Unfortunately, I think it's also quite possible there will be no position changes. I'm not impressed by judging. Slotting seems to be a powerful force.

Talking across the board on last night's recaps and not limiting myself to one specific judge, most found the judges did leave an impression............................you know what I mean.

I don't disagree and that's why Monday night is extremely important they must "reslot" themselves and to do that you have to beat the judges over the head to make it obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why for the past decade have GH, Sully, Fatty, and sometimes Jeff Sacktig complained about the thin little maroon stripe on the cream pants of the West Point style uni (pants which the current Vocal ensemble group wear for their National Anthem outings) as a detriment to drill scores for bringing undue notice to the leg movement? But now we have a much larger, sparkly wider stripe on white cream and it's considered Godsent? {And Sacktig's new team also has pant stripes.] Edited July 24, 2017 by xandandl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Windish Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Other posters have been displaying the current season in "tiers." Seems as those different levels are showing consistency now, and will firm-up as we get closer . . . regardless of anyone's audience-perceived performance level. Placement moves will probably be limited one spot in either direction. I don't see any corps going on a tear upward.

And- an insult to the MMs who work so hard, to basically take away from them the possibility that they could catch fire and jump several places. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but Boston is still ahead score wise. In fact Phantom is closer scoring to Cadets then Cadets to Cavies. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are also not immune to being pleasantly surprised. Think back to what you learned in your freshman psychology class. Show a person something that was better than they expected, and the human reaction is actually more positive than if they evaluated it objectively from the start. The reverse is also true: disappoint them and watch out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
