Please look a topic up on DCP forums, as I'm not interested in having it again. All I'm going to say is please don't diss the hard work of the members at the Blue Devils just because you don't approve of the way the judging system works. The corps does nothing wrong, they are simply abiding by the rule book and guidelines given to them and do it better than anyone else. As shown by two judges putting them third in G.E. Totally the correct thing to do as per the sheets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but there is no way Bostons guard is 8th. That's just crazy ### stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerguy315 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 where are these extra decimals coming from? Crown guard 85.5 / 84, Cadets 87.5 / 86 some other captions too is this a change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmc5682 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) 2015 Devils was amazing and magical. I loved that show. Children Will Listen was beautiful. Their show was so well put together and cohesive. Crown did not have a great run Finals night. BD deserved that title and they will deserve this years title once they win it!

Sure, but how many got replaced six months ago and then judged the corps they were fired from? I don't know Michael, I am sure he is a capable judge, but I hope dci doesn't put him on finals night. Too much at stake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because the president interviewed him for a job and then hired someone else doesn't mean his investigation is tainted-- oh, wait, that's a different subject. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's certainly a lot of blind BD hate out there, but a lot of people (myself included) are justifiably criticizing their design team for designing to the sheets to chase rings instead of designing shows that are both scorable and accessible. I have nothing but the highest respect for the Blue Devils performers, they always excel at the highest level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
