And Boston got a 10 in guard rep going on 6th to last this year. Makes no sense, but that's DCI judging for you. this is why I think judges should be able to use any hundredth number in their scoring, so it could be possible to see 9.90, 9.93, 9.94, 9.97, 9.99 if the corps are that evenly matched that the differences are so miniscule that a tenth of a point is just too much based on the level of parity between these groups nowadays 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard they purchased new old-style uniforms a few years ago, then went with themed uniforms since then. Makes sense to bring them out at Retreat and I'm thinking the MMs would love it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had time and access to my retreat photos, I could look at them to be certain, but I believe 2017 was the first year with the formal uniforms at retreat.

I believe 2016. It was the first time they introduced the current drum major uniform (which was used as the base for 16/17 field corps uniforms) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I’m just going to say... i saw people wiping out on those scooters. I saw on drumcorps Reddit that there were ER visits. You had to really watch out for them crossing the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's over twice as granular as the current every 5 hundredths, and when scores are divided by 2 it doesn't require an additional decimal place.

Mostly, the locals hate them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a Twitter page devoted to Chicago scooter hatred. 😂 i had to use my cat-like moves to avoid them last week.

There is an annual 48-Hour Film Project competition I will sometimes help with musical scoring. This year a team entered a film called "Birds" -- about the scourge of Bird scooters in Atlanta, more scooters than people. I think it made the top 5 by the judges and the audience loved it, though I suspect the indy filmmaking crowd would probably be pro-scooter.

They were all over in Atlanta, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
