Michael Boo Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 There is much truth in what you say here. However, the track record of DCI judges becoming competitively successful judges in World Class is almost non-existent over the past two decades. There is a major difference between dealing with theories and abstracts and dealing with young personalities still growing within a show design given by other adults. This year's switches from judging to instructors are people already well vetted and successful as instructors and directors of other marching musical competitors. Do you mean for the second "judges" to read "instructors"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drilltech1 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Do you mean for the second "judges" to read "instructors"? Yes. Thank you for catching that. I'll edit the original. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowtown Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 So what kind of sound can we expect from the Cavies brass? Their best horn lines did that symphonic blend thing that wasn’t to my tastes, I prefer something with a bit more punch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillwatcher Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 We've had cases of judges leaving judging to become instructors or creative consultants, and there are many cases of instructors leaving instructing to become judges. The experience gained from judging is beneficial to instructing and vice versa. People sometimes need to shake things up once in awhile. If and when these latest examples decide to go back to judging, (after the requisite time out from both), they will be even better judges for their latest instructional experience. I agree. Actually they should not allow people to judge for a long period of time with out going back and having involvement with a corps. There are people judging now some in postions overseeing judges who would not know or remember what to do if put in front of a guard, drill program or horn line. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Hill doing music. I believe it was Mitch Roger writing the drill. Allen Spaeth and Mark Hart involved on visual side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
