The answer being these folks are brighter than everyone else. That we should just return to the orchestra pit like back in the medieval days. Where the unwashed massed viewed the show and left chicken bones all over the place. I think I am going to munch on some chicken in LOS and leave the bones laying around so I don't forget my station at dci. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in your spare time you have to invent a time machine. I saw them live in 1979 at CYO Nationals held at Boston College. Cavies had slipped from finals in 1978 and wanted to prove they were back. It was the day of Key of G bugles, how loud can you get, real excitement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure where you’re seeing this “symmetry.” Percussion scores, as an example, have been all over the place this season. As has guard and brass! I don’t close enough attention to GE but I’m sure there’s plenty of variation there too. Take Crown as an example. They have been 1st in brass almost as many times as they have been 2nd or 3rd this season (I believe the count is 6 to 4 or something like that). On Sunday they had an ensemble tear and were placed 3rd in brass. Where’s the symmetry?! I think it would help you to listen to some judging tapes on YouTube — there are many out there — to get an idea of the types of things judges make comments on during the course of a performance. Some judges will have differences in opinion but for the most part judges recognize the same flaws and same brilliant design decisions that other judges do. They’ve been trained to do so!

You got it all wrong, they don’t want us here at all. Or at shows. Now play nice in the school circle or I’m sending you back to charm school. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I too left LOS when Relentless lost and didn't not stay for encore which broke my streak of staying till the last note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTNK Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 All I know is that judges have zero objectivity. Was teaching a band in 2009 and a judge—big time, multiple DCI finals judge—paid us a visit and basically said that Blue Devils were the best at everything and he would never score certain other corps well because he didn’t like how they did drill.

Was grabbing for my tin foil hat till my wife said she threw it out, again????? Don't get me going on Sounds of Silence being banned after all the corps who played it last year. Mandarins, Legends, Fusion Corp & Bayou City Blues I was freaking out over that before I seen the fun Legends would have with it. Oh by the way the hiss is gone that I posted earlier about? Thinking this through now it was probably not the Russians but Simon & Garfunkel goofing on us for banning their song why couldn't it have been Bridge Over Troubled Waters oh that would have been inappropriate this year as well, what's up with them guys? What about They Might Be Giants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
