DrumCorpsRadio Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 August 12, 2016 -- August 7, 2015 2016 - There weren't too many changes in position, but one was a doozy! Boston Crusaders passed Madison Scouts to take the last spot in finals. This show was the only time that Boston beat Madison head-to-head. The Cavaliers also retook the #5 spot from The Cadets and Genesis passed Legends for #23. Blue Knights saw the biggest score increase over prelims (+0.700) while Legends fell the most (-2.825). The Academy makes finals for the first time in its history. Madison Scouts miss finals for the first time since 2009. 2015 - Blue Devils return from a penalty the night before with the largest score increase (+1.275), good for 2 spots in the standings from #4 to #2. Mandarins decrease (-0.600). The only other corps moving in placement is The Cadets, switching spots with Blue Devils in 4th position. Year over Year - For the second year in a row, we head into finals with a corps having won the first two nights of the weekend (Bluecoats in 2016, Carolina Crown in 2015) but a very small lead (0.275 in 2016, 0.150 in 2015). Once again the #3 corps is also less than 1 point out of the lead (0.338 in 2016, 1.000 in 2015). Four corps are now on track for an improvement of 4 positions from 2015 to 2016: The Cavaliers (#9 to #5), The Academy (#15 to #11), Blue Devils B (#19 to #15), Gold (#34 to #30). Madison Scouts (#8 to #13) had the greatest decline year over year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluecoats win its first world championship. The Cadets finish in its lowest position in 25 years (6th in 1991). Crossmen finish in its highest position since 2013 (9th). The Academy finishes in 11th, its highest finish ever and first finals appearance. Santa Clara Vanguard saw the greatest improvement (+0.412) while The Academy decreased most (-1.125). 2015 - Blue Devils gain a spot to upset Carolina Crown on finals night. No other changes in placement. Crossmen increase most night over night after a penalty on semifinals night (+1.150) matched by Bluecoats (+1.150). Blue Stars lost the most ground (-0.125). Year over Year - In the end, 4 corps improved by 4 positions from 2015 to 2016: The Cavaliers (#9 to #5), The Academy (#15 to #11), Blue Devils B (#19 to #15), Gold (#34 to #30). Madison Scouts (#8 to #13) had the greatest decline year over year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
