Blue Devils take Atlanta
Aug 2, 2010

All 23 World Class corps performed head-to-head in the same venue on the same day. On Saturday, July 31st at the DCI Atlanta Southeastern Championship Presented by Lake Oconee and Greene County, GA at the Georgia Dome, the Blue Devils (1st, 95.65) confidently established themselves as the corps to beat at the World Championship Finals in Indianapolis now less than two weeks away.

"Right now we have a huge target on our backs", said Blue Devils' drum major Andrew Rogers. "It's the same thing as last year. If you're ahead, you know everybody's gunning for you so you just can't let up. We can't let that get to us. Yeah we're ahead, but there's two weeks left. Anything can happen in those two weeks."

The Bluecoats (2nd, 93.75) slightly expanded their lead over the Cavaliers (3rd, 93.10), with .65 now standing between them. Carolina Crown (92.55) claimed 4th place, improving on their previous score by two tenths. And though scores have leveled out recently for the Cadets (5th, 91.45), the corps isn't ready to put its soldiers back in the toy chest.

All scores can be found at www.dci.org/scores.
