StuStu Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Is this Stu? Anyone seen him? Is this the wolf in sheep's clothing? This is "a" Stu, not sure if I'm "the" Stu. (Actually, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I'm not. I've never been "the" anything.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overhype Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Are there any clips.. anywhere... of retreats with corps playing off? Here's one from 1987, but it's pretty close up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNEC0J1885w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCImonkey Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Basically what Whitedawn said..... They've always done this....what's the big effin deal? Hey Whitedawn..... help me out, when did Cadets stop "posing"? You know what I'm talking about right? I remember for a few years they would strike a pose and then they would change positions.....then all of a sudden that went away. Why?

jmc5682 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Yes, and if they averaged the total scores for three nights like they do for captions.....well, that would have been interesting too. If they are going to average the score overall why have Finals at all? the point it to be the best on that night! I don't evn like that they average the caption scores and that was not done when I marched! IMHO it is dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Whitedawn..... help me out, when did Cadets stop "posing"? You know what I'm talking about right? I remember for a few years they would strike a pose and then they would change positions.....then all of a sudden that went away. Why? I think it stopped the first year I marched (1999). I'm not sure why it stopped though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes....either average the complete body of work over the 3 nights to 'equalize' the impact of the judging panels, or don't average anything, including captions.....never could understand why the latter made any sense.

Corps_Efan Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) It looked like the Crossmen tilted when Bluecoats score was announced. That was good sportsmanship and the epitome of COOL! I am now a Crossmen fan! Edited August 12, 2014 by Corps_Efan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowtown Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 They always do it, I really respect the way the Cadets conduct themselves at retreat But it was good to offer an explanation as some are unaware so better to clear it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
