You're assuming BD will win, esp. with a score at or above 99.15. Cadets, Bluecoats, and SCV might have something to say about that.

Also, with a score above 99.15, the Blue Devils will likely have to win nearly every single caption and subcaption. They probably won't take brass and percussion is too competitive to guarantee anything.

The high 99 scores usually only happen when the top corps is pretty far ahead of their competition. Specifically, they usually end up running away with most every caption. This season doesn't seem to want that to happen for Blue Devils. Bluecoats, SCV, and especially Cadets seem like they're close enough to BD to take some captions away, or at the very least make it close. Percussion is a key area. I could see BD breaking 99, but definitely not the 99.15.

Without controlling for when the season starts/ends, BD hit 95+ on 7/25/2009 (OK, 2 days later than this year), 94+ on 7/25/2008.

Percussion is too iffy. If Vanguard, Bluecoats, Cadets, and Cavaliers all go in with rock star performances, and BD's line has an ok, but not great run, whoever's on Percussion will be hard pressed to find room for them in the high 19s, which would make it hard to pop that score ceiling.

This. They'd have to get a handful of 20's to score that high without winning some captions.
