Fred Windish Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 In a year like this, it almost seems criminal to only announce ONE top prize. What to do? From an earlier comment ..... A logical, next progression in judging MIGHT be, awarding more than one top medal. It's almost blasphemous to many, but under such a change we could eventually read this headline: Three corps received GOLD Medals at this year's DCI World Class Championships in Indianapolis. They are Carolina Crown, Bluecoats, and Blue Devils (all just used for illustration). Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamahoNow Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Maybe everyone should get Gold Medals, just like in the Olympics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...let's water down excellence and just give everyone a participation medal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mboogey73 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 One of the worst ideas I've ever seen on this board. Right up there with making fan reaction part of a corps score. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wigwam Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I know, lets lets just give everyone a participation trophy and forget judging all together. After all, the pursuit of excellence is so cruel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, the pursuit of excellence is so cruel. It would turn into those county adjudication deals for public school bands. Blue Devils - Superior Carolina Crown - Superior Etc. etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barneveld Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I know, lets lets just give everyone a participation trophy and forget judging all together. After all, the pursuit of excellence is so cruel. If we forget about judging all together, then what happens to DCP discussions about recaps & slotting? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
