Cadets really got the benefit of the doubt. Anyone else with that much undefined foot placement and body motions along with really bouncy back up.....that group would be much lower on VA And field vis!

She does like to call a show though.

Has Marie in the last 3 decades ever not favored Cadets ? Honest question

A couple of guys wanted to call the show tonight

Also which corps was tuning tenors at THE TUNNEL during Crown's ballad. STUPID and RUDE

Nice opening statement - Cadets now need to clean just about everything. Kind of thought that was rough. The question is was that "the" ending? Never thought I would say it but Cadets did not have the best feet out of all of the groups. There is still a week

They have the horses to stack on that chord!!

New opening was 24 hours old

In your opinion.

Man I have a box 2 skill set when typing on an iPhone.

True in some respects. But even after the explanations , the GE sheets now, after explanations, look like they are not being used the way they are written and explained by the sheet and box requirements. The "what" can change based not only on re writes but also because the "how" will clean up and then expose the foundation of the what. Performers are essentially to engage and communicate to the audience. All of the performers must to satisfy box 5. GE sheets were changed to be handled in that manner. The adjudicators have to use them with box descriptors. Some of those descriptors are not up to opinion. Are players portraying bring space, tilting, on a movie set........for example through out the performance or are they just marching from dot to dot and posing or squatting like a sumo A DCI visual caption head once told me a deaf person should be able to describe a show to someone based on what the performers were consistently doing / style they were consistent maintaining............ As well as a blind guy would be able to describe a theme of a show based on what he was hearing. That concept is now on the sheets in GE performance.

Props are like electronics with regards to weather decisions. If you have drill and work on the props and then the weather makes them usable for safety reasons (the design of the show actually requires them for drill and effect that adds to addressing a higher level of texturing than 2D drill thus adding to the increased responsibility and composition number.....) it's going to effect the GE when that layering is not used. (The thing that frustrates me with VA sheets is the fact that the Coats performers not only change the texture from a 2D perspective-drill and body appropriate to the TILT theme - but also a 3D level perspective. They physically change essentially the field surface adding another dimension to the performing surface. Check out high camera San Antonio. Several things I noticed observed last night- - coats show uses the wedges through the show normally and as a result the conditions - slippery surface on wedges and a bit on the field for foot work prep to get on the field...... It rightfully should have been reflected in the sheets - the on eras was Lso true - weather did not effect the cadets drill at all. There is not a spot in their show where the entire corps at some point was on the stage. The drill does not take any great leaps this year with regards to velocity of footwork - the weather could not effect their show or others for that manner - their cleanliness is great and entertaining but with the GE sheets this year I feel it will max soon. Especially because their stage does not move and a tiny amount of kids are using that stage effectively. The narrator is fine but even his drill visual responsibility should be viewed and not ignored (that will be a cut and past response - I know) I say that because years ago in USBANDS GH said the same thing to a band at one of their shows when the announcer kept announcing from the same area....(from a smaller stage) So....... Crown drill did and does not really on props to work. Their different texturing is similar to Cadets - static non moving props. Always located in the same area. - BK sneaking up..... - maybe BD number was correct ?!? Because the weather did not expose the simplicity or complexity of shows. Simplicity if the weather did not hurt a drill. Complexity because a show could not be performed because of the weather. And after all of that...IMO...the audience was still "involved" more in the TILT than any other show - so the GE is still supposed to credit that - that is one reason why GE#1 is toouch of a spread. Almost like anted to call the caption kind of spread. George oliviero still judging ?

My thoughts - that's the ticket

Ha!

After tonight - you have to say - Cadets out battle for first as well. Same point spread Playing Devil's advocate - pun intended - ha!!

I still do not understand the new GE sheets I guess

One thing is for sure - coats have not peaked yet

Regarding Coats ending - does anyone think that only the current top two corps have a corner market on changing/adding an ending - especially with the current 2014 Blooooo staff in place?? Me either

Tie - cadets and blooo

That is an odd statement. Kids are working hard in each group.

Going to be an interesting season

Thanks
