theCHEZman Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) But njguy, that's my point. If it's a bad run, why do the scores go up except for some pre-show phonecalling? Rather than being homers, as I suspect you and I both are particularly with you knowing the head count at the breakfast table in Meriden this morning, I am looking at this critically without any rosy glass lenses. My point was that I went to the Jackson show and thought the Cadets were performing at a mid July level and performing one of their best shows ever IMHO. I also just watched the Quincy,Mass VOD and think they are amazing. Yes room for changes and improvement but amazing. Im not sure they were this good in 2011 at this point. My inside info was from FB. Edited July 1, 2013 by newjerseycorpguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normy diploome Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Having a hard time following your point. His clarifications and my explanation (below) crossed in cyberspace. I restate them. 1. He reacts to my mention of a revolving door of staffers by giving us the number of 33 staffers present at the H.S. where the Cadets are practicing today in a foggy, drizzly day. From this and other posts, I respond that he is too much a loyalist and invite him to look more critically. 2. To my question, if the performance is poor why do the numbers go up? I suspect some behind the scenes Hopkins-style politics. NJcorpsguy does not dispute this. 3. He does not dispute my contention that on certain shows Cadets are being overscored.

ashevillemurphy Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 The Cadets are the only "undefeated" corps so far this season in head to head competition ... they meet BD and CC on July 11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c mor Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 What do you think the scoring situation would be if say, Cavies were out west, with Crown and Cadets competing in the East? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhopper Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 What do you think the scoring situation would be if say, Cavies were out west, with Crown and Cadets competing in the East? Crown and Cadets would be close. Cavies would be scoring in the middle between Blue Devils and Pacific Crest with big gaps on either side. I think we'll find that Crown, Cadets, and BD will be very close and stay that way when the west coast tours come back east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 What do you think the scoring situation would be if say, Cavies were out west, with Crown and Cadets competing in the East? Depending on the panel Crown would be consistently 1.0-1.5 points ahead of Cadets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOODEVILS Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Depending on the panel Crown would be consistently 1.0-1.5 points ahead of Cadets. What are you basing this off of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
