2025 DCI Predictions

[J-Mike16]

Hey yall..... We have DCI Predictions Game happening NOW! 😁

If interested, you can head over to https://www.txbands.com/predict/ and start suggesting events. Please note that with this being the DCI Season, captions are not normally given out to the regular events, and also the number of finalists spots should be the number of corps that will be at whatever event you are submitting. Please keep note of these small differences from fall marching to DCI. I will also be checking up with these events and making sure everything is good to go.

Oh, and when submitting events, please know that if you attempt to re-submit an event over and over again, you will get a warning pop-up box. 

I believe that is all. I will update you all within this topic if anything changes. 

If yall have anything, you can message me or Clarinot and/or leave a comment/message on this topic.

And with that, I am out of here for the night! Peace out "DCIholics" and "Bandaholics"!

Hey everyone.

Question to those of yall who are participating in the predictions.

Do yall want me to mix in All-Age corps with the World and Open Classes when it comes to results? All-Age tends to have their scores run higher than World and Open. Or we can just automatically put All-Age at the bottom of the predictions submissions and the results too?

Please let me know as I dont want to do something that causes backlash.

Hey everyone! I present to all, the 2025 DCI Prediction Game Award Ceremony! Today, we are going to congratulate and celebrate the art of DCI and everything that went down into this past season of Drum Corps and our Predictions! Without further ado, let's give a big round of applause to our 2025 DCI Predictions Winner,

@Dave609!!! He won with 783.39 points and predicted all but 1 event (Don't worry most didn't predict that event either lol). He had a very high average point amount with 11.743 per event which when compared to all the events, that is very good! 

Here are the top 10 Predictors who all got the 2025 DCI Predictions Badge!

1. @Dave609 - 783.29 Points
2. @J-Mike16 - 778.84 Points
3. @Bushpresident - 755.96 Points
4. @Tubalord11 - 748.15 Points
5. @Hags CSHS TPT - 722.55 Points
6. @certifiedscore - 641.93 Points
7. @lemme cook - 450.37 Points
8. @Trombone_lover17 - 407.92 Points
9. @WanderingTraveler - 380.43 Points
10. @JustaTuba - 312.49 Points

I would like to personally congratulate WanderingTraveler who joined mid-season and managed to climb into the top 10. Awesome Job!

I do want to congratulate those who placed right outside the top 10,

11. @SharksAreCool - 234.71 Points

12. @Mike McBandiel - 218.90 Points

13. @euph15 - 213.34 Points

---------

Now, onto more awards and little fun facts about the game and the predictors.

First, we had 38 amazing predictors which is much lower than all the other seasons of Predictions however we brought back DCI Predictions for the first time in many years (It definitely must be more than 10 years) so 38 is a good amount of people who showed interest into the game. Hopefully if we do DCI next year, the number will grow!

The overall average points earned from each event was 8.837 points, while the average points per predictor was 213.39 points. The overall number of points earned was 8,108.82 points.

We set a new record of 5 Predictors getting over 700 points which is INSANE!

Top 5 most predicted events:

1. Drums Along the Rockies with 23 (This was the very first scored event, so it makes sense)
2. Corps Encore with 22 (2nd scored event)
3. Northwest Youth Music Games Seattle with 21 (3rd scored event, notice a trend here? lol)
4. DCI Capital Classic with 20 (8th scored event, oh wow a change!)
5. Rotary Music Festival with 19 (4th scored event)

Now the 5 least predicted events:

1. Bushwackers Invitational with 6 
2. Drums Across the Desert with 7
3. So Cal Classic: Open Class Pacific Championship Finals with 7
4. The Buccaneer Classic with 7
5. Beats in the Brooks with 7

Plus 4 others with 7 as well.

Bushpresident and certifiedscore predicted all 69 events (There were several more but got cancelled due to weather) while Dave, Hags, and myself predicted 68. Dave and I missed Western Corps Connection and Hags missed The Buccaneer Classic.

-----

As we finish out the awards ceremony, I want to again congratulate those who finished in the top 10 and also to everyone who participated in the re-instated DCI Predictions. I am not going to lie; I was pretty nervous about whether or not we were going to get many players. I am really happy we got 38 because I had in mind maybe about 10 to 20 people would play. 

Let's take a breather from the intensity of DCI before the start of HS Marching Band Season that is already in effect. With that in mind now, I do want to announce that I will be away on vacation from August 29th to September 9th (Going on an Alaskan Cruise and will be celebrating my 25th birthday while in Alaska 😁). So Clarinot will be starting the Predictions for HS Bands. 

And with that, we are finished with this chapter of Predictions and the award ceremony! This has been a fun and enjoyable ride throughout the season as we watched Boston Crusaders come out on top with their 1st Championship title on their 85th year!

and with that, I'm out!

Toodles! (I've been saying that a lot recently...) 

*Yes I did do this a week later*

Thank you thank you! I love being able to run and participate in these Prediction games! Makes me happy seeing people enjoy what they like most, which for almost all of us is the marching arts!

Honestly really fun to predict DCI this year. Can’t wait to do predictions for BOA, and maybe this time I won’t stop forgetting to submit my predictions and be the first one out. 😂
