Regular Season Concludes

The regular season is now officially over and a great one it has been. In the last two shows of the season, Reading Buccaneers in their own show, retained #1 seed in prelims with a convincing 5 point victory over the Brigadiers and a final score of 95.538. In West Haven, CT, Empire Statesmen survived going on first and remained seeded second by posting a 94.213 score over second place Caballeros and Third place Hurricanes.

Other significant happenings included Brigadiers squeeking over Bushwackers in seeding as they broke the 90 barrier at 90.075 in Reading while Bushwackers posted an 89.680 in West Haven. One of the more significant scores of the night was Crusaders strong 3rd place finish in Reading with a 85.238 raising them back into the top 10 in seedings just slightly ahead of Racine Kilties. Declared Class A positioning moved about a bit as Fusion Core and Dansville White Sabers both moved up in seedings.

The strength of the top 7 or 8 corps combined with the fight for the top 10 make next week one of the most interesting in the 44 year history of The DCA World Championships and what about Class A??? Amazing competion with clearly 7 or 8 corps with a shot at those final 4 positions and scores amazingly close to the coveted 10th place member corps status... The entire weekend at Paetec Park in Rochester is going to be exciting and just plain fun to watch and enjoy.

Final seedings and order of appearance in Prelims will be posted tomorrow.
