Since the Friday and Saturday DCI Eastern Classic events in Allentown, Pa. are considered to be one show in two parts with the same adjudication panel, the results from both days will be considered as being from one event.

Five corps broke 90 points in Allentown; only one more than had accomplished that feat at the DCI Southeastern Championship in Atlanta the previous weekend. Two additional corps broke 80 for a total of 15, and all 22 corps broke 70 for the first time. While every corps increased their score from Atlanta, six corps bettered their finish and seven corps finished lower than on the previous Sunday.

The scores of the two Effect captions are counted for full value, but with two judges in each Visual and Music Effect, the score from each Effect judge is averaged together with the score from the other judge in that caption. The scores of the three Visual and three Music captions are divided in half before being added to the final score, since each of those six judges utilize a scale up to a maximum of 20 points.
