hostrauser Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 So, I was looking through one of my many spreadsheets, and it suddenly hit me: With a 97.50 this past season, Carolina Crown has now scored higher at DCI Finals than Star of Indiana or the Madison Scouts ever have in either corps' history. That was just stunning to me, so I decided to compile a list: what's the HIGHEST score each corps has ever received at a DCI Finals? The results are as follows (appropriately for DCI, there's a tie for 1st place)... 99.150 The Cadets 2005 99.150 The Cavaliers 2002 99.050 Blue Devils 2009 98.800 Santa Clara Vanguard 1989 98.400 Phantom Regiment 1989 97.500 Carolina Crown 2009 97.300 Star of Indiana 1993 97.100 Madison Scouts 1988 94.800 Suncoast Sound 1986 94.450 Bluecoats 2005 94.300 Glassmen 2001 94.100 Spirit 1986 93.000 Crossmen 1997 92.500 Blue Knights 1999 92.400 Boston Crusaders 2002 91.900 27th Lancers 1981 90.800 Bridgemen 1981 90.600 Velvet Knights 1988 90.425 Blue Stars 2008 88.800 Freelancers 1984 88.550 Anaheim Kingsmen 1974 87.000 Sky Ryders 1986 86.950 Muchachos 1974 86.700 Troopers 1985 86.300 Colts 1995 86.000 Oakland Crusaders 1975 85.700 The Magic 1997 85.300 Guardsmen 1979 85.300 Kilties 1975 84.050 Cascades 2002 83.300 North Star 1979 82.900 Argonne Rebels 1972 82.400 Royal Crusaders 1975 82.400 Seneca Optimists 1977 82.200 Dutch Boy 1990 81.250 Des Plaines Vanguard 1972 77.150 Purple Lancers 1974 75.750 Black Knights 1973 73.950 Bleu Raeders 1972 72.250 Commodores 1973 Another odd statistical anomaly: until this year, the Blue Devils' highest ever Finals score was in a season the DIDN'T win the title! (98.525 in 2004, still the highest runner-up score in DCI history). Don't know what sort of conversation could arise from this; I just posted it for people to look at and go, "huh."

Bob J Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 How about this. Of the 35 HIGHER finals scores than Crown '09, all 35 of them were scored by Cavaliers, Cadets, BD, SCV and Phantom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
