smoke_dawg_08 Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 so which corps did you think was gonna win, me personally, i knew BD was gonna win, lol, it was a flawless "Winged Victory" in every way i examined it. anyways, what did you think everyone? Quote
bossman Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 i was convinced that the Cadets were going to take it, becuz their hornline is amazing. But things happen. Quote
barisaxy08 Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 i wanted cadets to win...and they had a big jump from semis to finals... BD can think there perfect contra line for their win...along wit the rest of their band. haha. Quote
Keyboard_Countessa Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Though I'm always rooting for The Cavaliers, I wasn't too surprised to see BD win; they were pretty solid this year. Quote
Fortisimo Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I wanted Cadets to win, but figured BD would win. This years championship wasn't nearly as epic as last year's though. Ah well. Quote

Ah well. are you kidding it came to down to finals to see who'd win, between the top three, then bluecoats going down to 7th and Vanguard and PR jumping up like crazy, it was amazing Quote

This year seemed to have a lot more consistency top to bottom Quote

This year seemed to have a lot more consistency top to bottom Agreed. I actually enjoyed watching corps that were in the bottom half of the placements, whereas I was bored to tears with a majority of them last year. To answer the topic question, though, I was thinking either Phantom or the Cadets for the win. Cadets had such an amazing thing going for them, but it didn't quite hold up at the end. Even then, they got close. I was hoping Phantom would pull a crazy showing at finals and bump up to second or third, but that didn't happen. Still one of my favorite shows. I LOVED the Firebird part.

Xenon Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Overall I feel like the Top 3 this year weren't as good or exciting as the Top 3 last year, but this was one of the best years for 4th and below. I mean, look at The Troopers!!! Quote

thesnareguy Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Even though I'm a Cavaliers fan, I really didn't think that they would get higher than what they got. But I have to say that their battery book was incredible. I don't care what anyone else says about being "too dirty for the Cavaliers". Jim Casella writes the most musical battery books in DCI. Quote
Visualstrm Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 After watching BD and Cadets at Finals, I really thought it could have gone either way. Cavies, imo, were no where close to the top two. Difficulty, yes...execution, no. Was a great finals week for sure!! Quote
bossman Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 i thought BD's show was a little dry...but i fell in love with the opener from the start of the season. the cavies did alot of cool visuals, but im not sure if the hornline played above a metso forte. Firebird Suite was the piece that stuck in my head the whole summer!!! Carolina Crown hornline was awesome too! Quote

I mean, look at The Troopers!!! This was my point. Because, let's face it, you go to World to see the best of the best. I mean, seeing a lot of the 'bottom of the top' corps do really well was nice, but to see the cream of the crop really come out with great shows is epic. (SCV got shafted- they wre fantastic). Quote

EODrillDesigner98 Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 I knew since the very beginning of the sesaon that Blue Devils would be crown champions. Quote
