With one of the older hornlines in terms of age they are almost always guaranteed a top spot amongst the elite, and this year isn't any different. Cavaliers - are now at home, with a promising show concept that everyone is excited about. A large returning class for the hornline, always awesome guard, but may have some drumline troubles with rumors of several vets, and would be, prospective members going to be with Gusseck at SCV. SCV- Although a new brass staff and percussion and some new faces in color guard. The Visual Staff is supposed to be close to the same, or better. They are a corps on the rise, trying to bounce out of their funk and back into the spotlight they traditionally have always held. Cadets- Always sounding great isn't a problem for the Cadets. The voice overs are obviously not a scoring problem. But, looking back a couple years to the last sequel they put out, this may not be as successful and the promise of so many corps may leave them out of the top 3 this year. Carolina Crown- a corps with the best sounding brass in my opinion. They have just made a huge boost to their program's prestige and now should prove to have a bigger and better recruitment base. The DCI "Crown" is a little ways off for them, but they are constantly improving and they are looking better every year. Good Luck to all the corps. I hope some of them can prove me wrong, and be even higher than I predicted!

SCV uses Aussies. Cavaliers use Cavalier hats. These names are given as a counter to the name "shako" for which most marching bands traditionally wear.

What about them?

Ha, Cedar Park much? Well, we all know the music will be great, the marching will be great. Too bad we won't hear the music because of people talking. Atleast we can look forward to a good visual show, right?
