MikeBD Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I always thought I would never like a BD show more than 86 (my first finals trip) but this year is even more enjoyable for me. This BD show has it all and I love love love the music. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...what...are you saying the other corps need better staff to communicate their intent to the judges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rothe, who was on Percussion 2 that night, put BD in 1st with a 19.8 Jeff Prosperie, who was on Percussion 1, put them in 2nd with a 19.6 A difference of .2 between the two judges. Now, BD won by a margin of .575 Percussion 1 and 2 are averaged before being added to the score, so BD came away with a net 19.7 in percussion. That number is then HALVED (because all captions but GE are halved). Both Prosperie and Rothe agreed that Crown was 5th in percussion, and SCV was 4th. The margin between Rothe's 1st place and 3rd place scores was .4, but had an effective value of .1 (halved into the percussion score, then halved again into the music score). In order for Rothe to have thrown BD a .575 advantage, he would have had to have given them a score of 22. Which is, of course, impossible. BD didn't even win Music by much (.15). They had a larger margin in Visual (.4). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the intent is to score as high as possible, yes, and design shows with more thought put into how judges judge difficulty. Scott and his team are very intentional and deliberate in both.

They move a lot in this show, they may park and blow some more difficult passages but it is staged well. Both Bloo and BD have well designed shoes. BD is performing their show better. Feel it is more of a toss up GE wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what all the visual DCP experts have said over the years, it's not about the fall, its the recovery. Just like a CG member dropping a rifle, it's about the recovery. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
