kalad's_phantoms_regiment Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Just going with the years that I know well, so ignoring 1972-1997 because there are finalist shows from those years that I haven't seen: 1998-SCV 1999-SCV 2000-Cadets 2001-Cadets 2002-BD 2003-BD 2004-BD 2005-Phantom 2006-Phantom 2007-BD 2008-Phantom 2009-BD 2010-Crown 2011-Cadets 2012-Crown 2013-Crown 2014-BD 2015-Crown 2016-Crown 2017-Crown 2018-SCV 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious who everyone thinks SHOULD have won the award. Include who did win the award, if they won it that year, but change to who you would have picked if it's different. 1988-SCV Dude, do you even Brass? SCV's 1988 hornline is THE reason they didn't win. Intonation issues and poor tone quality at times sank them. That year, there were 6 judges: Performance Brass, Percussion, Visual and the same in GE. SCV's combined Percussion was 0.5 ahead of Madison, who was 0.1 ahead of SCV in overall Visual. That leaves Brass, where Madison -- warts, splats and all -- beat SCV by 0.6. Vanguard lost to Madison by 0.2. Yikes. Really?

Sideways Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 19 hours ago, Lance said: I thought BD's brass in 2018 was its worst in years. Still good, but far from being a 1st place line. Well-deserved for SCV. Just IMO. On the semi's broadcast (I know its different than live) there were a few blatant missed releases and soloists ripping through the ensemble when they were not being featured. Last issue is more of an ensemble (electronics) hiccup but these were mistakes that are extremely uncharacteristic of a BD hornline. I would rate them 4th at best this past summer. SCV took brass all three nights with opening the spread over Crown on finals night....it was an extremely well deserved win with a very aggressive approach to playing. Not saying Crown plays it safe but relative to what SCV did this summer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2000Cadet Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 As much as I love 1997 Cadets, the brass line was terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the HARDEST books ever written, front to back. Their 4th place Brass score (remember: FIRST place in GE Music) was akin to the early Cavalier wins. Low brass performance, high GE, etc. Now, 1989 Cadets? Terrible. And the book wasn't nearly as rough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkrepps Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Boston Crusaders in every spot. Great hornline, really terrific, very beautiful. Other corps hornlines…total disaster. Everyone agrees. Believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommeee Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 This topic is not really clear. What is the list in the first post supposed to represent? Anyway, two years I'm thinking about off the top of my head: Star 1990 and Cadets 2015. Based on brass difficulty and performance level within the context of those difficult shows, they really stand out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
