First year being at prelims, I'm guessing. The percentage reflects how many of their attempts succeeded, though the OP is incorrect on a few of them (Boston didn't show up to Whitewater 72, and neither did Colt 45's).

Top 12 this year was all deserving and i loved SOA who was just on the outside looking in. But if you twisted my arm and forced me to pick, I would say PR. Can't believe i just said that cause i love Regiment so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder which corps, if any, will be the next first-time finalist. I like thinking about this, too. But there is always the follow up: who gets bumped? Hate to see someone drop out (though it will be deserved, most likely). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 2 hours ago, Ghost said: I'm understanding "1st Year" as when a corps first finished top 12. Boston's "1st" was in 99. If this is about DCI Finals, there was no DCI finals in 71 for the BD to compete in. correct their first year was 1973 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
