A couple weeks before Indy, every Corps Director receives a listing of all available judges. The weekend assignments will only come from this list. Each Corps Director is given an opportunity to object to any name on that list. The weekend panel is then made up by people with the least amount of objections. Are objections by certain Corps Directors given more relevance than objections by some other Corps Directors? I believe, yes. I just think it's amazing that everyone is guessing at how it works. Why is the process such a secret from the fans? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am engaging with another poster and their responses are straight forward, direct, and precise, I tend to let them have the last post. If, however, they evade, dance, respond in vague terms, get snarky, deflect, then I will keep pressing, and pressing and will, in those situations, try to have the last post.

Whatever method is being used to choose the Indy panel, apparently, is OK with the decision-makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I propose DCP moderators pick a DCP topic of current interest, lay down the rules, and let STU and BRASSO have a debate. I want BRASSO in the red trunks please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through no fault of her own, those 2 solos of hers became an unmitigated disaster for Carolina Crown at Saturday's Finals. The electronics went so bad, that her voice was altered in a ghastly manner, and at other times, the voice was interrupted in its delivery. Still in all, surprisingly CC had no real slippage in scores. I suppose the lesson here is that if you are a show designer and must decide between a singer singing a solo, or a brass soloist playing the solo, go with the singer. Its hard to imagine that if a brass soloist mangled the music solos and played out of tune, the Corps would not suffer as the singer's malfunctions did not on the score sheets for Crown on Saturday Nite. OT, but the good news is that almost certainly will not be the performance on the DVD's / CD's. Wish they'd had that option back in '89.
