Peel Paint Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 The point Hop was trying to make in the purpose of his proposal was that:A) The field percussion judge samples what's in front of him and listens for specifics B) The Box percussion judge should be sampling the ENTIRE percussion ensemble and listening for specifics but is often listening for minutia and subsegments of the ensemble and not adjudicating the big picture C) If the Ensemble Music judges were doing their jobs they would cover a greater portion of percussion and not just brass ... in which case they wouldn't need the second percussion judge. OK, thank you, that is very helpful. Now I see what GH was getting at in seeking improvement in consistency of judging. Unfortunately, George is not a model of clarity himself when it comes to writing these things and they come across as not well thought through. Offer your services to YEA! as a translator, like at the UN, or like Barbara Billingsley in Airplane!: "Yes, I speak Hopkins." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i heard from someone Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 does anyone else read this as Hopkins calling out the effect judges? Now, the issue is actually the inconsistent job being done by ensemble music judges, who are, supposed tobe evaluating the full ensemble ballsy i must say...and i know there was an investigation into the judges during last season over comments and scores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouthpiece1234 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 There's one brass guy, two percussion guys, and two ensemble music judges. So there's only ONE for brass making it... not so balanced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnaheimAlumni Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Use two drum judges and go back to a deduct system for mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.R. Baritone Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 If the GE perc judge is not doing his job, fire him. It's simple as that. If you weren't doing your job at work, the same thing would happen to you. Put a few heads on the chopping block and see what happens. Hold these people accountable for pete's sake! I agree that you should keep 2 judges. One person can't do it all. Taking away the on-field judge would simply be a way to hide bad drumming. Like someone siad before, what sounds emaculate in the stands could sound like pure crap on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the proposal is about eliminating the second percussion performance judge, not the GE judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
