Yes this generally is the case, which sort of is the same in the Drum Corps activity as well. it is a bit unfortunate that a band with a "popular" show can not win because of the perceived lack of "artistic" worth. there usually is an "analysis" caption whcih suposedly judges the "artistic value" of the music, so a popular type of musical show will not score as high as a show of "classical" or unsingable music. Very frustrating.
