fighterkit Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Does anyone have a list of the Jim ott winners through the years as well as the brass caption head? I’m curious to see if there’s certain instructors that have won more Otts or if it’s more random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been working on a personal project to track the best horn lines through the years, Finals only (if you can't do it Saturday night, it doesn't matter to me). I combine the placements for all brass captions and score them by lowest average placement. I've gotten from 1972 through 2003. If anyone is interested, I'll post some of the best stuff I've gleaned so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Go for it T4J. Many of us might find your information interesting. Thanks Edited January 7, 2019 by Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I've got a few minutes at work, so I'll post some Blue Devils info... talk about dominant. Through the first 32 years of DCI (even though BD wasn't around for the first two years) Devils placed in the top 3 horn lines 27 times. They were 7th in 1974, and 4th in 1987 and 1995. They had the top horn line 12 times... Cadets are a distant 2nd with five. Nine times a corps finished first in all horn placements... and BD did it four times, including three in a row from 1980-1982 (the other time was 2003). I'll get more posted tonight while I'm watching the CFP title game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I believe BD has 23 brass titles. I need to update my BD stats spread sheet....will advise. Edit...found the spreadsheet. I show BD winning or tying brass 76-77, 79-82, 84-86, 88, 91,93-95, 97-99, 01, 03-04, 07-08, 10, 14 Edited January 7, 2019 by 84BDsop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Not surprised about 1993. Arguably the most sophisticated brass book written to that date. Some seriously meaty stuff in terms of technical challenges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More talking about the raw nuts and bolts/Analysis of the BD book. They did win Field Brass in prelims, no surprise to me. Uncertain about finals.
