And THAT makes all of the difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THATS A GOOD THING. It means judges are calling it the way they see it. I see this time and time again. People complain about slotting but as soon as a judge ventures out, people act like the judge just insulted their mothers basically I agree with you, I feel bad for the judges too. They can never win You talking about my mother?!? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabMaster Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 7 hours ago, henry7184 said: It proves nothing. Again, anyone who has taught or judged still wouldn’t be qualified to judge all captions and through a stream. If they could, then DCI would save itself some money and buy a Flo subscription for one man or woman and just have them log in and judge from their couch. Good grief - where do you come up with this stuff? You have to be in the stadium to judge. You have to be on the field or in the stands, witnessing the performance live and in person. I’ll stick with believing a panel of judges that DCI itself has approved over some faceless people on the internet who can claim to be anything they want. Never did I say judge from home. Can’t you read? I said those who HAVE judged or taught CAN assess what they see on screen. If you think they can’t then why not criticize everyone judging brass, percussion, guard performance quality & show design when they never see it live. But they judge what they see and hear. People with more experience as legit judges and instructors DO have a better understanding of what they see versus someone criticizing corps who have never done either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing both GE judges, One has a visual background and the other is a percussion /music judge. That alone can make a difference in their GE scores. I believe that is how DCI GE judges are assigned, one is GE Visual and one is GE Music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People complain about slotting but as soon as a judge ventures out, people act like the judge just insulted their mothers basically I agree with you, I feel bad for the judges too. They can never win It’s somewhat of a conundrum. On the one hand, we want judges “calling it the way they see it”, as you put it. On the other hand, the corps need some consistency in order to react to the feedback they’re getting. You don’t want to adjust your show based on feedback from a couple shows and then get punished for it by a judge who sees it differently. It’s certainly tough on the judges. In some ways, it seems some “group think” on the content side might be good to promote consistency in feedback but then you start getting into the “slotting issue.” I don’t have a good answer other than maybe we should just cheer on all the good things the kids are doing and not worry about the scores. But darn it, I too want to see my favorite win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ediker Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Brass: 3rd, Percussion: 2nd, Guard: 1st The kids definitely brought it last night!
