D2 Top 12
-Hexstatic (#1)
-Black Beat NZ B (#2)
-Pulse Percussion (#3)
-Chuck Norris' Triangle (#8)
-Red Drumlins (aka The Precinct) (#10)
The second division in PEARL is STACKED. Hexstatic is looking at it's second consecutive D2 medal. Black Beat NZ B's strategy of accepting relegation has most certainly paid off. Pulse Percussion is a full point ahead of 4th place. Chuck Norris' Triangle and the Red Drumlins are comfortably in the top 12. Once you get past Red Drumlins, however, PEARL doesn't have another group in the top 30. Total semifinalists: 9.
DIVISION 3 TOP TEN
1) XYZ-2.0 (165 points)
2) Swiggity Swooty Drums of the Booty (121 points)
3) Cadets of Blue Beats (115 points)

8) Acceleration (47 points)
9) The Chieftain Attack (39 points)
10) Lancing Strikers (32 points)
D3 Top 12
-XYZ-2.0 (#1)
-Bluemen Percussion Ensamble (#12)
XYZ-2.0 is really good. Not really anything else I can say. They're almost 5 points ahead of silver, and it's still growing. Blueman Percussion Ensamble is hanging on at #12 after their rebranding (formerly New World Drumline). If they stumble, Swiggity Swooty Drums of the Booty is poised to swoop in from #13. Six more PEARL lines litter the D3 top 30. Total semifinalists:12.
OVERALL TOP FIVE
1) XYZ-2.0 (165 points) (D3)
2) Ear Drummers (144 points) (D1)
3) Black Beat NZ B (141 points) (D2)
