The Blue Devils took top honors in every caption Saturday except for Brass, which they conceded to Carolina Crown. In addition to the corps' overall perfect season, which happened last in 1994, the Devils' percussion was also undefeated in caption scores throughout the season. The Holy Name Cadets finished up their 75th anniversary season in third place, earning the bronze medal.
In the only upset compared to the Semifinal results, the Blue Stars overtook Phantom Regiment for eighth place. The Troopers (12th place) took the field in the World Championship Finals for the first time in 23 years to the sound of an extremely excited and supportive crowd.
