Blue Devils are still the only undefeated World Class corps remaining in 2012. The corps stood their ground at Drum Corps International (DCI) Minnesota on Saturday, July 14. It was DCI's largest event of the 2012 summer season to date, coming out ahead of 17 other World Class corps in competition.
Blue Devils became first with a score of 86.30, snapping Carolina Crown's 14-win streak. Carolina Crown placed second with 85.80 points. The Cadets (83.80) placed third.
Rounding out the top six were Phantom Regiment (4th, 83.65), Santa Clara Vanguard (5th, 81.70) and Bluecoats (6th, 81.35).
In a historic turn of events, Boston Crusaders (78.85) took seventh, with the Cavaliers (78.65) behind in eighth. The last time Boston Crusaders placed ahead of the Cavaliers was at the 1978 DCI World Championship Prelims in Denver, also by two-tenths of a point.
