jwillis35 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 ...at their home regional in front of a very biased crowd. See, both sides can play that game! So you're saying the judges play to the home-town crowd? Didn't work for Crown in Charlotte and it didn't work for Cadets in Allentown, so the fact that Cadets have cut the gap should be seen as a good sign, not a gift, because DCI judging is credible. Unless you're telling me it's not. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) contraman007, on 01 Aug 2015 - 11:02 PM, said: I think those suits torpedoed the Cadets GE There's no scoring evidence of that, and perhaps there's evidence that it is helping.A week ago in Atlanta, they wore the moroon and gold and were 3rd in GE and down by 0.65 from first in GE.This weekend in Allentown, they wore black and were 3rd in GE and down by 0.2 from first in GE. The marching was better, which is why they narrowed the gap. Had they not changed suits, they would have won GE by a half point.

jwillis35 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I don't know if this was mentioned, but did anyone else see that Boston Crusaders took 5th in brass on Saturday at Allentown. Troopers were 6th, and Madison was 7th. Wow. Kind of surprising...then again, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corpsband Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Weird. I absolutely adore that show musically. Visually, meh....but still. One of the best musical shows Cadets have ever done. Visual was not good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the crowd now get to fill out judges sheets? I was there yesterday and must've missed that part. #sadface 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cube Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Does the crowd now get to fill out judges sheets? I was there yesterday and must've missed that part. #sadface I don't know if they do this in a lot of places, but at Winston-Salemthere was a page of the program that let the crowd give scores. It didn't affect the actual scores, but it was fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regimentlvr Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I am sure I will get beat up for this, but I am not a fan of the Bluecoats show. It is amazing how strong they have become in the last couple of years but the whole kinetic energy thing just doesn't do it for me. I don't understand half of what they are doing, and can't tell whether they are playing or a recording is playing. Too much for me. They are very good, but not appealing to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
