We’re Off to the Races!
Welcome to our 1st “Drill-ceptional Report” for the 2017-18 School year … for Breezin’ Thru Theory Mad Dash Drills! The goal is to keep things fun for students, while building mastery, and providing some well deserved recognition.
And Wow – what a start it’s been!
- There are many new schools on the Leaderboard, including four new Regional #1’s!
- The South has taken an early lead … with 10 schools ranking among the Top 25 (3500+ Drills).
- Students have submitted over 382,000+ Drills so far, which is 60% more than last year. Which also made us add new server capacity just to keep up. Whew!
- And on Sept. 27, Allen HS (TX) AP Music Theory students submitted the 2 Millionth Breezin’ Thru Theory drill ever!
Here’s how Drill-ceptional works: We’ve divided North America into 5 regions … North, South, East, West, and Central. Every few months we’ll identify the TOP 3 schools for each region (subject to your permission). Results are based on the total number of drills submitted to date for the 2017-18 school year, AND the school’s average needs to be 90% or higher on these drills to qualify.
Drum Roll Please …. The “Drill-ceptional” Schools as of Oct. 31, 2017 are:
Here are the 5 Regions
The Top 3 Schools in each region are listed below. Congrats!!!
