bobchilds Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 It appears to me that drum judges seem to focus their attention on the snare line much of the time, while paying less attention to the tenors, basses, cymbals and front ensemble. Do you perceive this to be the case? Are drum judges supposed to sample the different subsections equally. Let me know if you think I'm off base.

cavie95 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 It seems that way sometimes on the dvd commentary of the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchyTenor Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 With all the complaints about drum judges running all over the field this year, I doubt they're snare-centric. Garry in Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcibrando Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) no but that may be the easiest place to pick up dirt or differences in cleanliness between corps A and B most judges stand in front of the snares because if it usually the middle of the battery on the field Edited August 13, 2013 by dcibrando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritVet Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Jeff Prosperie's tape for the Cadets at Finals this year is floating around the internet. Definitely not snare focused. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspaDave Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Jeff's tape for SCV is also out there, and like the Cadets' it is not snare-centric. He actually has a lot of great comments on Vanguard's pit and bass drums and tenors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 no but that may be the easiest place to pick up dirt or differences in cleanliness between corps A and B most judges stand in front of the snares because if it usually the middle of the battery on the field this. Especially in this era of setting the battery up in boxes, diamonds, intermixing the voices etc, it's often the easiest place to be to see and hear a lot, and also safest visually. Do some judges get snare focused? Oh yeah, even in indoor ( won't name names). But by and large they get around and see, hear, sample and comment on all.

actucker Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I have had many more issues at the local level than at WGI or DCI. I've walked into critiques in local indoor competition where the judge couldn't tell me a single thing about my front ensemble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
