In 2014, the international corps was scheduled based on the score they'd earned in the O.C. tour. In 2015 the three international corps went on first. This year, the international corps goes on last. Not really important; just noting that quirk.

I like this placement for them. It lets them still be scored but also serve as an "encore" for the Open Class corps.

Caught them via FloMarching at Allentown the other day and really like the show.

The Company's show is solid. They totally earned that 71 last night. And that suggests that in a month, i.e., at the time of the DCA championships where their rival Kidsgrove Scouts are appearing, they'd score roughly an 80. Which since Kidsgrove historically has placed about 6th with a score near 90, implies that the top DCA corps, at the time of their championship, are putting on shows that would score in the upper 80s in DCI (maybe touching 90 occasionally.)

The three International Class Corps went on last at Open Class Prelims 2015

They went on first in finals exactly as THE COMPANY will do so no quirk 

"Open and International Class corps will kick off the 2015 DCI World Championships, Monday, August 3, in Michigan City, Indiana. 

The Open Class portion of the following lineup is based upon the average of those corps’ two highest scores from shows held between July 22 and August 1.

Oof! You're right. My bad. I was looking at the Open Class Finals lineup, where they went on first.

(But Taipei Yuehfu did go on fourth in 2013, following three North American corps.)

Great show last night!

Will be nice to finally get the two tour tracks together. There hasn't been a lot of consistency of scoring from show to show, or city to city for the corps. In my homer case, Guardians could be 7th, or could be 11th. We shall see.

I have a strong feeling they will improve on their placement from last year for sure.  Where that is?  We shall see.
