I want Boston to win brass

I’ve only seen Boston live once in Atlanta, but to my ears Boston had the weakest hornline of the top 5. I’m no judge though

Ott - BD

Zingali - Boston

Sanford - Assuming judges favor a battery focus, Boston; Assuming judge places equal emphasis or stronger front ensemble focus, SCV. Both SCV's content and execution in the front ensemble is miles ahead of the pack, IMO.

I agree with this. Looking forward to seeing them the next 3 nights, though!

Best chances for the Ott:

  1. Blue Devils (My prediction for the award)
  2. Crown
  3. I will not rule out Boston. Amazing brass line, and Cadets brass beat SCV the other night so I am not sure if that was a bad night for SCV. Bloo is potentially top 3, but I don't know about top 2.  Performance is the key, but I think it comes down to BD and Crown.

Best chances for the Zingali

  1. Boston (my prediction to take the caption award)
  2. Blue Devils

Best chances for the Sanford

  1. Santa Clara (my pick)
  2. Boston Crusaders
  3. Blue Devils

Overall Visual (Guard, Proficiency, Analysis)

  1. Blue Devils (My pick)
  2. Boston Crusaders
  3. Bluecoats

Overall General Effect

  1. Blue Devils (My pick)
  2. Bluecoats
  3. Boston
  4. Carolina

Can a Corps win all three of these captions, and not win the gold medal ?

can BD not win any of these captions and still become 20x ?

Ott feels a bit more up for grabs than most years, but I'll go Crown - such a proven winner > 0.2 margin

Zingalli goes to Boston, but my own "most improved award" go to BD (BIG improvement since show #1) and Crown (big improvement from 2018/2019 > 0.3 margin

Sandford stays with SCV, just edging out Boston. Bloo in 3rd, they're crazy good, but not as clean > 0.1 margin

I think I agree. 

Truthfully though, whether Boston wins the Sandford, they’re going down in history as legends (and setting themselves up to ###### it next year.) I’d be more excited if they took it. But SCV won’t choke, and Bloo/BD can’t be expected to either.
