college-phan Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Regiment Auditions announced! I think doing a preliminary video audition round is really going to drive up the turnout. Good for them! https://regiment.org/programs/drum-corps/audition/?mc_cid=d73b143a1a&mc_eid=c939776ef4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2021 showed DCI and the competing corps staffs maybe it’s time to rethink the sheets. You know, as I think about it, Boston marched quite a bit in 2021 too, without a ton of props other than the disastrously distracting video board that I hope are not repeated by anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) 2021 wasn't a competitive season and by definition had zero to do with the sheets. Lots of people are choosing not to get used to it, and they say pretty funny things on here, so it's all good.

DB: Because there are corps that thrive off the current sheets more than others and, it seems, because “If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with ########.” ($1 to W.C Fields). This is what some corps do rather well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Winter Meetings typically determine if the Corps do not like " the sheets ". The Judges judge from the judging sheets that have been approved by the Corps and given to the judges. The sheets were reconfigured just a few years back. Since then, I have not heard much consternation from the Corps themselves in either World Class or Open Class that the scores and placements by the judges were not about right. As such, without voices of consernation by the Corps themselves, its logical to assume the Corps will put together shows they believe will challenge the students, be fun for them to perform, and be as competitive as they can be within their peer placement groups up and down the ranks of the World Class and Open Class Divisions. Thats my take on what we can all expect in 2022 anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can put anything you want but at the end of the day those that sit in judgement make the call...regardless. A LOT of stuff is given "score" for something that isn't there. Intent is not accomplishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a paramount fixture of beloved Phantom shows from before. Thank you Michael for being a part of Phantom again. You prior contribution helped the audience to love the guard and the corps even more. It's so great to see you with the corps again. You are an integral part of why people have loved this corps. I know your contribution will make many love it even more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A LOT of stuff is given "score" for something that isn't there. Intent is not accomplishment. Strongly disagree. I believe judges are committed to award the appropriate score, given the criteria they have been given. Moreover, I believe judges want to help the adjudicated to achieve the best score they can. I also believe judges give the appropriate scores based on the what and the how, caption by caption, of what the established criteria dictate.
