What was the first corps to win a championship in open class and world class?

• A. Blue Devils
• B. Santa Clara Vanguard
• C. The Cadets
• D. Carolina Crown

Answer: (D)

This question tests recognizing a milestone across divisions: winning championships in both Open Class and World Class. Carolina Crown is the first corps to achieve that cross-division success, earning a championship in Open Class and later capturing the World Class title. This demonstrates a program’s ability to rise from the Open Class level to the top tier and continue to win at the highest level, a distinction no other corps had reached first.
