Generally drumline quality extends further down the rankings than brass line, from what I've been able to see. I think it's a factor of there being less spots, so even the lower-end groups get good talent.

As a thought experiment example, if you assumed the top x of each section go to the top corps, then the next x best go to the next best corps, you'd expect the 21st best corps to have the 401st-420th best trumpets, while the 21st best corps would have the 181st-189th best snares.

Thanks, but now my brain hurts! ;-)

I've said it before, but every corps should come up with its own unique fan response to the "Is your corps ready?" question, so that we only ever have to hear "They're always ready" and "They were born ready" once each.

High camera feed is about 10 seconds behind the multi-cam feed.

But do you remember this guy?

Nope. What's he doing and which corps is that?

Interesting thought. An unknown variable, are there the same number of trumpet players as snares and is their talent level up and down the ranks equivalent? Is snare#200 more or less talented than trumpet #200?
