The long list of non-notable performances is not pertinent in an encyclopedia articles. Please see WP:INDISCRIMINATEOnel5969TT me 15:34, 16 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Firstly, I can find several mentions of each show in local news, year-by-year (e.g., [1] or [2]) or in show announcements by either FloMarching or Drum Corps International (e.g., [3]). Secondly, a list of scores and placements for a competitive team that competes at the national level is not undue nor indiscriminate. Such results have been tabulated on a few third-party websites, and I don't see why a comprehensive encyclopedia should not have them either. You would have trouble deleting the season results from the Hickory Crawdads article for a similar reason. Why? I Ask (talk) 15:56, 16 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
WP:OSE is a weak argument. But in keeping with your thinking, there are far more folks interested in baseball than their are in competitive drum and bugle corps competitions. Just realized this was AfD'd just last year. Onel5969TT me 16:36, 16 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
I mean, then the same argument could be made toward Carolina Queens of which the same low interest exists. However, even if it were true that there's low interest (even though there's not, and many drum corps centric circles have discussed such removal on Drum. Corps Planet or r/drumcorps), Wikipedia does not include information solely on the basis of interest. That's not how it works, and you know it. (I know forums aren't the greatest argument, but it shows at the very least that there's people that find the information useful, so a supposed "low interest" is moot.)
Also, WP:OSEis a valid argument in this case because it's comparing two broad consensus-formed situations that are fundamentally the same. (And this is not a deletion discussion.) I'm also not sure why you feel the need to tag it for speedy deletion. You can check a mirror and see the sources and history section are fundamentally different. Why?

I also don't know about the whole baseball being more cared about than drum corps. Sure, holistically as a sport, but a random pageview analysis shows several drum corps articles that have more or about the same views than the Crawdads [4]. Another moot point. Why?
