wilme861 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) The guard and brass captions are very tight this year. Percussion is basically set in stone already. But here is how it currently stands for the top 2 corps in those captions... George Zingali Best Color Guard Award 1st) Boston Crusaders 2nd) Blue Devils Scenarios for finals: Boston loses to BD by less than 0.1 pts, ties, or beats BD by any margin: Boston wins the caption BD beats Boston by more than 0.1 pts: BD wins the caption Jim Ott Best Brass Performance Award 1st) Santa Clara Vanguard 2nd) Carolina Crown Scenarios for finals: SCV loses to Crown by less than 0.1 pts, ties, or beats Crown by any margin: SCV wins the caption Crown beats SCV by more than 0.1 pts: Crown wins the caption Fred Sanford Best Percussion Performance Award 1st) Santa Clara Vanguard 2nd) Blue Devils Scenarios for finals: SCV loses to BD by less than 0.4 pts, ties, or beats BD by any margin: SCV wins the caption BD beats SCV by more than 0.4 pts: BD wins the caption Donald Angelica Best General Effect Award 1st) Santa Clara Vanguard 2nd) Bluecoats Scenarios for finals: SCV loses to Bluecoats by less than 0.875 pts, ties, or beats Bluecoats by any margin: SCV wins the caption Bluecoats beats SCV by more than 0.875 pts: Bluecoats wins the caption John Brazale Best Visual Performance Award 1st) Santa Clara Vanguard 2nd) Blue Devils Scenarios for finals: SCV loses to BD by less than 0.4 pts, ties, or beats BD by any margin: SCV wins the caption BD beats SCV by more than 0.4 pts: BD wins the caption Edited August 11, 2018 by wilme861 Typos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman1084 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 BD is 2nd in guard at the moment. 19.3 average vs. 19.2 average. SCV has a 19.08 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadevilina Crown Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 VP and GE are also pretty much set in stone. Both will most likely go to SCV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortAndFast Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 If you want to add the other 2. Don Angelica GE: 1) SCV 2) Bloo Bloo has to win by 0.875+ to take it. Brazale Visual Performance: 1) SCV 2) BD 3) Bloo BD has to beat SCV by 0.4+ to take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tad_MMA Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Wow. If SCV wins the Ott tonight, that will be the first time EVER to solely win High Brass. Their 2 awards were shared ('84/'87). Here's a poser: which corps finished the lowest but still won a competitive caption award? (Spirit was 10th in '87 and won guard - not part of the 100 pts.) I think it's the '82 Bridgemen. 8th place corps, high Percussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as many folks remember, Oakland Crusaders won drums in Prelims in 1977 but the corps did not make Finals. BD won drums in Finals that year. Probably the right call on '82 Bridgemen. It would have to be in the tick system. Lowest placement in the "modern" (non-tick) era for a caption winner I think is 2010 Phantom Regiment (won the Sanford but finished 6th). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onionhead Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 What if Crown goes all out to win Brass, but visual is compromised. And Boston takes fourth place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
