Drum Corps Percussion: Top 12 Highest Scoring Modern Drumlines

This video ranks the highest scoring junior drum corps percussion sections in drum corps history – that were judged during after the “tick” system. Ranking is done by average scores in order to accommodate all Finals week performances. The time period covered is 1984 to 2025. Scores from 1994 to 1999 (10-point caption) are adjusted to the normative 20-point range by taking both percussion sub-caption scores, each being 100 points each (which were ultimately adjusted to 10 points at the time) and multiplying the sum score by 20 to more accurately reflect what the score would look like in a 20-point system.
