Hopefully they can pull it together and come back roaring next season to take their place where they belong. Design was a huge let down this year. Yes, I feel like Covid hit a couple corps very hard - there was about two months in April/May 2000 that Blue Knights had folded. They have done quite well considering the dire situation. Donations and PPP money helped! Edited August 7, 2022 by George Dixon spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - they were always uncomfortable with body. I'm glad they've taken a more "balanced approach" to visual design - much less taxing on members' bodies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Allentown so fondly from when I marched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are flying back home Wednesday. Wife has to work Thursday and Friday. Currently sitting in DFW airport on a 2 hour layover lol. We will be Indy around noon. I know Jim is a military man so it would be awesome to meet him one of these days, along with quite a few DCPers. You guys are like extended family lol. Safe trip!

But before I do, I don’t think judging 24 hours apart is an accurate indicator between 2 groups. That being said… Judges 100% were comparing the groups on both nights. If you look at each judge’s scores, they never repeated a score in content or achievement between 2 nights. They were clearly intending for their scores to be an accurate representation to compare both nights. But again, I don’t think it’s accurate, and you’re technically judging 1 group that had 24 hours more to practice. The scores ARE meant to be compared between nights, period. Crown is currently in 2nd place. The weather conditions were very different, but the scores are still very much valid 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 12 hours ago, henry7184 said: There is not. Good grief, we say it for a reason. You cannot compare scores from different nights. It doesn't matter if the judging panel is the same. Everything else is different. They are comparing different corps, which leads them to their numbers. They cannot compare BD last night to Crown tonight. It's entirely impossible. There has never been any type of doctrine set at Allentown and it's absurd to claim so. I’m sorry but you’re simply incorrect on this 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I squint I can see the rationale: an average minimizes the effect of an outlier score at Allentown. But the same math also penalizes a corps that has put it together during the past 1-2 weeks and is legitimately rising. That said, I have every confidence Troop will lay it down on Thursday and let the chips fall. If you're BK (I love BK!), do you want to follow Troopers on Thursday night?
