One last performance stands between us and the end of the DCI World Championship 2024. To commemorate another historic season (almost) in the books, check out these five interesting facts and stats to keep in mind as we head into the Finals for the 2024 DCI World Championship.

The Finals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis advanced 12 corps from the semifinals as the best in DCI moved one step closer to their final run-through.

The first corps competed in the early afternoon and the first set of scores were released during the second intermission. The Spartans had the highest score of the first set of performances with 81.038.

1. Madison Scouts is returning to Finals for the first time in seven years.

The last time the Scouts performed at Finals was in 2017, before announcing that they made the shift from being all-male to being inclusive of all genders. Their show was titled, 'The Last Man Standing.'

2. It's a battle for the Fred Sanford Percussion Award between Boston Crusaders and Santa Clara Vanguard.

On Prelims night, Boston won Percussion with a score of 19.600, however, Santa Clara Vanguard took home the win in Percussion in Semis with a score of 19.750. Scores are averaged across all three nights to determine the caption winner after the conclusion of finals.

3. Phantom Regiment is poised to receive its highest score in over ten years.

The last time Regiment scored over 94 was in the 2012 season with its show 'Turandot.' They would earn 3rd that season.

4. The Battalion ended its 2024 season on a high note after a stellar tour around Indiana.

With a score of 74.425, the Utah-based corps tied for 24th place at DCI World Championship Semifinals, its highest-ever placement. It's only their third year attending the DCI World Championships. They were also voted "Most Improved" among the Open Class corps.

5. The hottest ticket in town is DCI World Championship Finals.

Attendance throughout the weekend has been strong, and all signs point to Finals being one of the largest crowds ever on Saturday night.
