I haven't seen BDB or SCVC this summer, and sadly will not be able to. But one thing I do know about BDB, SCVC and Tealsound is that they are much larger and much louder than other open class corps. Size isn't what makes a corps good, if anything I believe that it can be deceiving for a viewing audience. I do agree that there may be some judges that really don't do a good job... but definitely not all of them. However, if various judges keep the a spread consistent in different shows, then I think that they are doing something right. If the scores were all over the place from show to show then I would be concerned. All we can do is watch and wait and the outcome will be determined at finals.
