I have a drum corps dream at least 5 times a year. Usually the same type of dream too. (i.e. forgot my drill, uni, etc.) Sometimes just a thrill of performance feeling about it.
oh how i miss it :(

But I am willing to let the corps run with this for a couple of years and see if anyone come ups with something good.
It's the experimentation with the medium that might be painful at times.
Just what I was thinking.
Once the newness wears off, we may hear some interesting stuff.

Another thing that DCI MUST do...publish the sheets online. Let the fans know what the rules are. Heck, even the NFL publishes its rule book. DCI must do the same. This will remove the "secrecy" that some people feel surround the process.
I asked about this in another thread and got no reply.
So, how could I see the sheets right now? Would I have to get hired on staff of a corps or train to be a judge? (both highly unlikely :P )
I like your judging system. It looks well balanced.

Not sure who will win, but anyone not picking BD, Cavs, or Cadets need to have a reality check.

OK, I'll say it...
Wouldn't the other option be, oh, I don't know, SLOTTING??
It bothers some of you that he would rank the 'coats drums lower than they had been scoring this season. It bothers me that some people don't think the 'coats can have a 5th place performance in drums one night and a 9th place performance the next night.
What if this scenario happens - say the Blooo drums finish first tonight (as they have shown they can do this year). Couldn't the Cadet borg then start screaming - "We were on top in drums almost all year, and the Bluecoats were way back in the pack. That judge is a *^$!!"
I'm almost, I don't know, encouraged when a judges numbers are way off the average. Seems to me they are calling it like they see it.
You make an excellent point.
However, a judges numbers can also be off average when that judge isn't using the criteria the way it was intended.
Does anyone know where or even if the judges sheets can be seen by the average fan? Not one from last night, just an unused sheet. I know the criteria for the point ranges are very detailed and specific and I would love to play "desk chair" judge armed with more information.

I can only imagine what Bob Dubinski would be doing right now if he was still teaching 'Coats line!!!!

Debbie Torchia knows the business. She's the judge on the 2003 DVD Audio. She's VERY VERY much committed to the sheets. And a nice lady, too.
Yes, I know she tends to be pro-BD/Cadets, but in that regard, that's not always bad.
the suff I saw hinted at her disliking Scouts and Crown. Maybe sour grapes on the part of those who didn't like her scores?
Aww heck, we all disagree with a judge now and then... don't we :P

still grubling over Judges lack of keeping the spread.....*(#$*#&$ so with that score Blue and Madison will be close.....BD locked in 3rd and images top 3 spreads might shift by .5 max
From the complaints I've been reading around here about yesterdays guard judge (she allegedly lacks objectivity about some corps), tonight's spread may actually be more acurate.

anytime you need a microphone to explain the show instead of the music making you feel the show..well....call me a purist, but I just can't stand it...

THIS is at the heart of my dislike of narration. Thanks skewers

can't wait to see that recap :sshh:

I'll bet the gap between these guys and Blue will be the biggest of the night.
there may even be room to put Scouts' score in that gap ^0^
