To those who have studied recaps, did Knights make the biggest jump of the evening?

I am a huge fan of their book and brass, but no way they should finish ahead of Cadets. 

I have to feel that the Cadets get dinged in brass for not playing as many notes as others. There are two moments where they have extensive breaks. Isn't fewer notes to play easier?

But show design has to count somewhere. I do not personally like cadets' show, but it's certainly more demanding and interesting than Blue Knights. Is Knights THAT much better in percussion and brass?

No it shows you how the 3 visual judges each judge something different in the caption...

SCV and Crown have been swapping 2nd and 3rd in that caption most of the season.

On the flip side, using BD logic, they've already shown that they can do that skill.  They're just moving on to other varieties...

Lol so many whiners. 

Haters gonna hate, do it up Devils!!

with all due respect - I'm not sure folks are "whining" (well - some are lol) as much as just stating their take on things

I personally think the scoring this season is very out of whack

Devils should be winning by more (IMO)

Other corps are completely in the wrong order

But in the end it seems the "right" corps (IMO) will win and the rest isn't life and death

and the horn line plays around the same amount of time as BK - and so they might want to stop watch the two corps because they are mistaken

most of the top corps play around 7:30 to 8:15, some a few less and one a bit more
