Land_Surfer Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) If it’s more difficult to decide which is better these days, it’s because there has been a monumental shift away from the fundamentals of what drum corps is. There has been so much more complexity and palaver added to show designs in the pursuit of creating a 100 yard theater setting which counters what drum corps is and makes judging it accurately a next to impossible mission. You could throw darts and likely do just as good as today’s judging. Heaven forbid today’s staff and members found out about that the golden days of DCI actually included the occasional post-show fisticuffs between corps to further establish superiority, despite the scores.

If throwing darts are determining these things, the judges must be tossing the magnetic darts to the bullseye from the Blue Devils kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm another small brained peasant when it comes to the judging world but I never understood why the drumline I marched with was slotted in the mid teens (with the rest of the corps) and then that same winter half of them would go on to win WGI with music city.

KVG_DC Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I've never quite noticed but the kick out was generally accompanied by the release of a 'cloth stingray' thingy (sometimes a whole family of them) until 2002. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
