Popular Post DDFIddle Posted August 5, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2012 Went to Allentown last night....Surf got far and away the biggest applause of the night. Even more with encore with the Bridgemen. DCI needs to include them in Big Loud Live this Thurs or they are missing a golde opportunity to get thousands of fans (and lots of potential drum corps members!) in the theaters. They rocked the stadium (too early in the evening, too, which is also too bad for everyone!) LOVE LOVE LOVE the Jersey Surf!!!!!!!!!! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasboot Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 This needs to happen! The most entertaining show of the year, IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUARDLING Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) PLEASE DCI put Jersey Surf on Thursday night. Perhaps we should all contact DCI about this idea. let us know how that works out....let me ask a question though if youre making a special allowence are you telling others in the general area of their placements thay arent entertaining?......couldnt be considered........but Surf is doing a great job, competition aside...they got noticed in a big way and thats hard to do........good luck Surf Edited August 5, 2012 by GUARDLING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyGranite Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Since the theater show is going to be the top 15 corps live, putting Jersey Surf's show live is pretty much impossible. But a recording of their performance after all the live shows could be done. That would be a great way to end the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BRASSO Posted August 5, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Went to Allentown last night....Surf got far and away the biggest applause of the night. I'm not sure which is funnier, the fun Jersey Surf winning with the Allentown audience, or Jersey Surf finishing 17th overall in " Musical General Effect ". I guess, I'll have to go with the latter being funnier than a barrel of monkeys. I mean we have to honestly admit to ourselves here now that there is a complete breakdown now between the thousands of audience goers around the country and the handful of DCI judges that judge DCI " Music General Effect ". There is simply no denying this anymore. We have all sorts of possible explanations for this, some specious, some perhaps valid, but the total disconnect is now unmistakable. The 1st step in any recovery to a problem is to admit the problem. And DCI Judging has a big, big problem right now with what to do with Jersey Surf in their " Music General Effect " caption on these new judging sheets. From the judging input, Jerset Surf would be well advised to completely scrap this type of show because clearly it does not register well at all with the DCI " Music General Effect " judges. Jersey Surf is pretty much at the bottom of " Music General Efect " in DCI this year. Somethings got to give. Either Jersey Surf needs to change their ways show wise, or DCI needs to put their DCI Judges thru some " Music Analysis" and take their newly created " Music General Effect " sheets, three sheets to the wind after this season. The chasm between DCI Judges and thousands of fans at DCI shows around the country can not be more larger regarding " Music General Effect " as it relates to Jersey Surf. One thing is clear: SOMEBODY is out of touch here. Either its the tens of thousands of DCI show goers in audiences from around the country or its the 6 or so judges in DCI that currently judge the " Music General Effect " caption.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Jersey Surf!!!!!!!!!! are you saying that if Surf is shown in the theater, more people will come watch? I doubt that is true... the people who want to watch will already be there. Joe Bozo from the street is not going to go "omg, Jersey Surf! I need to buy a ticket!" that said, Surf is awesome this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peel Paint Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 They could show it delayed during the intermission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFAN Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I am sure BD will give up their spot for Surf, after all BD sets the bar for enertainment. The new sheets are a joke since they did not resolve the problem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
