Adjudicating

[ashyUechi]

GE Visual.

But that's not marching technique. Visual GE is the design side of the visual score. On these template there is no where for marching technique to be judged.

That's "rock, paper, scissors"

Actually, "rock, scissors, stones" would have a LOT more ties.

Also, having all judges in the box is a horrible, horrible idea.

GE-Visual=20

GE-Music=20

Brass Ensemble=20

Percussion Ensemble=20

Color Guard Ensemble=20

No subcaptions within each adjudication category; just a flat out single number to rank and rate.

Drum corps performances consist of two elements; visual and musical. Three components (brass, percussion, color guard) contribute to these two elements.

Five adjudicators; in the box.

Bill, you're a genius! Nearly four decades of debate among thousands, and you've figured it out. I'm totally with you!

Sounds kinda Tea Party-like. Less government (judges) must be good. I don'tlike it. I also bet that you just forgot about Visual Ensemble or left them out because 100 doesn't divide by 6 nice and neat. Smaller panels just give more weight to each individual judge. I like the current system of checks and balances.

DCI is already into the " Tea Party- Less Government ( judges ) " ( your words ) as they have lowered the number of judges for early season shows where once they had full panels for these shows. You may not " like it " but it is the new reality now in an activity that has had to make changes as a result of the changed financial environment in which it now finds itself.

This idea is bad. The level of excellence required to reach the box is significantly less than that which must be put forth under careful scrutiny. The inevitable result is a loss of fundamental technique in an effort to create and clean to the box rather than on the field level as well.

Adjudication directions on each of the 5 caption sheets:

Assign one whole number between (and inclusive of) the numbers of one (1) and twenty (20) evaluating the level of the performance with being entertaining and/or engaging and being performed with a certain level of expertise.

Meh, I don't like the idea of one guy having 1/5 total influence over a competition's outcome, especially not in DCI.

There actually is one administrative position in place within DCI and DCA events that already has total 100% potential control of any outcome from a technical violation scenario; Timing and Penalties. That oversight position would stay intact.

5 captions, 5 adjudicators; in the box.

I guess it is appropriate that I see this political message on November 2nd, but isn't a political post against DCPs posting guidlines?

Silly. Outdated. No.
