Last night 40 groups came together at the Capital Challenge hosted by Robinson Secondary School. As we get closer to the end of the season we are beginning to see some groups pull ahead and others lag behind, so without further ado, let's begin with the score results!
First let's go over the percussion results!

After week 3 ends, we no longer promote groups in the IIEA except for groups that receive a score of 98 or higher. Because of such as high score, The Drum Circlers will be bumped to the A class if they participate in any other IIEA shows the rest of the season. After 3rd place scores begin to get closer with a noticeable gap between 4th and 5th place.
