 Yep the most subjective  area in the judging what a shame 

I don't think there's any way to solve that problem, short of having every corps play the same design. Otherwise you're left with the equivalent of actors reading from the phone book: it will demonstrate technical ability but bore the audience to tears.

Wish groups were scored more for actual performance captions and not artistry and design.

I wish Corps played interesting music.

Actually there's a super easy way to solve that problem. Make GE way less a part of the overall score.

Which year in DCI history do you believe had the "most interesting music" played by corps?

 It's very simple to solve the problem as a fellow DCP member put it perfectly

   The problem is you're asking the activity to do what they don't want to because they are fine with the  scoring. it's obvious they want focus on design so they can promote themselves and make betters careers for themselves  in the marching music activity

I don't think it's that simple or obvious.

Here's one complaint a number of people have made about Carolina Crown's show this year: it's just a bunch of notes.

If performance is overemphasized, you end up with more shows like that.

Maybe you love "Beast" and that's exactly what you want! But I suspect there would be just as many people complaining then as now--just a different set of people.

Still, it might be worth trying.

Actors reading the phone book.

Pioneer is a lower tier open class corps masquerading as a world class corps. 

You have nothing backing up what you say besides your opinion.

Or an all Lionel Richie show.
