I’m no judge though True. You're not. Boston was 3rd in brass with the brass judge in the San Antonio Regional, and the brass judge at your Atlanta Regional had them 2nd in brass. That said, fans out of their training, experience, often chime in with what their untrained eyes and ears assess. I will sometimes chime in on percussion performance levels, when in reality I have never played nor taught any Drum of any kind in any Drum Corps.

Crown won 3 captions in 2016 and got third. I think you can have the best corps while not touching what judges deem as the best show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gak27 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Question: from what I found on DCI's website, the caption awards are determined as follows: BEST BRASS – based on Music Brass score BEST PERCUSSION – based on the total Music Percussion score BEST VISUAL – based on Visual Proficiency score BEST COLOR GUARD – based on Visual Color Guard score BEST OVERALL GENERAL EFFECT – based on combining 4 General Effect scores Is this still the case? If so, what is meant by "total" Music Percussion score, and how/why is that different than Music Brass? Assuming the above is all still in effect, my read of the Prelims recap gives us the following: General Effect (combining 4 GE scores) 1. BD - 78 2. BAC - 77.05 3. BC - 76.05 4. CC - 75.95 5. SCV - 74.55 Visual 1. BC - 19.55 2. BD - 19.5 3. BAC - 19.4 4. CC - 19.2 5. SCV - 19.1 Color Guard 1. BAC - 19.2 2. BD - 19.0 3. BC - 18.7 4. CC - 18.65 5. SCV - 18.4 Percussion 1. BD - 19.65 2. BC - 19.55 3. SCV - 19.35 4. BAC - 19.25 5. CC - 19.05 Brass 1. BD - 19.6 2. CC - 19.5 3. BAC - 19.45 4. BC - 19.1 5. Cadets - 18.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBo1974 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Crown won't win the Ott. I think it is evident the judges don't favor what's happening there this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe for 2022, BDs brass is just better and winning fair and square. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the tone and quality on the Conn Selner horns has helped BD get back to their classic sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
