That semis judge really set BD back putting them 4th whether or not they had a rough night, while BAC teetered at 1st and 2nd. Interesting recaps for championships but regardless, I’m happy for that drum corps. Very exciting for them as they grow into future champions. posted from the DrumScorps app This season was one of the most exciting in a while and the quality across the board was the best I've ever seen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to assume you never were a drum major because conducting is honestly one of the less important things they do. Sure that's their roll during a show and what most people see but what you do off the field is 10x harder than what you do on that podium during a show. Claire was my pick to win the award as well but I wouldn't have been surprised at all if Sam from Bluecoats won it either. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally pick the best conductor who wins this award. Congrats to her! Fair enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You assumed wrongly, but I don't see how they judge leadership if its a panel. Directors send feedback? Fly out on tour and observe? And Sam is a heck of a conductor IMO.

It was a well deserved award for her. And I agree, even down to the high school level, the job of drum major is 10-20% conducting and 80-90% everything else! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a young caption head that has a history of success where he teaches. This! It takes time to develop a top-tier program. Look at what happened for BAC — you grow it over time, you get a good mix of rookies and vets accustomed to the teaching style, and look! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAtenhut Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Way too many pages to go thru but has anyone talked about BD not winning any caption awards... when's the last time that happened? Congrats again to all the finalists, especially SCV for their championship and Mandarins for their 10th place finish for their first finals appearance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
