I’m not convinced anyone can hear a tenth or two differences between these percussion ensembles, especially if you’re not even on the field. Tuning, acoustics and environmental demand, yet one has the ability to distinguish between lines. Yeah right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a few lines closely bunched at the top and four or five lines just outside that top bunch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah right How would an ordinal system solve that alleged problem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second place is second place. Doesn’t matter if it’s by .05 or 5.05. Scores smores Edited June 7, 2018 by Jim Schehr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm how is that a silly question? If you're going to assert there's a flaw with current judging and that a new system would be more effective, the new system better have a way to solve the issues with the previous format.

Brass34 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I thought last year's percussion issues had more to do with the staging and position on the field? Poor design affected music scores. That's how a caption, while individually very talented, finishes 8th Edited June 7, 2018 by Brass34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
