I'll go with recent times and bubble corps that should or maybe shouldn't have made finals if that's OK. As we know from other threads, we seniors have a tough time recalling and comprehending what we had for breakfast pre-this morning. 

2019 :

Colts, Madison, Pacific Crest 

2018:

Madison, SCVC 

2017:

Mandarins, Academy - in fact all years Academy didn't make finals in the last 5 or 6 years.

Off the top of my head:

Blue Stars - Blue World, should have made finals but they needed just a few more hours of intensive rehearsal on that great Myron Rosander drill (RIP).

OC - the southern death trip show. I forget the title. 

OC - Dreaming in Color

Vanguard Cadets - Becoming Vanguard

Colts - All of them, Katie.

Troopers - The Road Home, Duels and Duets - hated the tarps but absolutely loved the transition from the tango into Nessun  Dorma.

There’s so many more but those are a few right off the top of my head.

I think that's "My Heart, My Battle, My Soul" (2013), their first year in World Class.

The placeholder posts on the first page of this thread have now been populated with three (multi-post) lists: (1) every non-Finalist show listed alphabetically, every 13th-25th place* show ordered alphabetically, (2) every show ranked 26th or below* at championships ordered by corps, (3) and every show that wasn't at championships but did receive a DCI score at some point during the season (mostly corps from western states), ordered by year.

*Note that in 2010, Open Class corps did not appear in World Class Prelims, so there were only 23 corps ranked in World Class that year.

The task of generating all these lists was made easier thanks to the existence of Drum Corps Xperience (formerly CorpsReps), an incredibly useful site.

A reminder that if you list more than twelve corps, only the first twelve in your post will be counted when tabulating.
