By the time they get to Cookville and Atlanta next weekend Phantom will move up at least another point, maybe two points. The Cadets will be 2 points stronger and the Bluecoats will break 90. That puts 5 strong corps in the hunt.
Remember that I said on July 21:
"As for me, my money is on Phantom, Cadets, and Cavaliers as a trifecta! BD will do well to come in 4th."

Phantom moved up 1.85!
Cadets almost made 2 points, moving up 1.85.
The Bluecoats moved up to 90.752, an improvement of 1.675. I wonder if I need to put them in my trifecta instead of the Cadets? (As for now I'll stick with the Cadets 3rd, and Bluecoats 4th at finals.)
Blue Devils only moved up 1 point, and the Cavaliers moved up .475.
There is basically 1 point separating the top 3, and less than 3 points separating the top 5. Oh how I wish I could be in Madison! This will be one of the best finals weeks ever!
I know that it’s not always the most popular thing to say on this board, but I love DCI! I don’t think that marching band should be shoved down the throats of high school kids across the country, but the people who march corps are fanatics and they are in this because they love it! It is the ultimate display of what young people can do when they strive to do well. You might not like their style, and you might hate marching of any type, but if you watch the top corps you have to admit that they do what they do very well!
