Sideways Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 No clue why I started thinking about this but after Santa Clara winning brass and percussion last month I had to go back and look at recaps to see the last time someone won both. I clearly remember Cadets 2005 since they won every caption (sub-caption) and the next most recent was BD in 2007. It really did not occur to me how rare it is to have a corps to win both. Brass was being traded back and forth between the top four this year until finals week...SCV peaked at the right time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking all 3 "majors" in 2 seasons is TOUGH if they keep their current design team together we may see other wins and medals for SCV in the next few seasons to come!

Doubly so if they repeated. If there were a way to evaluate performances without such biases, we'd probably be very surprised with results.

Who's on first? Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Are we talking finals night, or the average between all three competitions, like the awards are currently given? When did that format start happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Dixon Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I thought SCV won brass in 87? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
