Cadet Guardy

Yea.. still going with a judging sh|t show

What a complete judging panel sh|t show. If you’ve looked at the recap, it’s all over the board with way too many perf over rep. Rickart being the only sensible one. I’m honestly embarrassed for some of these judges who have no problem attaching their name, and reputation, to their publicly opinionated score. I no longer have faith in judging qualifications. Naivety or ego?

Ouch, really? Bringing his daughter into this? Not cool, nor necessary - why would it matter to anyone? Her participation in the activity has nothing to do with this. She has nothing to do with this.

I expect with tomorrow’s lineup, and a more appropriate comparison, scores will show a better spread over BS. If the closer gets cleaner to demonstrate the true demand it’s welcome back to the top 6, Cadets!

I am proud of this performance, mostly pertaining to the ending that had me greatly concerned - obviously it’s still dirty af. I praise how well the guard has progressed from prior years and although weapons are a bit of a mess, I do however commend the staff on not watering the book down to compete in content. First time seeing a high cam view and although I’ve ripped the visual and design team’s a$$ lately, I was pleasantly surprised how well they use the field and how decent the drill is - I will not change my mind about some section staff replacements that are poached bringing talent that follows them. As an alumni, I’m feeling better and if they can become much cleaner, 💯 feel they will land in 6th.

🙄 pretty sure GE is more of a concern right now - Blue Stars are much more visually impactful. Btw - the guard hasn’t been this good in 3 years.

I was hoping for changes to the closer in order to compete at a higher level as it was very stagnant - this is good news. The problem I have with this show is within the GE category - it simply doesn't and cannot compare, nor compete, with the top of the pack. As an alumni, it's worth mentioning that the guard has made SIGNIFICANT improvements vs. past years and that makes me very proud. ! I am however still missing the wow factor from this show - what will it take?

I couldn’t agree more - this coming from an alumni. There are few risks taken and I’m beyond disappointed almost every single year. Sadly, it’s time for a mostly fresh staff change - if you continue to do the same thing, we’ll…
