BRASSO Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) For some proper historical perspective, it is a recent DCI phenomenon that allows DCI shows of today to be judged without a Brass Judge, or a Percussion Judge, or a Guard Judge, or any combination therof. In the Pre DCI years, and for the first few decades of DCI, it would have been unthinkable to not have a Brass Judge, Percussion Judge, Color Guard judge in a judged show. It would be considered unfair to all... including the youthful competitors out there on the field of competition. BUT.... things change, and with that, attritudes change as well to what should be acceptable, and what should not. Most people now would appear to think... in an economy move... that its appropriate now to judge shows with halfazz sized panels with no Brass/ Drums/ Guards judges. So we've accepted this recent phenomenon without batting an eye, and so basically, thats that, and it is what it is.

Tobias Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 You can certainly choose to look at it this way , although MMs were always doing what adults ( designers ) have told them what to do. Just as in any performance activity for the most part. i have taught for many years and there are very few , if any IMO in the activity that look at their members as pawns but do feel privileged as staff to share expertise and knowledge to achieve a level they may not have dreamed of. All perspective I suppose.Poor choice of words and certainly the MMs are respected by the staffs and certainly audience, Brassi posted more eloquently than I did that it really is the talent of the design teams that are competing presented through the hard work and talent f the MMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a team sport and only works as a team . Which includes it's staff...I do agree that full panels of judges are needed and should be in place. it's only fair, but that's another topic I think.OK I'm off the soap box...lol Edited January 30, 2016 by GUARDLING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
