cixelsyd Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 On 12/22/2017 at 11:58 AM, glory said: The trend I most want to see changed is the one where judges don't differentiate when the bulk of the brass line only plays half and whole notes on the move. Any remotely challenging passages are stationary. Cavies and SCV were among those benefitting from this largesse last summer. Of course, the amplified brass choir was another multiplier for SCV. How do we level this playing field? HH By including what you want among the criteria on the sheets. In this case, clarification would be required that "simultaneous demand" does not mean one section of the corps running while another section plays hard stuff - but rather, the same people doing demanding visual work and playing demanding music simultaneously.

Cadevilina Crown Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Bump. DCI's winter meetings are only 3 days away, which means we'll find out which proposals pass within the next week! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With even Florida expecting snow on Thursday and over 30 States enduring the deep freeze with icy roads and runways, this may be an interesting meeting to gather a quorum. The computer age of emails and skype has changed corps communication but I wonder if the lack of physical presence by some parties might be an influence on how certain proposals are discussed or tallied. DCI hasn't had to deal with this in awhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this too. Give the June 22, 2017 Bluecoats, who scored a 72.30 in their season opening performance, a time machine and have them compete under an assumed name (no one would recognize them anyway) in the Aug. 11, 2016 championship prelims, and are they really going to be outscored by Spartans, who got a 73.125 that day?

I guess we just need to throw out the scores altogether and just look at the spreads between the scores...scores are meaningless in your example for sure... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw people in the east typing statements about flying to Indy online, so I'm not expecting a massive amount of holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
