Plan9 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Couple things to keep in mind other than no perc judge...perc score can effect the impact other dynamics of the music score. Having no Cadets and SCV competing for captions leaves imaginary holes....but CC's music GE is huge (although I think it would narrow if Cadets were in the mix). Everything else is neck and neck. In any case......congrats to a great Crown performance......it's definitely a toss up until finals! Edited July 31, 2013 by Plan9 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Not the first time though, they've been a half a point up already on BD in Music GE at a couple shows previous to this (including major regionals). It is exciting that they're rewarding the insanity that this show is GE-wise. Now if the brass judges would have the nads the percussion judges do and quit with the .1, .2 spreads........ call it like it should be. This is so correct. Not only should the brass judge be calling spreads the way the perc guys do, the guard judge should as well. IMO there's a *significant* gap in both content and achievement in the guard caption but there's no willingness to put the number down.

BRASSO Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 No percussion judge tonight. Crown can win this thing. They should get INT to kidnap the percussion judge on Finals night and bound and gag him and lock him in the Lucas Oil Stadium maintenance room for the rest of the show. CROWN !!...... YOU CAN DO THIS !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhopper Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Couple things to keep in mind other than no perc judge...perc score can effect the impact other dynamics of the music score. Possibly, but Crown has been pretty dominant in Music Analysis and Music GE, even when they've had their worst Percussion scores. In fact, that mismatch between the percussion score and MA score has been noted many times. So something about their percussion book is great for MA, but not so great at the close-up level. Still, with Cadets and SCV in the mix, it's true that Crown is going to have to really strive to stay far enough ahead everywhere else to make up for Percussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soccerguy315 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) How is ge scored? I feel like once the show is written there can't be much change in ge scores. I could never figure that caption out. sheets from my dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/104151822/DCI-World-Class-Judging-Sheets.pdf Edited July 31, 2013 by soccerguy315 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMcomguy Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 This is so correct. Not only should brass judge be calling spreads the way the perc guys do, the guard judge should as well. IMO there's a *significant* gap in both content and achievement in the guard caption but there's no willingness to put the number down. The willingness isn't there because nobody wants to be "that guy" just yet. It's uncomfortable for them, I'm sure, because we're witnessing things being accomplished on the field that frankly, have never been heard before. Especially when you have guys that have won however many umpteen brass titles with such influence over the boys club. Yeah, I said that. From what I've heard from some folks, many of the guys out there in critique *are* telling it like it is. But the number just isn't there. Judging one group who plays well at an FFF volume for much of the program, vs. another that plays with so much more contrast and overall musicality, it has to be tough. Because for the latter group, it is incredibly easy for judges to nitpick at issues from so many exposed parts... which is unfortunate. It's basically judging at a different standard. That is why we aren't seeing the spreads becoming wider. Something eventually needs to be defined on the sheets when you have such a huge difference in styles. Not sure how you can do that, but anyone with an ear knows what is being accomplished. It's just not conducive to the sheets and rubrics as they stand in their current form.

barigirl78 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The Crossmen had a nice rebound in Visual Proficiency and Visual Analysis since their "down" performance in those categories in Atlanta. Good to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoContraAlum Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 While I am stoked that Crown pulled this one out tonight, what about the fact that, in two captions, their achievement scores beat their comp/content scores? In Vis Analysis, they got a 94 in comp and a 96 in ach, while in Music analysis they got a 94 content and 95 ach. MA was doubled to the drum score, so there's that as well. On the flipside, BD scored higher on both comp/cont scores, but lower on achievement. Food for thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
