Disconnect between recaps and awards announced


Recommended Posts

Tonight, Fran announced that Bucs and MBI tied for high percussion, and MBI took brass.

The recaps show that MBI took high percussion outright, and Bucs, MBI, and Empire tied for brass.

I assume the recaps are correct? Why did Fran announce it differently?

We were wondering about this as well.

I know we won field brass at prelims by a couple tenths, and we won ensemble brass in finals by a tenth.

Either way, I had an awesome season. I loved it. Congratulation Bucs on #6!

you would be correct ... the caption awards were an average of the two nights

OK, so the logic of this escapes me.

Awards for Class A were changed away from Prelims to results from Finals only.

But, somehow Prelims for Open need to be taken into account for Awards at Finals?

All Prelims are used for is to say which corps make up the Top 10, and to stand in for Finals in case of an emergency (a la 1987). The corps that make Finals use Prelims as a chance for their final tweaks.

Using Prelims to help determine awards at Finals is like saying, "OK, now we'll use the results from Syracuse to help determine the awards at Scranton." Finals and Prelims are two different shows.

Unless you're in 11th, Prelims don't mean anything vis a vis Finals. Just like West Haven has nothing to do with Finals either.

Is this something new?
