Having seen The Cadets, if they are young, they're the VERY talented naturals that I am oh so envious of. Performance captions in brass and percussion will be out the roof come August. Not too sure about the show yet, having seen all the other corps in that upper echlon, it doesn't stick out to me, but we'll see. Cadets know what they're doing when it comes to some good Americana in a show.

First show of the year.. DCI's poster child Carolina Crown vs Cadets, Cavaliers, Phantom and Troopers.. basically a show of "champions"


Where Cadets came out and destroyed Crown.

Them troopers though

Strad,

You mentioned:

"If both the Bluecoats and Crown medal this year I am going to be one VERY happy drum corps fan"

My response would be that the Bluecoats have as much chance of medaling in the 2014 DCI season as The Empire Statemen have of medaling in DCA Open Class in 2014 ... Oh, that's right The Empire Statesmen went inactive after the 2013 DCA Championships ... LOL !!!

Having seen the Bluecoats show, I wouldn't be too sure of that.

Yeah, fast, I would speak so fast.... Its not like jumping from 5th to 3rd in a season is unheard of.

Or from 1st to some ungodly place that only Phantom can recreate

lol

Anyone want to bet a season of inactivity that the Bluecoats will make top Three in the 2014 DCI season ???

I am more than willing to take the bet from One or All ... Bluecoats are a consistent top 5-6 corps ... No more !!!

Bye the way ... I always look forward to seeing the Bluecoats show each season ... So, I am not hating on the Bluecoats ... Rather, I am just stating the normal order of DCI!!!

There's a "normal order of DCI"?

FYI, SCV almost did last year what you're saying is impossible.

I'll take that bet Mr. FastForward.

so what the heck happened in 2010 FastForward??? lol if they got bronze (moving up from 6th) just a few years ago its hard for me to see it as impossible this season...

I will make you a bet Fast.

If Bluecoats makes the top 3 I will not PRACTICE next season of FMA - including sub accounts

If Bluecoats do NOT make the top 3 YOU will not PRACTICE next season of FMA - including sub accounts

I feel like that's a little bit backwards cire, because it seems like Fast is defending Bloo not making the top 3 so he'd be going against himself if he took your bet.

Yeah FF is saying they won't do it xD

Took a nap so I can stay up for the west coast show! Excited

Yes even excited for BD cire lol I've heard "even if you haven't like the last few years, you'll like this sincerely hope so

Wazzup? Ready for some West Coast ACTION!

Man it was a great show! Loved both scv and BD ! SCV needs to finish soon ď
