BoyWonder1911 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I was reading the post about the top-tier corps vs the non-top tier corps....and it got me thinking....who ARE the top tier corps??? I went back 25 years, starting with 1983 and tallied up the average placement of these top 6 corps. There are only 5 corps who have made finals 25 years in a row. Scouts would be 6th, if not for placing 14th in 2002 and 15th in 2007. Since 1983 - The last 25 years 6th - Madison Scouts, avg placement of 7.04 and 1 world title 5th - Phantom Regiment, avg placement of 4.92 and 1 world title (tied in 1996) 4th - S.C. Vangaurd avg placement of 4.00 and 2 world titles 3rd - The Cavaliers avg placement of 3.24 and 7 world titles 2nd - Blue Devils avg placement of 2.56 and 7 world titles 1st - The Cadets avg placement of 2.48 and 9 world titles notice, the world titles = 27, 3 years were tied (1996, 1999, 2000) and 1 was won by Star of Indiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless, of course, you're attempting to establish some kind of connection to a particular Corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
