DCA Rankings - Mid-July

Below are the current rankings for DCA corps as of July 15th. Once again, take these rankings with a large grain of salt. Of the 21 corps, only 6 marched two shows or more, and 3 corps didn't march at all in this time period. What shouldn't be taken lightly is the sorry state of DCA performances so far this year compared to this time last year. Only 5 corps are doing better this year than last and 6 corps have abysmal scores compared to what they did last year. Let's practice a little harder, people! (Note: The rankings have been updated as I had forgotten to add Fusion Core's results to the listings yesterday. Mea culpa!)
