flammaster Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It should be live today right? This is why I paid for FN. Otherwise I could have just paid for the one day at the theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Why stop there? Why not have High Brass Performance, Low Brass Performance, Battery Performance, Pit, Flag, Weapons, Feet, Upper Body Posture, High Brass Music GE, Low Brass Music GE, Battery Music GE, Pit Music GE, a plethora of seven Visual Performance and seven Visual GE, along with 'three judges per caption' so that you can throw out the high/low to minimize bias? Yeah, I am all for expanding judging panel spending even more money which DCI does not have. Because two gets the job done, where one doesn't. The field judge continues to judge everything he does now, which is individuals and small groups. The box judge actually listens to the whole LINE and judges the brass ENSEMBLE. Right now, we don't have that...at all. We have a music ensemble judge, but he's got different responsibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 The pit is a whole section and needs to be judged by people who know mallet instruments not a snare drummer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Mom Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I don't speak from a points or judging perspective. I speak as a mom wearing a corps show shirt...watching her kid and other kids lay it all down on the field and I was THRILLED beyond description to watch group after group out there giving it everything they had. I am also a teacher and it just hits me broadside in the heart to see these kids...all of them... working together as one unit and nailing it. I gave many standing ovations but I screamed as loud as I could for Oregon Crusaders...have to support my son in the hornline and OC's run for the title. I'm hoarse for finals (but I'll be bringin' it somehow...) After SCVC finished I saw a mom crying in the stands and she was remarking to someone else about how amazing the corps was (and I agree... Vanguard Cadets BROUGHT it last night). I didn't have a reaction to her crying except..."ahh how sweet"... and then I exited the stands to go sit out front and wait for scores... this just after OC's brass pinned my face back to I-94. As I sat in the grass, it came over me.... and I wept. I WEPT! My daughter was at the OC souvie table and as I waited for her, the tears kept flowing. She joined me on the grass and asked me if I was ok :) Other thoughts: I really liked 7th Regiments show a lot. I thought they were very clean and classy. Music City is a whole lotta fun and love the brass! SCVC has a magical show this year. Well done. Love the water theme of BDB and the different ways the corps portrays it. BDB you always scare the hell out of me. You are so darn good. Absolutely love the sinking of the Edmond Fitzgerald... gave me chills. Way to go Legends! As a teacher I have to congratulate ALL kids in ALL corps and say that you make our future bright. YES! All. Those. Kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCVCRNMOM Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Love you Open Class! What a fantastic bunch of corps! I wish I could be there to watch all of you. Must give a special shout out to my daughter's corps, GO SANTA CLARA VANGUARD CADETS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It should be live today right? This is why I paid for FN. Otherwise I could have just paid for the one day at the theater. Did you verify that it's on FN tonight? I can't find it in the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC Euph Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 They are not live tonight. However it will be "on demand" as DCI actually replied to my complaint on their facebook page that it is not live. However you can see them live on thursday viz the FN on world class prelims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to see OC again. Looks like I'll do that on Thursday! Way to go OC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
