Best 12th place shows.


Recommended Posts

12th place has probably had the most interesting history out of all placements. It means something else every year and is completely different than it was back in the 80s. What do you think was the best 12th place show In dci history?

Just about every year they have the show design of a top 12 corps, they just don't always have the excecution

A lot of times, what makes the 12th place performance so much fun is that it's a corps that did the dirty work just to make it in to the show, and can loosen up and let go.

I'll be a homer and go with Crossmen 2012. It was a fun show, but more importantly, it got them back into finals (if only for a year), and charged up the alumni base a great deal!!!

But I also liked Colts 1994 show a lot.

99 Colts, 87 Sky Ryders, 09 Troopers

Thanks, Jeff. I wanted to include this one, but was afraid to do so for appearing too "low brow." This opening served little more than to say "Hello...we're BACK!!!!" Nothing earth-shattering in the message; but totally conclusive in the meaning.
