DCImonkey Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Fortunately there are fewer corps in World Class today, so the fall doesn't have quite as many stories. You might even be able to survive a fall to the bottom :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Curious....what's the furthest a DCI Champion fell from winning the previous year? The real question you should ask is what is the SECOND furthest fall from the previous year? Then you should ask what is the greatest RISE from one year to the championship?

hostrauser Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Madison Scouts were on quite the roller coaster in the late 80s... 1987 - 6th 1988 - 1st 1989 - 7th (Dis)honorable mention: The 2000 Blue Knights finished 6th, with a score of 92.00. The 2001 Blue Knights didn't make Finals. I'm not sure another corps from the modern era has scored/placed so high one year and missed Finals the next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Curiously, no one seems to have ever fallen to eighth place the year after winning. Here are all the "next year results"; for fun, I threw DCA champions into the mix, as well: 9th Place Regiment '09 7th Place Scouts '89 Westshoremen '97 6th Place Hurricanes '68 Kingsmen '73 Vanguard '90 Cadets '91 5th Place Cavaliers '93 Cadets '06 4th Place Skyliners '67 Buccaneers '69 Skyliners '76 Sunrisers '84 Cadets '86 Devils '87 Cadets '88 Cavaliers '96 Regiment '97 Cadets '99 Vanguard '00 Caballeros '04 Cadets '12 3rd Place Buccaneers '66 Hurricanes '70 Caballeros '71 Devils '78 Vanguard '79 Sunrisers '79 Buccaneers '81 Hurricanes '82 Caballeros '86 Bushwackers '87 Bushwackers '91 Star '92 Bushwackers '94 Devils '95 Statesmen '95 Devils '98 Statesmen '99 Devils '00 Cavaliers '07 2nd Place Skyliners '72 Vanguard '75 Caballeros '75 Vanguard '76 Caballeros '77 Devils '81 Vanguard '82 Devils '83 Sunrisers '89 Empire '92 Cadets '94 Caballeros '96 Brigadiers '98 Cadets '01 Cavaliers '02 Brigadiers '02 Devils '04 Cavaliers '02 Statesmen '02 Devils '08 Devils '11 Buccaneers '11 Brass '12 Devils '13 1st Place (i.e., repeat) Caballeros '73-74 (three-peat) Vanguard '74 Devils '77 Sunrisers '78 Devils '80 Buccaneers '80 Sunrisers '83 Cadets '84-85 (three-peat) Caballeros '85 Sunrisers '88 Bushwackers '89-90 (three-peat) Bushwackers '93 Devils '97 Statesmen '98 Brigadiers '00-02 (four-peat) Cavaliers '01-02 (three-peat) Buccaneers '06-10 (six-peat) Devils '10 Let me know if you see any mistakes.

PurpleKnights Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Cadets 2006 was chock-full of schadenfreude for people who hated Cadets 2005. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostrauser Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Cadets 2006 was chock-full of schadenfreude for people who hated Cadets 2005. I actually liked 2006's show design better than 2005. The execution/performance level was nowhere close, of course, but I thought the overall concept and design were better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsubone Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I agree. I just wish they hadn't taken out the History Repeating intro. That was a really cool part. With the intro from the year before, plus the singing was an awesome intro. I wonder if it got cut because of time problems, or because judges said it didn't work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
