If you’ve looked at the recap, it’s all over the board with way too many perf over rep. Rickart being the only sensible one. I’m honestly embarrassed for some of these judges who have no problem attaching their name, and reputation, to their publicly opinionated score. I no longer have faith in judging qualifications. Naivety or ego? yes. the judges judged their sheet, and the show of the day. previous results mean nothing. many reviews said some of what Fridays recaps bore out were evident live....and the same said for last night. additionally, judges can go back and adjust numbers, so if they put one down, and later performances make them need to rethink things, they can. i realize that kind of objective thinking kills every homerism argument out there, but it's true. the guys and gals in green really don't go out there to serve some kind of political agenda 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When four judges, two weeks from finals, separate into two clear groups, and their scores are over half a point apart—that’s bad. And I don’t think that’s really arguable. It’s the caption I find myself caring about the least even though it’s the most important one. Considering it is what SLOTS corps where they are in the end😦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If corps put on "circus acts" and enough people are happy, more power to them. There are corps that will never do circus acts, at least not consistently. Their job is to hold down the legacy fort. Others, rightfully so, have legacies that give them more freedom to color outside of the lines. The excellent corps figure out how to do both. 1987 Star of Indiana literally had circus acts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be criteria and a set and clearly defined criteria. I agree it doesn't make sense that the GE 1 and GE 2 judges are all over the place. There should be some consistency between them based on a set of criteria. Personal preference should have no place in judging, but how do you remove it? We all have personal preference. the GE sheets have criteria. remember 2 people on the same sheet are not looking at the exact same things at the exact same time, even if in the box.

Save the show sponsors some $$$ and hire 1 GE judges. If all the judges have them same numbers its "slotting". If the numbers are all over the place, folks complain about that as well. What a thankless job judging must be... Z preach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had some down years in the middle, but more often than not they are. The caption isn’t really a weakness for them anyways haha. We do have to remember going back 5 years today(beginning of august 2017) only gives us 2 full competitive seasons and some change, and we can thank Covid for that haha thanks i forgot 19. and i'm not implying they are bad. the percussion caption is incredibly competitive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
