[violet tangle]

i like this list

[tulip carbon]

gotta love putting Scades last :((

[gentle obsidian]

I can’t pick between Scouts or PAC for finals

[sonic plank]

interesting

[gentle obsidian]

I got Spirit leadership meeting insight

Michael Martin is convinced PAC is an easy finalist

Based on solely their design team

[sonic plank]

i personally have spirit higher

[gentle obsidian]

Spirit will be very good

I know BK’s show and

It’s

80x better than drip haha

So I think naturally both corps will just be a lot better than last year

Leaving the placements as is

[violet tangle]

there was a 5 point gap between scades and crossmen last season at semis

so it's either scades or genesis last

[sonic plank]

im very excited for spirit this year

[gentle obsidian]

Genuinely think Scades will beat Genesis I just don’t know enough about either show

[sonic plank]

ive heard some very very good things

[gentle obsidian]

Logistically they’re in a better spot

[tulip carbon]

With the way it’s going I see us cutting deep compared to other seasons

[sonic plank]

i also think top 3 is gonna be impossible to call rn

[tulip carbon]

We’re learning like rlly fast

[sonic plank]

im just hoping for BAC, Bluecoats, BD

[violet tangle]

all corps do

[gentle obsidian]

I haven’t seen any proof to back up all these SCV 1st/2nd assertions

[violet tangle]

i dont want to see scades get last but it's unrealistic to place them over crossmen

[gentle obsidian]

I think they landed big with their recent design and

Sure, they could continue the momentum

[tulip carbon]

Yeah true

[gentle obsidian]

But for them to come up with something more visually interesting

It won’t be easy

I have them fourth

[tulip carbon]

But we have a very good show without saying anything

[pliant bison]

I thought i remembered you saying you were done marching after this season or sum 😭

[sonic plank]

i think theyre going to be a very solid 4th place or a very very very close 5th

[pliant bison]

after 25

[gentle obsidian]

Spirit? Yeah haha

Doesn’t mean I don’t have those sweet connections

And I’m not talking about LinkedIn

I’m talking about the real deal

[sonic plank]

phantom has some cool stuff and a lot of momentum with it being their 70th

[violet tangle]

wait when do you age out if you dont mind me asking

[gentle obsidian]

2028

[tulip carbon]

It’s our 60th sooo

[pliant bison]

oh i read taht as I got spirit leadership meeting TONIGHT 😭

[gentle obsidian]

Yeah I could see them beating Crown

[pliant bison]

not insight

[sonic plank]

scades are pretty cool

[gentle obsidian]

I think it’ll be tough for them to crack top 4

[tulip carbon]

You’re gonna love our show

[gentle obsidian]

Mb mb

[sonic plank]

i could see phantom as high as fouth but i think theyll be fifth

[sonic plank]

i have crown pretty low icl

[gentle obsidian]

Crown’s show is

Something that’s been done before

[sonic plank]

i have them at 7th or 8th

[gentle obsidian]

But they uh

They’ll be Crown

They’ll sound great

[sonic plank]

ive heard some stuff

[gentle obsidian]

I think the design will be fine

[tulip carbon]

oh it is goooood

I’m pumped

[gentle obsidian]

I could never imagine Crown out of the top 6

Really out of the top 5 is astonishing to even imagine

But a lot of that is my faith in the 2010s version

[sonic plank]

i think the corps around them just have very very solid programs and shows this year

so that 6-8th range is going to be an absolute bloodbath

[gentle obsidian]

I should make a

[violet tangle]

with love to cavs i dont see them placing above crown in any world

[gentle obsidian]

Preference list

[drifting monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/bloodbath-geometry-dash-riot-extreme-demon-gd-gif-12537401629893333217

bloodbath mentioned

[dreamy salmon]

i can say anniversary years does not equal competitive success signed the Glassmen

[gentle obsidian]

If it was my way, I’d want Boston to win 10 times out of 10. They have cool shows what can I say

Cool logo

Cool people

[sonic plank]

this is true.

[gentle obsidian]

I think there’s a lot of pressure with them being defending champs

Moveins are late

But

[sonic plank]

aww shucks

[gentle obsidian]

From what I know about the show it’s fine

[dreamy salmon]

i also want to know who thought a vampire love show was a great idea for the 50th anniversary

[gentle obsidian]

Boston will probably beat BD but for the record I haven’t had BD outside of the top 3 ever in these predictions

I had them winning last year LMAO

I trust their design team every year to bring them back

[sonic plank]

i cant see them out of top 3 this year

i think they will be third but i realistically cant see them out of top 3

[gentle obsidian]

Despite the AI

I must say

The show looks sweet

[sonic plank]

the music is really good

[gentle obsidian]

I haven’t actually seen the rep

[sonic plank]

i have, ive also heard them and its good

[tulip carbon]

Cascades 19th place???

