Division I rankings: July 16-22

With the current system in place...

The Boston Crusaders got the shaft. Big time.

 

Not only did they 2 1/2 point the Madison Scouts in San Antonio but....they don't get to participate in this Friday's top 8 event in Tennessee and they have to qualify for the evening show at the Atlanta Regional on Saturday??

 

I don't know why we use numbers from different competitions to determine this, when on one night we had every Division I corps compete and determined the top eight on the field. It seems like a better way to go about things.

I believe that this year SCVanguard is going to do alot better then last year and will most probably rank in the top 20.

 

I wouldn't get your hopes up, the magic look pretty good this year.

i'm rooting for vanguard to take bluecoats and land in 5th. Not gonna happen but SCV is one of my favorites, i want to see the return to the top 5

Like you said not gonna happen, but next year I'm guessing (and hoping) that SCV will be back in the top 5.

Lol, its funny, when I went to DCI San Antonio and SCV performed I felt like I was listening to the shows we played my freshman and sophmore years- get it?

I agree, but the judges don't seem to mind Poulans repetitiveness. And neither do I. Though I will say it is REALLY apparent this year.

JD Shaw is definitely better, but Key Poulan isn't bad either, even if he is excessively repetitive.

I find Mark Higginbotham to be the most annoyingly (is that a word) repetitive arranger there is.

true, but his music to Apocalyptic Dreams is hardcore =p *Messianic Kingdom or something... kick **** =p*
