The average high score for Division 1 corps through July 16 was 79.324, a 5.515-point increase over June's 73.809. No one has yet cracked the 90-point barrier, although that should happen in the next day or so. A new gap is now appearing between the top three corps and the next four. The gap between the top three is a mere 1.20 points.
1. Blue Devils (up 1 place)
2. The Cavaliers (up 1)
3. The Cadets (down 2)
Places four through seven are in another dog fight, with a gap of only 1.40 points between them. The Bluecoats were briefly in second place, after beating the Blue Devils (has that ever happened before?) back on July 2nd.
4. Santa Clara Vanguard (up 2)
5. Phantom Regiment (down 1)
6. Bluecoats (down 1)
7. Carolina Crown (unchanged)
The Boston Crusaders are alone right now, the lowest corps to have broken into the 80s, then four corps are bunched together in our third dog fight (with a gap of 1.35 points). For the first time, The Academy has broken into the top 10.
8. Boston Crusaders (up 1)
9. Blue Knights (down 1)
10. The Academy (up 4)
11. Colts (unchanged)
12. Glassmen (down 2)
The bottom 10 corps have broken into three groups; the boundary between the first and second group is a little cloudy at this time:
13. Spirit from JSU (unchanged)
14. Pacific Crest (up 5)
15. Blue Stars (down 3)
16. Mandarins (down 1)
17. Crossmen (down 1)
18. Madison Scouts (up 3)
19. Southwind (up 1)
19. Troopers (down 1)
21. Seattle Cascades (down 4)
Finally, Pioneer is the only Division 1 corps to remain in the 60s:
22. Pioneer (unchanged)
Surprises: Bluecoats beating the Blue Devils on July 2; that must have been a shock to the Devils. Too bad the Bluecoats couldn't keep up their momentum. Pacific Crest - up 5 spots with the third best improvement in the past two weeks (more on this below). Madison Scouts - Have started to move upward, but it may be too little too late.