[violet tangle]

this

i will be shocked if scades dont place over genesis

yeah bd’s rep is actually insanely good

technically it’s a leak but also technically not because it came from the corps

[pliant bison]

it came from the corps they just unlisted it after like an hour

[west ledge]

it was always unlisted

people found it because it was in the 2026 playlist

[drifting monolith]

ouh can i see

[violet tangle]

ragebait

[spice wagon]

i don’t think th is is the most likely

at all

but i have reasons for the placements

[violet tangle]

crown is not medaling im sorry

tho id love to see it happen

[spice wagon]

i dunno i feel like the things they have to do to place higher are a lot easier than what other corps have to do

theirs is really design based

oh

and they got their old designer back

i just remembered that

[modest marsh]

You are too quick to count them out

Corps have bad runs and make come backs

[violet tangle]

ok nish.

[modest marsh]

Thank you for listening

[violet tangle]

i didnt

[modest marsh]

Baka

[spice wagon]

crown with their designer from when they were consistently meddling will

greatly improve their chances

[modest marsh]

They have the talent

[spice wagon]

easily

after seeing that bluecoats edit on instagram

i just think they’re gonna win

with little effort

especially with 10 year anniversary

i see like a 99.15

99.20

[modest marsh]

I give bloo the highest chance as well

Idk if I'm as locked in with that as u though

[spice wagon]

if not costs

coats

vanguard

cuz they quiet

[modest marsh]

For me I give 4 corps winner contention status in this order

Bloo
BD
Boston
SCV

[spice wagon]

bd being second is iffy for me i feel like their momentum is gonna be down

[low vessel]

scv is Winning bro on my soul

[wary ermine]

1st Place (98.85) - SCV
-Caption Wins
*Drums (avg of 19.80, finals night 19.90)
*Overall Visual
*Overall GE

2nd Place (98.75) - Boston Crusaders
-Caption Wins

• Colorguard

3rd Place (97.75) - Bluecoats

10th (92.50) - Blue Knights

11th (91.80) - Mad Scouts

12th (90.20) - Spirit of Atlanta

ROUGH POINT ESTIMATES

[modest marsh]

Crown 8th :O

[wary ermine]

Thats just me having too much faith in my goats

[wary ermine]

After further review. Crown is my wild card.

They could very easily have a knockout season and go top 3.

At the same time, I can see them going as low as eighth where I have them now

[gentle obsidian]

Your point allocations are extremely generous

[modest marsh]

ah\greed

[wary ermine]

Thats ok for a pre season prediction tho, I'll lock it in once we get closer

[balmy wagon]

Atlanta breaking 90 would feed families

[wary ermine]

I feel like it could happen tho no?

[stray zephyr]

Having seen them, I believe it will happen this year.

[neon oak]

i know this aint gonna happen but im saying it anyway

scv
boston
bloo
phantom
crown
bd
blue stars
troopers
cavaliers
blue knights
spirit

[pliant bison]

bd in SIXTH is absolutely diabolical

[wary ermine]

Not impossible

I could see this happening honestly

[pliant bison]

I dont see a world where BD falls to 6

especially with the pickup in talent they have (allegedly) had

[neon oak]

i'm a bit resentful after the Ai stint

realistically i'd move them up to like 4-5

[pliant bison]

25 was a weird year for the corps. alot of 23 and 24 vets didnt do 25 but are marching 26 iirc

so the hornline's gonna be alot stronger and the show seems really cool from what we know about it

and less... variations on a gathering-y

[neon oak]

yeah

it would be kinda funny tho

if they drop out of the top 5

[pliant bison]

id be really sad but also everyone falls eventually

I just love BD

[wary ermine]

I need phantom top 6

[neon oak]

phantom needs a medal

https://tenor.com/view/druski-shrug-idk-iono-hands-up-gif-7122581203490458147

[wary ermine]

Badly

[pliant bison]

i would like phantom to get a medal but it aint happenin anytime soon

[modest marsh]

My best case scenario crown and bd medal

Idc about any of the other corps

[sullen inlet]

No

[spice wagon]

if 12th gets above 90
crown gets 8th
or blue stars win brass
I will pay you $100

all of those are

actually insane

[wary ermine]

Im holding you to that

[spice wagon]

crown drops 3 and mandies gone so like 4
blue stars brass would have to jump 6 places

or there’d have to be an very high new record for 12th

[dreamy salmon]

Acting like nobody has ever won a caption from 6th on wait they have 😅

[wary ermine]

Cavies did it with perc a couple years ago

23 I think

[dreamy salmon]

And phantom did it in 2010

[modest marsh]

Bd did it in 2014

[violet axle]

https://tenor.com/view/black-man-laughing-get-into-car-got-you-lol-gif-4887692972673590281

[pliant bison]

wifting what the fuck does this mean

[violet axle]

Here’s what they don’t tell you

[wraith zodiac]

bro

lmao

[violet axle]

😭

[jolly ether]

I will give you 10k if troopers places 8th and 9th

[modest marsh]

Me when I hate money

[jolly ether]

But they must get both

[modest marsh]

Ohh

[stray zephyr]

So…. a tie for 8th place, where they would technically be 8th and 9th……

[jolly ether]

Nah they must be announced as 8th and 9th

Tie is tie

[stray zephyr]

Oof

[modest marsh]

Tie for 8th would just be 8th

And there would be no 9th place

[jolly ether]

Imagine brant crocker sees this

[spice wagon]

they got 7th in brass last year in not talking about their overall placement i mean their caption placement
I don’t think they can jump 6places in brass in 1 year
