First Time Ever at DCI


Recommended Posts

Side note: I was watching the 91 Scores video on YouTube yesterday, and realized that 91 must have been super exciting - the entire top 3 had not won a championship before.

That's what I was thinking. You needed a lineup of the top 6 or 7 who have ALL won the Championship before in Finals where one of them will win the Championship AGAIN.

I'm interested to see who the next first time champion will be, it probably won't be for a number of years but maybe Crossmen, Blue Knights, or Boston could rise in a number of years

For reference, here are the best final placements to date in DCI for all this year's World Class corps who haven't already won it all, with each corps' five most recent final placements in parentheses. If a corps has placed this high more than once, only the most recent time is shown.

6th, 2015 -- Blue Knights (recent: 10th > 10th > 8th > 6th > 7th)

2nd, 1972 -- Blue Stars (recent: 13th > 12th > 9th > 11th > 9th)

6th, 1997 -- Crossmen (recent: 12th > 14th > 12th > 12th > 10th)

11th, 2016 -- Academy (recent: 15th > 19th > 16th > 15th > 11th)

5th, 2002 -- Boston Crusaders (recent: 7th > 8th > 10th > 10th > 12th)

2nd, 1973 -- Troopers (recent: 18th > 13th > 14th > 13th > 14th)

9th, 1995 -- Colts (recent: 17th > 13th > 15th > 14th > 16th)

16th, 2001 -- Mandarins (recent: 23rd > 18th > 21st > 20th > 17th)

17th, 2015 -- Oregon Crusaders (recent: 19th > 17th > 19th > 17th > 18th)

16th, 2013 -- Pacific Crest (recent: 16th > 16th > 20th > 21st > 19th)

4th, 1980 -- Spirit of Atlanta (recent: 11th > 11th > 17th > 18th > 21st)

12th, 2002 -- Cascades (recent: 25th > 27th > 26th > 24th > 22nd)

20th, 2012 -- Jersey Surf (recent: 20th > 22nd > 22nd > 28th > 26th)

If...er..I mean when Boston wins it all, would they the first pre-DCI era and DCI era Champion?

technically... bluecoats don't count until next year as this is their first time getting a ring.

Then technically it has never happened, because PR 1996.

But I would say both years because both became champions in their respective year.

Let's not short change the Blue Stars! They were 2nd in 1972.

I don't know anything about winning but I see Blue Knights or Blue Stars with best chance to attain a top 5 spot in the future.

No. LabMaster. Cadets have already won National World Class Division Titles in both Pre- DCI, and DCI years. ( although its true Boston has won National Titles, pre DCI)

No love for Academy in any of these the-next-corps list. Hype is a big thing when it comes to recruiting and show design, and this corps has plenty of hype from 2016 that they'll be able to roll into 2017 if they do it right.
