1. TROOPERS!
Hold onto your (cowboy) hats because the Troopers made some BIG moves tonight. Not only did they sneak into 12th place ahead of Crossmen, but they also achieved one of the highest scores in their history: 86.675.
2. Bluecoats Jump Crown
The two corps have been in a back-and-forth battle for 3rd over the last two weeks, but tonight Bluecoats topped Crown by a margin of only 0.15 points.
3. Caption Madness?!
I don't really have much to say here aside from the title speaks for itself: the race for caption winners is going to be bonkers this year. Take a look at the full breakdown for yourself here because it's a tight race in almost every category.
4. Colts Locking It In
It's been a heck of a season for the Dubuque, Iowa corps! As of tonight, the corps is sitting in 11th place
5. Jersey Surf Squeaks Into Semis
Even after a shortened touring season, Jersey Surf makes waves by earning a spot in Friday's Semis competition. The corps earned a 74.825, which slotted them into the 25th position, just making it past the Semis cutoff.
