Now that I take a closer look, I disagree with the Rep numbers for all three Music captions; Bloo is not getting enough credit for their rep, though I think that their execution scores are a bit high. SCV over Bloo in Music Analysis Rep? In Percussion Rep? 

Yes. SCV has the most demanding show this year, musically and visually (including color guard). They are getting rewarded in content as they should be.

Bloo has the much more enjoyable and entertaining show, but I do agree with the judges that SCV has the more demanding music (and visual) book

Well, I agree that Bloo's show is super entertaining, but I also love SCV's show, and to me it is more entertaining than Bloo's. I've watched SCV on video at least 50 times and I always see something new - there is just so much going on and it has so much depth. To each his own, which is why GE isn't based on being the crowd favorite. The top 4 really have spectacular shows this year, but IMO SCV has outdone everyone.

Again, I don't understand the Cascades scoring lower than Genesis. They refined it and changed the ending. 

Different shows. Let's see how Saturday goes first...

The reason I said Bloo has the more entertaining show than SCV is based on comparing crowd responses, not talking about scoring or GE at all.

Visually I'll grant you (although barely). Musically I disagree entirely. Bloo's Zappa book alone is more intricate than SCV's entire brass book, and from a holistic perspective Bloo's ensemble demands are greater than SCV's, which are (mostly) just chords and rips interspersed between 5 five million battery breaks. The only real change they made this year was going from "SCV's Battery and Friends" to "SCV's Battery Plus a Small Horn Ensemble and Friends".
