Phantom 89 closer. listen closely. I find it kind of ironic. I would have yelled, "Judges, are you LISTENING"

Lol, I know. I wonder if the guy saw someone mess up, or perhaps he was saying that they were owning.

I really don't know if Cavaliers 2006 is really accessible to a person who has never even heard of drum corps before.

The show concept is very simple and easy to understand. I told my friend "this show was called machine, and they do a lot of robot and machine-like stuff", and she totally got it. As opposed to say... "cathedrals of the mind" or something.

I don't honestly think it matters who won, or should have won, in 1989, I just know that phantom's going to win by at least two points this year and the cavaliers are going to get at least third or lower =)

 

And VK, although division 2, is going to get the second highest score from any division and win Divi 2 =p

Don't know about Cavies scores, but I hope Phantom does get that.

[Fortisimo]

Me too, but the Cadets are gonna give them a run for their money, that's for sure.

[Aegis Fang]

I think we should start a petition to get VK to come to San Antonio, I want to see them that bad, lol.

And you are basing these predictions on what?

Last time phantom won was 96 and Cavies haven't been 3rd or lower since 99.

[trumpetman1288]

Didn't Phantom get a new director this year?

 

 

Either way, I have this feeling it is going to come down to either PR or the Cadets for the win this year. Sorry Cavies

[bluebellbrass07]

Oh and nobody has won by 2 points since 1976, so I don't see that happening.

 

Phantoms new director is Rick Valenzuela, former director of SCV.

Just because it's a prediction doesn't mean it has to be based on anything.

Oh, I meant to somebody new to DCI, not necessarily music, or marching band.

 

Vanguard 98 was the first show I saw, and SCV's been my favorite corps since then.

Same here.

absolutely nothing, that's what makes it great =p

Well no, but if it isn't, then it has absolutely no merit whatsoever. It's more of a guess than a prediction.

I think in this case it's more of a hope, and I'm hoping too that Phantom can take another championship.

[bluebellbrass07]

I'd love that as well, but theres no way anyone is going to win by 2 points. I honestly don't see why everyone is putting the Cavaliers so low in their predictions. They have been in the top 3 for the past 8 years. If they keep doing what they are doing, which obviously works, that shouldn't change.

People can't get behind the show concept, it's that simple. I think the Cavaliers execution will keep them in the top three maybe.

It sounds kinda stupid, but it also seems some people can't shake off the Europe bug, even though the trip is cancelled.

 

I'm not a superstitious guy, but Europe does things to corps, like the Blue Devils or Glassmen (like makes them make crappy shows).

 

It just seems like the Cavies are doing a Europe-tailored show for an all-American audience. Looking at the prior experience, that never turns out that well.

I don't think Europe really has anything to do with it, I think just somewhere along the line, the ball got dropped in planning for it, or something. I don't know about the Cavies show concept yet, because I haven't heard any music, but I think that is the thing that is causing a lot of doubt in them right now.
