Did you know? The 1974 Santa Clara Vanguard, 1977 Blue Devils, and 1984 Garfield Cadets were the only corps to successfully defend their first title. The average placement drop for the other 7 corps following their first win (putting 2025 Boston Crusaders aside, as the 2026 season hasn't happened at this writing) is 3.3 places (ranging from 1 place to 5)
