  1. consider it done. he changed email accounts, so any old info you had may have changed
  2. those boxes are on every single judges sheet for every single caption.
  3. and that does happen in many instances. if you follow the recaps closely, you will see corps numbers in the sub captions go up and down all the time.
  4. it's ok Scott, same here. we close on our house on the 30th, so my beer buying days will slow down until about $100k is off the loan :P
  5. btw Roger, you may want to send your info to corpsreps....he's lacking a lot Allard has
  6. from corpsreps.com: New Horizon from Nunda/Dansville, NY founded in 1978
  7. if you listen to the tapes, and the judge uses box 3 words but gives you box 2 scores, right there you can use the recaps....there are zillions of ways. but to sit here and watch you say dci judges slot because recaps are available online is assinine.
  8. actually, in 1979, all 12 made tv and it was a 4 hour broadcast. trust me, you need to go to a critique and see exactly how recaps are applied. what you're doing here is basically accusing the entire judging community of being recap hunters and basing their scores on what they saw online.
  9. Dan Delong...caption head at Westshore, Bucs, Bluecoats and now writing for Bush. he took us all in made us realize if we believed in the program, and what the staff said, the results would happen. He used movies like Visionquest, and later the Program, to show us examples. i know for Westshore and Bucs, and now Bush, the results speak for themselves. at Blue, by the time he left, the drumline was top 6, after being considered the weak link for years. he doesnt necessarily take the greatest players...he takes the hardest working players, and he gets them to believe in the program, it's goals and beliefs. The lesson he taught us I apply in regular life as well as in myteaching endeavors. one of my greatest moments last year came when I got to judge one of Dan's band programs. I could see the same lessons being applied, and my wrap up was directly to the kids...speaking to them as one of Dan's old kids. I was able to tell them what was coming, what to look for and what to think about. he still tells me it is one of the greatest tapes he has ever gotten.
  10. to each their own. I had a chance to see them early that year, and Lee's right...they sucked. by finals week, seeing the growth, the show really grew on me. In fact, in one area I feel it never gets it's due is it is the one show that really started the trend of drumlines moving a lot during the features...before that most arced up and rammed...here, SCV rammed and ran!
  11. great point. look at all the accusations made about Chuck King and favoritism........if you follow a pattern over the years, which you can see on the recaps, it shows that there is a basis for what has been said about him.
  12. i dont disagree that it should be based on the nights show...but that isnt the fault of recaps.
  13. it isn't all that silly when you think of it Mike. every kind of group has some kind of rule that excludes some type of person or implement. the NHL doesnt use footballs. MLB doesnt use hockey pucks and drum corps does not use woodwinds. it's the way of the world.
  14. except they only hand them out at the end. recaps can be very helpful...for instance, you can see when one judge may be scoring lower than others in his caption. the issue on early scoring isnt recaps, it's the fact that design gets so much weight, that early dirt is ignored because of the potential of the show. then later, dirt is picked apart because of what the show is vs what it should be performance to design. too many 'names" get the benefit of the doubt due to design early in the year
