As with Frank and some of the others ---
If KIDSGROVE Scouts, came to Bridgeport and kicked everyone's ###................ then they should have one.
I have seen all of the other shows at least once this year and there is NO WAY, NO HOW that Kidsgrove Scout doesn't slam dunk the entire lot of them at Bridgeport.
What does that tell you - - that the DCA judging which mirrors USSBA............... is NOT fair, NOT accurate and does NOT reflect the actions of the corps on the field.
The concept that you start with a certain score and work your way through the season to a better point - - - is and has been crap. That a judge has to "see" a corps 2-3 times to get a "feel for the show" to be able to capture its merit - - if I could use stronger words without being deleted, I think you all know what they would be - - that whole idea is even MORE CRAP then the first.
So judges - - you messed up.
Crowd - you got it ABSOLUTELY right - - boo away. I have never seen a case where it was more deserved.
DCA - - I hope that our corps brethren Kidsgrove - - leaves knowing that the REST of us believe they were the best and decides that they WILL come back and entertain us.
What a disappointing end to a great night in Bridgeport.
