That contradicts the minuscule portion of judging I thought I did understand. judges can certainly take crowd reaction into consideration, but i doubt it would be the sole basis of their decision. of course judges, as i heard a famous ( or infamous depending on how one views her) east coast judge doing a DCA show praising how a corps performance was being eaten up by the crowd....that was sitting on their hands. like literally.

You have been involved in the percussive arts in various roles for decades. Do you "like" percussion, or are you just "consisting in or characterized by the presence or possession of features or qualities of percussion rather than their absence"? Okay, I have not explained myself adequately. Starting over. You linked to a WGI percussion effect sheet, and asked where "like" is listed, implied or even hinted at. I cited the phrase "elicits positive responses from the listener". It is worded in third-person; therefore, it does not ask for the personal preference of the judge, but rather whether the judge feels that the effect elicits positive responses from a general audience. I think that positive responses imply that the listener likes something about what they are hearing. Do you think that phrase does not even hint at likability?

mingusmonk Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 The pervasiveness of this thread over the remaining minutiae of points is fascinating. It has gotten parsed down to a couple of tiny cells that were a part of the full OP organism yet it still thrives. Bravo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 appreciation is a positive response. i can appreciate many creative products that i don't happen to like. for example, i appreciate the craftsmanship of most of hemingway's work, but i don't like them enough to read them for fun. just not my thing. i prefer the work of several of his contemporaries, but that doesn't mean i can't evaluate the craftsmanship itself. same with different bands, composers, genres, and on and on and on. rubrics like dci scoresheets try to eliminate subjectivity as much as possible, but it's impossible for any rubric not to have gaps. member corps fill in those gaps for adjudicators, they don't just default to "hey i like this, i'll score it higher". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is accurate. its found on the GE Music caption ( one of the 5-11 judging captions utilized ,depending upon whether its a partial or a full panel utilized at the show competition. ).

Does the show/performance check off the criteria the corps have decided is how they want to be evaluated? That is how judging works. You rank and rate your caption against the various criteria. Personally liking a show is not part of the mix. Yes. .. true. I believe that judges are capable of properly separating their personal likes level with a genre of music, from how the music played in performance checks off the important boxes on the sheets before them.
