusaders
11. Spirit
12. Troopers

Overall I dont really like the shows the the traditional top corps are presenting. The only ones I really like are Crown due to that horn line and I actually enjoyed the show. Phantom cause they will always be my favorite, Scouts due to the pure emotion that comes out of this show, and the more I watch the cavies the more I like their show. But some of the best this year in my opinion have be the semi final level corps. Corps like the Troopers or the Colts have shows that in my opinion are totally underrated.

kmarti, I haven't been able to see Cavaliers yet. They were pretty awful last year (at least their show was), good to hear they are bouncing back.

I'm in love with what Carolina Crown is doing, and I'm not always a huge fan of theirs (I wish Rach Star had never happened). Like BD's music but I haven't seen them yet. Cadets are always great. Should be fun to see what happens.

I personally believe Madison is plateauing, which is why I have them so low. Also, I don't feel like BLOO should be that low, but to each his own.

Idk BLOO just didnt really do it for me this season I mean in reality they will be higher than where I have placed them but o well. Also the Cavies have a show that matches their style a lot more than last year did and it seems like they have really improved as the season progressed.

They're finally getting a hold of their show, and you can tell. One of my favorite Cavies shows in a long time.

It reminds me of samurai which was one of my favorite shows.

Oh I forgot about that! Now I gotta go on the fan network...

BD
Cadets/Crown
Crown/Cadets
SCV

There is no way Crown can stay competitive against BD. The ONLY reason they won their last show against BD was because there was no drum judge. The drumline is holding them back big time and it will keep them from a chance at gold this year. Crown is peaking.. Cadets MIGHT be able to top them.

Crown would have won that show regardless of the percussion judge. They would have had to score in the mid eighties to drop under BD. I think it'll come down to who doesn't blink on Finals night.

I agree with corndogshuffle. Crown would have won, but not by as much as they did. Maybe by like .3 or .4. But I also agree with cire. Crown may have hit their peak already. Their new closer can only add so much, and they don't clean as quickly as BD or Cadets. SCV could also come out of nowhere and medal.

Let's just wait and see what corps(s) start to pull away in the last 2 weeks

yay go band!

I can't wait for Finals night! I am hoping to see all three rounds. Not sure about Prelims yet, but I will watch the Semis webcast and will be at Finals. I have been following all season, and I think that there WILL be some shaking up towards the end.

1. Crown
2. BD
3. SCV
4. Cadets
5. Phantom
6. Bluecoats
7. The Cavaliers
8. Boston
9. Madison
10. Blue Stars
11. Blue Knights
12. Spirit

I know that some of these are a stretch, but Blue Stars are definitely on the uprise, and same with SCV. SCV is my dark horse this year, and I think there is a slight chance to jump BD or Crown. I am not a big fan of Madison's show either this year.

1. Crown
2. Cadets
3. BD
4. SCV
5. Phantom
6. Bluecoats
7. Madison
8. Cavaliers
9. Blue Knights
10. Crusaders
11. Blue Stars
12. Spirit

Just my opinion :)

I really think that 1st-4th will be separated by less than a point. I have heard that Phantom will have some major changes, so hopefully the Top 5 will be super close.
