You’re close to speaking for the audience.( a DCP mortal sin!). Anyway the audience response to Crown so far seems to have been very positive. So your premise may be flawed.

Also, I think the activity has changed a ton since then. Namely, Bluecoats. And SCV has taken an entirely new direction. Technical execution is still hugely important, but if you don’t have a show, it’s becoming really hard to win a medal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you’re saying, but fact is that general effect has a lot to do with whether or not people get the show. Saying that the audience has no impact on scoring is naïve.

I would love for Dan Potter to do an "Ask the Audience" bit over what certain shows are about. I'd bet wed get some pretty interesting answers haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet wed get some pretty interesting answers haha That would be such a great idea. The shows almost need a "Program" to understand them. That's why I love Blue Devils "Inside BD 360", "Conversations" and Santa Clara's "From The Field" because they take the time to explain their show concepts in depth.
