 Welcome to Drum Corps World
Corps who score exceptionally well at the Drum Corps International Division II/III Finals this year in Madison, WI will not advance to Division I Quarterfinals or Semifinals unless they declare their intent to compete in division I in 2003.
Essentially, DCI has been giving the Mandarins and other corps a break since 1997 by ignoring the line in the Quarterfinalist Policy that states the corps didn't have the option to compete in division II once the corps placed in the top 21 overall.
One idea is to develop a new classification that would allow a corps like the Spartans or Capital Regiment to declare for division I, compete at quarterfinals and semifinals and even DCI Finals, but then travel on a shorter tour than full-fledged division I corps.

 Daniel Sickles
After Sickles was wounded, III Corps was under the operational commend of Winfield Hancock, who was coördinating the center of the Army of the Potomac.
This may have been a factor that led Sickles to redeploy III Corps, originally posted at the far left on Cemetery Ridge to the summit of Little Round Top, forward to higher ground along the Emmitsburg Road from the Peach Orchard and the Wheat Field and anchored on the Devil's Den.
Another speculation as to the motivation for this move is that he may have recalled his recent experience at Chancellorsville where Joe Hooker had ordered III Corps to move from the high ground at Hazel Grove only to be subsequently savaged by Confederate artillery that had occupied his abandoned position.
