Me too.   The forecast tonight had a lower chance of disruption.

I used figure skating to explain drum corps scoring to a newbie who follows figure skating. The scores are a combo of content and achievement.  Also, people perform in the reverse order of their score in earlier rounds.   And, come on, the guys wear tights! Just like drum corps.  

But unlike Drum Corps, figure skating awards a specific number of points based on the degree of difficulty of jumps, spins, footwork and spirals.  You can lose or gain additional points based on how well each it is performed.  That's the technical part of the score .  Then there is the component score(artistic) which is where the “skating skills,” “transitions,” “performance,” “composition,” and “interpretation of music.” come into play.  Figure skating is less subjective than Drum Corps IMO.

Love the audio + visual in that hit before they’re all kneeling

Uh oh.

The sound recording is way out of balance.  The running water is at least as loud as when the entire horn line is playing FFF.

[Terri Schehr]

Play loud kid.
