**********************************

yep its BD's year

That's rather depressing, I think cavies should win it, or crown

I don't want BD to win. Not at all...

I know a lot of people are rooting for crown, especially after how well they did last year, but again, it looks like BD has it,

also nice to see the DCA corps scores on there to haha

Yeaa I love crown, but the cavies definitely have the coolest show this year

My Top 10

1.Cavies - is it going to be another sweep the decade deal?
2.Blue Devils - I can't stand em'.
3.Crown - favorite show this season
4.Bluecoats - You guys might just shock the crap out of us and take it all.
5.Cadets - some reason you guys are going backwards.
6.Santa Clara - wow!
7.Phantom Reg.
8.Boston Crusaders
9.Blue Knights
10.Blue Stars

Quote: 2.Blue Devils - I can't stand em'.

Ok, whats YOUR reason for not liking them ? Is there something about the corps or is it just too much fun to p### off their fans ?

Omce upon a time I loved the corps but disliked the staff because of what "I" consider a lack of values regarding tradition and honor but now it's just fun to "hate" because the fans get so annoyed.

No I don't like anything "blue devils" because it's our high school rivals in everything lol so I just don't like the mascot or whatever.... pretty stupid but yeah.

No problem. I just enjoy seeing their fans get mad...................years ago ( 80's) it was Phantom Phans that got upset pretty quick and I used to pick on them even though several of my students were marching in Phantom. I just a jerk like that :-)

I feel like bd presents an attitude of being above corps

lol this is starting to look like DCP haha

Yeah.

Keep in mind, we have members that are alumni of a variety of corps. In order to avoid offending them in anyway, make sure you think before you post.

Too early in the season to make any calls.

Crown was fifth overall this time last season and ended up in 2nd.

Blue Devils were around 2 points ahead this time last season and the lead was cut to less than half a point right before Championships.

Troopers made it in the top 12 at the last minute last season.

Spirit has held...what? 8 or so spots since the beginning of the season?

The Blue Devils are beginning to have a reputation of getting ahead throughout the season all the way up until championships. The gap will close. Crown is starting to build a pattern of gaining a number of spots in the rankings as the season draws to a close. The Cavaliers are starting to show a trend of gaining places slightly after the middle ofthe season, which they have done this season too.

Who are you rooting for? Cheer them on! :) Don't give up on them or call the season to a prremature conclusion.

That being said, this season might be my favorite season to date because of the abundance of really good shows.
