Thanks...perhaps that's where the drag a corps and drop them in whatever spot you want comes in. On one side all the corps are listed on the other empty spaces 1-12, click on your corps and drag them to the appropriate spot, click submit. Done.

For my first post, figured I would dive straight in. Everyone knows the topic of "Judging", "Slotting" etc is controversial, and will always be that way. Nothing we can do about that, at least not that I know of. So, my solution to this, and there are various forms it could take, one of which could be a revenue maker for DCI is to add a Fan Vote. It doesn't count towards medaling, but it would be a separate award given to the those corps. A few ways this could look: 1) As a form of revenue to DCI, on quater-finals for $x.xx you can create a log in/user ID, down load the judges sheet and submit your own top 12, winner, high drums, best GE, etc. There is a time cut off, DCI cumulates the scores and announces the results prior to the official results, or on FB and their website. 2) On DCI's website you drag and drop each corps to the placement you feel they need to be and click submit. The announcements are not made at finals, however, the results are tallied and presented as part of DCI's web/social media experience. Those are just two, and am sure a good discussion could produce more...the bottom line, in my opinion, if many of us feel we have no say, so thinking along the lines of fan participation (ala American Idol), I think this would be a really cool thing to see. With all social media we have now it could be put out there pretty quick and get all of us DCI fans/alums a say. Personally, I would love to see how the fan vote differed, if at all, from the judges. So, there it is. If this idea has been presented and discussed ad nauseam my apologies, again this is a first post for me. JKT90

Hi everyone, just registered after reading a while. I hope to have a positive contribution to the forum. I marched '90 Spirit of Atlanta (Gone with the Wind show) on the tenor line. In '91 I was with Star a little while but could not march the season due to finances :(, talk about a bad year to NOT march. Thanks everyone! JKT90
