Chief Guns Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 5 hours ago, Phantom1701 said: Just go and listen to any of JP's tapes. His musical knowledge and acumen is in a different stratosphere. He can pick out the 4th inner beat of measure 5 in a 12 measure passage. His ear is unreal. Anyway, total jealously of his skills aside (answering EXITMUSIC's question) the actual number a judge puts down is of course completely subjective. It's not like the judges remember exactly what they saw back in minute 3 of a 12 minute show, but it's an overall impression of a performance at the end. General effect is one of the most vague categories IMO since it doesn't look at just one thing. It's basically if the whole production "works" according to the requirements on the sheets. That has little, if nothing to do with what we as fans think of the "effectiveness" of a show. Most of the time we are just left to guess. I love listening to his tape of 2013 Cadets finals night. Prosperie is the man!!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueByYou2000 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) He is a great judge, but lets get real, he's no Doyle Gammill. Edited August 13, 2019 by BlueByYou2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been able to get anyone to succinctly explain what "General Effect" actually is, so I posit that no one actually knows. Oh, that is easy to define. It is the Effect that is General in nature..... You are very welcome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they have time to beef up the book (and even planned on it) and sometimes they just have to live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first description of Prosperie that I have seen articulated so well that I now have gained a better understanding of him as an adjudicator. I had wondered what makes him “the best”. Now I know and can assume this is the consensus of his fan club. he's one of the best in the business and has been for a long time. several of his tapes are on Youtube...go listen. captivating 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
