The first night of the 2026 DCI Open Class World Championships opened up the Championships week festivities between Dayton, OH and Indianapolis.
The Battalion continued their massive growth, finishing first in prelims and topping their highest score ever of 79.750 from 2025.
Gold finished in second place just a few tenths behind.
After not being seen by judges since early July, Blue Devils B retook their spot in the top three of the Open Class corps despite performing second in prelims.
