Or more precisely, a time for judges to get their "minds right" about the activity. Expanding creativity is a noble goal, but fans are buying tickets to be entertained, not enlightened. Despite hours of consideration, I cannot come up with a way to create a "Classic" division, where some corps can perform old school shows without being slaughtered by judges. My feelings on electronics, if a corps can perform their show as if electronics would not affect the total performance. Technical difficulty delays should be penalized (one point for each minute delay). My $0.02. Judges are guided by the criteria created by the corps. They don't just decide what and how to judge their various captions. There is a wide variety in the types of shows being produced, things to please every taste. Electronics should be fully integrated into the shows, as much as any element. My $0.02 😀 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, maybe not (I'll leave that argument for others), but there's no denying that comments online have gotten under the skin of corps officials from time to time.

Bad PR= sponsors pulling cash and schools not allowing housing...especially schools, which had little interest in online postings here or Reddit or anywhere else.

IIRC, Jeff Ream is one who makes that assertion. I have to wonder why DCI/corps people would pay any attention to DCP if they did not "give two flying ####s what people complain about online". want the answers i have been given every time i have asked why they read? " it's like going to Nascar and rooting for car crashes". " entertainment". and my personal favorite: ' well i like to read #### when I sit down to take a ####" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give you an easy question, with a yes/no answer. That way, you can have the last word. Here it is: Agree to disagree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
