So who do you think will take the coveted High Percussion award in the season of 2008? I'm not sure who will take it. The Bluecoats are clean, and their drum feature is sick. But the Cavaliers are coming out on top. Or will Phantom Regiment come away with it this year like in 2006? Could the return of Murray Gusseck bring about another title for the Vanguard? Will risking absurdity bring it home for the Blue Devils? Discuss here!

Well, my opinion, (which doesn't exactly value to much, since I've only seen the Bluecoats live) is Boston. :p Yeah, that would be a longshot. My real hypothesis? Coats'. Again, they're the only corp I have seen so far, and even judging by vids I've seen, I still say it's toss-up between Cavies and Coats'. But Bloo takes it this year.

I would have to say Phantom, but that is based off of just seeing scoring trends, and my hopes more than an actual fact based guess. I'll finally see some corps in K-zoo this weekend though!!

If you can, tell me how the Glassmen drumline is!

I think it will either be the coats (but its a long shot) or bd. I'm going to the southeastern championship in atlanta on the 26, so i'll be able to see who i like best then.

It would be awsome if bluecoats won high percussion.It would be like Tampa bay winning the world series.

is their a ranking thread for drums this year? If not shouldn't we start one? i would but i don't know how it was done in the past

This can be a rankings thread, that's fine.

Phantom takes it this year

Suggestion to the masses - Please stop saying "I like so and so, but it's a long shot." If that's who you think is going to win, own your opinion and back it up. That's the whole point of a discussion forum. Making predictions with nothing but "they're good!" leaves the rest of us with little to discuss.

That said, I haven't seen anyone live yet. I've just seen some DCI webcasts, but it's almost impossible to get a good read as to who has the best product out there, or at least the potential for it.

If you check out the recaps, the Bluecoats aren't all that far away from the top 3 in perc. The only thing I worry about is people peaking early. If they're amazingly clean in early July, then how far can the book go in August?
