I have marched shows that had some bizarre act of God things happen... Judges don't hold back point value for that stuff. They are looking at what the performers are doing with the work that they have been given and the design of the program. A guard that hits every mark in their work on a dry night and then drops half of their equipment in the wind and rain will get the same score for each performance, I promise you. This point spread and change makes good sense. Bloo drove in from Lynn last night and had a basic rehearsal today with no major adjustments... That minimal increase is to be expected. Likewise they are 1 show removed from their last meeting with Boston (meaning that they have been scored 1 extra show, in Lynn). Their increase happened last night, not this night. Yeah... scoring seems to be primarily based on reputation. It’s interesting that scores do t seem to drop very often. These are not robots out there marching around. It seems kind of rigged in a way. That kind of sucks. posted from the DrumScorps app

Bluecoats are good, but the speakers are way too loud! I swear the judges give extra points for overpowered speakers. posted from the DrumScorps app

In all honesty, it depends on if your favorite corps wins or not. :) Mike No, I’m not looking at it from that perspective. If you look at the scores, they are almost always in the order of performance. That just seems too convenient. I’d think there would be more variation since the performers are not robots. Just seems fishy to me. Every corps has good and bad nights, but you’d never know it from the scoring. posted from the DrumScorps app

Is it just me, or does it seem like the judging is so subjective that corps are scored more on “reputation” than anything else? posted from the DrumScorps app

I just noticed that this show isn’t even showing up on the DCI page for scores. Weird. posted from the DrumScorps app
