My early predictions, 6 days after this video and now that a lot more corps have finally made their debut (even though Splanta, Crossmen, and music city all went to a show that didnt release any scores for some reason . . .) are: 1. BD (i dont WANT them too, but unfortunately, until we see Bloo perform again at Whitewater tonight to get a more accurate comparison, BD looks not very touchable rn. Agree with a lot of what was said in the video) 2. Bluecoats. I do think that 1st and 2nd will be very close though, with 3rd less so. 3. Crown 4. Boston. Similarly with 1st vs 2nd, i think 3rd vs 4th will be super tight, and it already is! Boston holds the lead for now but I do think Crown has a more sound show, the brass is too phenomenal this year, and their guard has really taken a step up from last year to challenge Boston's own great guard. all of the top 4 will be a very tight and hectic race this season and i'm excited to watch it! 5. I think Phantom stands alone very firmly in 5th with not much challenge from other corps, but similarly the talent above them would be difficult to reach. Amazing show this year once again, almost certain it will win "Fan favorite" once again and they'll get their own 4-peat lmao 6. Here's where it gets tough. as of July 5th, Mandarins has actually pulled ahead of SCV, and Cavies are tied with SCV. I genuinely believe the race for 6th will be even more competitive than who wins 1st this year. And that's exciting. I will say, the Midwest show on the 5th had some extremely questionably judging so that throws stuff for a loop rn. I do personally still think SCV could potentially come out on top?? they have a more competitive music book than say Mandarins for example, but one can't help but wonder how much the lack of props will continue to slightly harm their overall GE as the season continues, even if having no props is the point of their brilliant show design. I say SCV 6th but I would however not be one bit surprised if it was lost to either Mandarins or even Cavaliers. 7. Hot take but I do think Cavaliers has a strong shot at landing 7th this year. So does Mandarins, dont get me wrong, but that's why we do these "way too early predictions" in the first place lol. Cavaliers percussion once again is just out of this world, and single-handedly carrying the corps just like last season, but their brass isn't playing around this year either and is standing solid at 6th as of July 5th, and their guard has stepped up a lot from last season too. They feel a lot more well-rounded compared to last year, and their concept/design is a lot deeper than last years show and that could take them places. 8. Mandarins. Nothing to say other than a repeat of the last 2 placements. these 3 corps could all easily land anywhere from 6th-8th and im all for it. 9. Another tight race between 9th and 10th but I think Colts will come on top by the end of the season. They're on a similar trajectory from the prior season, as well as on trajectory to beat last season's score of 90.263, which was not only a Corps record highest score, but DCI record highest 9th place finish score. 10. Blue Stars. Also having a very similar trajectory to last year, they're starting out the season fairly strong, but I can't help but admit it's likely because of lower content score comparatively. Blue Stars are hella clean for what they have right now, but that's also the problem, and what caused them to fall to 11th last season. If they can make consistent improvements to the show then hey they might surprise me and topple Colts this year, though as a Colts alum that would make me sad lol. I do think 9th-10th could very easily sway either way, especially with Blue stars being in the lead as of now, and having only lost the lead to Calts a single time so far this season and by only like .2 or .3 points or something like that. 11. Troopers. Troopers opening up not as strong as I was expecting this year. I haven't watched their full show yet, but from the clips I have seen I do definitely prefer the overall ambition and show design of the previous season. I definitely think they have nothing to worry about though, it's still a very solid group this year, their brass sounds the best they have ever sounded this early in the season and it's seriously not even remotely close (and their score of 14.9 reflects that!! - even if i don't personally agree with it) and they should very solidly be in at LEAST 12th place this season. Though i definitely believe they will slot in 11th no problem. 12th - now for 12th i have no prediction. there are too many corps that could potentially score around here this early in the season, and with crossmen and music city remaining unscored after their debut shows, it's truly hard to say. I do say it's extremely exciting that Madison Scouts is holding the honor right now, and is sitting only a tenth behind Troop! but Crossmen is 100% coming out swinging this year, and they sound like they're tired of missing Finals by one placement. Score-wise BK isn't competing for 12th rn, but I also haven't seen their show whatsoever so I cannot speak on whether there's a ton of room for improvement just like last season. I do think the Northwest Music games had some unnecessarily tough judging for some reason and similar to Troopers, it is entirely possibly their score could also be underwhelming and not truthfully reflective of the performance. All i know is 12th place is once again going to be an exciting race just like it always is! Anyways if you got this far, would like to reiterate this are purely subjective opinions very early in the season, from someone who hasn't seen every single show, nor seen any corps live! (yet!) Only video feed so far. Take it with a grain of salt.

Haha, July 6th scores coming out, still patiently waiting for DCI West to wrap up to see where BD lands after Bluecoats took a fairly decent lead tonight, and Colts shoot way ahead of Blue Stars again by almost 2 full points! This is EXACTLYY the type of super close back and forth competition i was referring to in my original comment. Super super excited for the rest of this season!! I think the thing I am most excited for is that it seems like Bloo has an extremely genuine chance to win the gold this year. It looks like they're the only ones with a shot of stealing the title from BD as of right now. Phantom further cementing themselves into 5th by shooting far ahead of the competition behind them (and even ahead of Crown and Boston's really old July 2nd scores, which is impressive though we know that won't last but one more competition) I'm standing ever more firm in my predictions as of now for everything but that 6-8th place. Can't take back what I said but I think I should have went with my gut bc I was very heavily debating making a suuuper hot take and saying Cavies in 6th instead of Vanguard! Again, we will have to wait for DCI West to finish their competition first.

I have been a DCI fan for decades but let’s be honest, DCI as a competitive format is done. The gap between BD and anyone below them is to much. Been a fan for 30+ years but it’s time to walk away. A real shame! As a member of dci and someone who has as an ambition to win why both. DCI is over in say 10 years.

I was so shocked that BD was strong so early in the season, that I can't wait to see how the other corps catch up. But I see BD, Bluecoats, Crown and Boston tying for 3rd, SCV for 5th. The Colts show is surprisingly good too. I also feel in order for Bluecoats to take a win this season, seeing that their show is Change is Everything, we will need to SEE an unexpected change visually to take them over the top. With no backdrops or props that may be hard.

DCI judging seems to have a predetermined pecking order with a corps history being the determining factor in scoring. They tease us with an occasional contender like the Bluecoats, Carolina and Boston but Blue Devils seem like the judges favorites. The best performers are attracted to the Blue Devils because they feel their will be a guarantee of winning a championship. At the same time the Blue Devils shows feels like eating at Taco Bell, the menu items have the same ingredients. The shows feel formulaic without much that seems unique. There will always be fans and apologists of the Blue Devils.
