I don't know anything about him, but he's judged brass 6 times this year (and GE2 one time) most recently in Massilon. He didn't work as a visual judge this summer.

Which is really, really odd. He's not a brass person. He's a brass player (trumpet), but he's not "known" for any type of brass education experience or ensemble success, etc...

Oh well, I guess we'll see how this plays out : ) just saying I'd feel more comfortable with him in a visual caption.

World Championship Finals — Saturday, August 11

General Effect 1: Kyle Miller & Tim Ochran
General Effect 2: Caleb Rothe & Richard Saucedo
Visual Performance: Robert Solomon
Visual Analysis: Jim Sturgeon
Color Guard: Michael Turner 
Music Brass: Chester Phillips???
Music Analysis: Darrin Davis & Chris Romanowski
Field Percussion: Allan Kristensen
Chief Judge: John Phillips

 

Does anyone else find this a bit odd? We've got Albert Lo on Prelims night, Paul McGarr (eh? equally odd) on Semis, but Chester Phillips on FINALS night? Now, don't get me wrong here, Chester is a fine trumpet player, but he's a visual guy - drill writer. Yes. He's an music educator, but he & his wife are known to be visual designers / educators. 

Also, the GE panel has all the heavy hitters on Prelims night, and then scattered the rest throughout Semis & Finals. Just a very, very odd lineup. Great to see Darrin Davis join the mix.

Thoughts?  Maybe it caught me off guard not seeing Albert Lo on Finals night, but things seem off. And as it's been point out already, Jeff Prosperie is MIA too. 

if he got certified, DCi will use them

I think such secrecy would erode trust, which would devalue it to a greater extent.

yeah they'll just decide to hide recaps again

He had the top 3 in Massillon .2 apart. Brass is going to be really close for the top 4 groups this year regardless. It is noteworthy that SCV had a higher content than achievement score.

I'm not a big recaps person but even I thought that was a dumb idea.  There's nothing wrong with studying the numbers and having some fun with that.

everyone should realize - these dci homers stick together. They do not like any challenge to the authorITYI. 

they will let everyone know about certs and such . all the while they know it is skewed most of the time

Great to see Allan judging finals percussion again! Many a year I’ve enjoyed watching him weave through drill! SCV all three nights!
