Crazy day today and then two weeks off which hopefully will include some QT up at the cabin.

For those Corps fans out there, here is how things are stacking up in the Junior corps world with three weeks till their Nationals

22 (22) - 67.85 (1) - Cascades

-------

(1) = 07/16/2009 - Dallas, TX (DCI)
(2) = 07/16/2009 - Houston, TX (DCI)
(3) = 07/06/2009 - Jackson, NJ (DCI)
I am going to go with history for my early predictions. This is Blue Devils' title to lose, but with Garfield (Holy Name) in an anniversary and a killer show I see them ending up on top, with Blue Devils probably ending up 3rd behind Cavies. The battle for the coveted 12th spot will go with the Madison Scouts, finally cleaning up a much more difficult show and squeaking be a resurgent Troopers. There are six Drum Corps with a legitimate shot at the final 12th finals' spot. They say the two worst places to finish in DCI is 2nd cause you didn;t win, and 13th cause you didn't make finals. I know the feeling, I was 13th in 1980 (I'm in 2 of those 4 pictures, you can guess which ones *laughing*

Maybe more later, I have work to do.
