BRASSO Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) why are you always trolling me? Yes - one judge swung it a lot tonight. A very inconsistent ranking by GE judge 2 compared with all the history of the season and even just this week. Quite inconsistent to EVERYONE ELSE - so it is what it is And I'd love it if you would stop with the snarky posts aimed at me. Yes," lets not all overreact tonite",.. just as you said above ( haha!)

Cappybara Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 You are absolutely wrong. I have never called foul - I asked a question. If you don't know the answer keep your mistaken facts out of it! I'm sorry if I misunderstood your post. However, reread your post. It seems to imply what I said in my post. It just came off that way.

N.E. Brigand Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I don't think they'll stay out of the top at all. They've pretty much got this DCI judging era figured out, especially now that the stuff they tried (and failed) to do in 2005 is now pretty much accepted. They don't give their kids fast moving drill very often, and they pump up "demand" by utilizing incredibly exposed sections with minimal visual stress. The days are gone when it comes to relying on velocity and drive. Instead they just perfect more manageable sections of music. As a result the kids are never gassed at any point in the show. They have a stranglehold on talent and don't even have to worry about recruiting very much since their own success drives the most well-off kids to audition for them. Their colorguard has a history that builds recruitment, and their constant reliance on objects to add visual depth in a show is obviously working well with the judges. (despite only using white as a prop palate year after year). Their staff is rock solid and has minimal change year after year. They have a farm system of 2 more corps in the wings. Couple this with the fact that no other corps is truly trying anything new to change the game, BD really should be winning every year. It's kind of insane to me that Cadets and Crown were able to take them out the past few years. Cavaliers owned the early 00's until corps caught up and did the "complete package" better than them. We had a glitch in the system with Phantom Regiment riding into 1st place exclusively on GE and Music talent, and now we're living in the "least stressful perfect show" age. Since the corps set the guidelines for the judges, doesn't that mean that a majority of them likes the kind of show that BD wins with?

Thank you - I still am wondering if there is a committee or person that reviews judges scoring. Jay Kennedy has been around a long time - don't know Kemp; maybe Kemp's had the less accurate score?; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day our instructors would just rip up the sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Kennedy has been around a long time - don't know Kemp; maybe Kemp's had the less accurate score?; I think I've seen Kemp judge last year too but yeah I'm pretty sure Kennedy's been around for a while. I would assume DCI has some sort of system in place so that they can decide the best judges for large venues such as regionals and finals.

I re-read my post - I referred to them as two competent judges - I don't know them to be anything but that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennedy wrote many of Boston's shows (lots of original scores). I know originally he was a drummer that used to do a lot of studio work taping jingles.
