Carmel jumps back to the top spot in the rankings after earning a second consecutive national championship and winning every caption in finals — a first for any band at Grand Nats. Broken Arrow and Marcus also increased their placements after their impressive finishes in Indianapolis.

The most impressive jump, however, happened to Dobyns-Bennett, who jumped from the Next 10 to no. 12, after placing an impressive sixth place at Grand Nats. Earlier this season, DB finished second behind Fort Mill at the Winston-Salem Regional, leading some to worry if they would be able to repeat as a finalist at Grand Nats.
