Flo is streaming the whole show, just not the talking heads in-between corps, just like last year.

Just because you can hear them doesn't mean they were warming up in the wrong spot. You can always hear warmups during the soft portions of shows at Allentown.

Or Maybe the most recent score? Either way it looks like Mandarins will be performing in the 5 slot.

Atlanta/Night beat is supposed to be averaged first. Then you take that number, and plug it in with the other two numbers. So 3 numbers are being averaged for the prelims

I blame Flo

MC was good for me, Academy at the end got choppy, it's been fine since intermission *knock on wood*

This show also looks like it's 1 step away from being the "Field of Dreams", looks like it's right in the middle of a farm! Maybe internet issues at the school?

There's a question mark on the screen if you're in your browser that lets you submit something quickly.

Brad Bell. Does a lot of WGI too

Using wayback machine, you can see that it used to be an anonymous form that was submitted from Dec 2022, until March 24th. The next time an archive was taken on June 4th of this year, the new system was in place.

I just went onto their website and their whistleblower submission page indeed takes you to a third party site. Whistleblower policy on their website Third party site that the "submit report" button takes you to.

Why are these numbers so low?

The fact that people are debating different interpretations that are all totally plausible is why it's such a great show.

Flo has done speaker mics since the beginning. You can see them on the videos, it always looks real funny to me.

Phantom mics their tubas but doesn't use field mics or individual mics on the rest of the horn line. JD Shaw did the same thing at SCV. If it sounds synthetic outside of the Tubas...that's just how they sound...

That's a great video. My favorite part is all the microphones on the front sideline to capture all the soloists so you can hear them really well 😄 https://imgur.com/YP2Kj30

Sample size. SA had DOUBLE panels for GE AND MA captions. They were unanimous, as were the other 5 judges all had PC up in BOTH subcaptions. 11 judges, all unanimous. Plus, you can be sure that DCI is putting its "best" judges on a regional vs a small show on a Monday.

Look at this entire thread during the show. Pretty much everyone said that every performance was not as good as SA...and while yes that might be judged over the internet, but they were comparing it to a show they ALSO watched over the internet... I have no rooting interest, just having been a part of the activity for a long time, these numbers/movement are WAY outside the "this corps played better/worse than two days ago". Here is the official DCI Judge philosophy on what spreads mean in a caption: Overall total score spreads of 1, 2 or 3.5 tenths: The units are essentially equal except for minor issues; the units might have differing strengths in the two sub-captions, leading to a narrow spread; there could be reversal from night to night, depending on performances and possible changes. Overall total score spreads of 4, 5 or 6.5 tenths: The units have identifiable, objective narrow differences and varied nuances that make it clear that one unit is better than the other. The judge should always be prepared to identify the narrow differences between the units. Overall total score spreads of 7, 8 or 9.5 tenths: There are at least 1-2 more significant differences in the descriptive words or common questions that detail the sheet. These are easily identifiable and may include but not limited to overall state of completion, quality and completion of one section of the unit, large variations in performance achievement areas and other qualities. The judge should always be prepared to identify those more significant differences. Overall total score spread of ONE point or more: There are multiple significant differences between the units. Generally, anything .2 and lower is what we call "show of the night". Where tonight one group was ahead, but on another night with different levels of performance, the results could flip. In SA, PC bested Xmen in GE by the following: .35, 1.4(!), .5, .35 for an average spread of .625. That's at the top end of "clear that one unit is better than the other", and very close to "multiple significant differences". Last night Crossmen beat PC in GE by .1 and .5 for an average of .3. That is just under a full point delta in two days, one of which was a free day. The odds of that happening are extremely low.

Chaos and fluctuations are great! As long as they are representative of what's happening on the field from night to night. The scores last night don't read as a "show of the night" they read as "these people are not applying the sheets the same as the other judges", which is a problem. The swing in numbers/placements from Saturday to yesterday are way outside the "this group had a better run" range, that's the problem.

Pacific Crest lost ZERO sub captions to Crossmen on Saturday. ZERO. Tonight, they lost SEVEN sub captions to Bones...

Who added content on the free day?

For what it's worth, the scores were all way too high as well. Every single performance tonight was a marked step down from Saturday, yet everyone got a big ol bump.

I'm sorry, but these scores need to be taken with an entire container of salt. You just can't have stuff so WILDLY different from a show that had a double GE and double MA panels. Crossmen gain 2.35 points on PC with no rehearsal? Crown gains a point over Boston in one show? This is an anomaly show and should be treated as such.

Not to mention performing in 95º heat vs an air conditioned dome

Crown uses full ensemble mics and wireless mics on several individual players for ensemble miking purposes.
