Phil,
I must disagree.  I only heard 10 of the 21 bands, but that included 5 of 
the 'top' 6.  I had Faireys, YBS, B&R then Ransomes.  For my mind Ransomes 
played by far the most musical performance of the day.  I heard bits in the 
their performance that nobody else played (!).  Yes, the adjudicators' 
placings were (in some cases very) varied, but IMO, this just shows the 
preferences between 'musicality' and 'technicality'.  Mr Brand's placings 
seem to be given to the musical performances (in particular Ransomes, 
Aveley), and the other two go for the sound and accuracy (YBS...).

If a band knows who the adjudicator is, they may play the piece differently 
according to his/her preferences.  In the Masters' case, bands (I assume) 
just had to choose a performance style that they themselves thought was 
best.

Ho hum.  Flame retardant clothing at the ready...
