griego4m Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Really hoping Bones can creep back up! such an amazing show and staff! Edited June 29, 2011 by griego4m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudTXmom Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 My Bones rookie sent me a text regarding the contest tonight. Evidently they have made some changes to the show. Tonight was the first time they put it on the field. Also, after the show, they walked across the street for ice cream! (Another Bones tradition.... ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerguy315 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 guard had a rough show (via facebook) this is the stadium with the baseball field so the stands are not parallel to the field (i think). weird experience performing there. ice cream is quality though. show is coming along well from the sounds of things.

proudTXmom Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Another scoring question... I've been reading the forums. (Stalking might be a better word! LOL!) There have been multiple reports of different corps having trouble with members nearly falling, falling and multiple member pile-ups. How do these affect the scores? I would think they would cause the scores to drop but I haven't seen evidence of that. Also, does everyone go into the championships with a blank score sheet or do their past scores get included? Once again, I appreciate all the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, I appreciate all the help! To put it honestly: We don't know haha Cadets had a snare fall back in 09 and their percussion seemed shaky that night so one could assume their score dropped because of that. But in the past, falling during drill hasn't affected scores too much. Cadets had a bunch of falling marchers in their 1995 show and still placed 2nd at Finals. As for championship scoring, I believe the seeding/order of performance is determined by your previous scores in the season somehow... but they don't really "add up previous scores" to determine your championships score. They judge your show as it is at championships. Some people believe "Slotting" takes effect during the season, but that's just conspiracy.

OICMR corps Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'll second the "we don't know." I've been told that the moment of the fall does not count against them but if it takes "too long" (whatever that is) to recover either musically or visually the score will be effected.

bluecoats88 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 could someone explain slotting to me? Its a new term for me... slotting would suggest that corps placements are predetermined prior to the show and that outcome has nothing to do with performance/design. During the season you start to see corps fall into an order of finish and it stays pretty consistent during the season. People mistakenly think this is due to some sort of conspiracy by the judges to keep the corps in this order as opposed to the shows & performances working themselves into this order which is more the case.

arno0940 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Okay - enough about the music - how's the visual package? We all know that to move up the competitive ladder, you need top design and execution in both captions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
