A .8 spread from Coats in GE caption alone, that's like the judges saying they aren't in the same league as far as effect. I'd say that the standards of evaluation in the activity are in a pretty sad shape when you can win brass, percussion, and guard, and STILL possibly not even medal. IMO, of course. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought a first-timer, dancer friend to Riverside last weekend, former member of a dance troupe called Diavolo. His observation was that from an artistic standpoint Devils had a kitchen sink approach and SCV was more restrained. Sounds like the judges equate "more" with better GE. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Design usually trumps performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I do find it amusing the people trying to explain the close spread by Bloo's bad run. Or that content scores apparently mean nothing. Lol. Not the biggest fan of SCV's show this year unfortunately but I'm really happy to see how competitive they are Me personally, I think SCV is going to fall short because of their design team's inability to design a GE packed show, and I think it's a race between Bloo and BD, but we'll see how things go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Huge win for Bloo last night over the on-coming Vanguard. Carried GE, visual, brass, music. Those are the captions that will carry them to another title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
