JUDGING: Per DCI 
“A standard DCI adjudication panel consists of eight (8) but varies based on time of season and event. 
Caption: General Effect (GE)
Number of judges:
Two (2) for most of the season, plus a doubled panel of four (4) during World Championships.

Worksheet # 1  …  a place to write down Scores & your predictions ...
                             In other words ... It's a 5 page "Program" for those of us who can't make it to Indianapolis.
Worksheet # 2  …  RECAP … “condensed”  …  15 Columns … The idea is courtesy of  “From the Pressbox”
Worksheet # 3  …  RECAP …   as per DCI   …  31 Columns …
                                                                             doable, but tight on 8 ½ x 11” Letter size paper ... 8 ½ x 14” Legal size paper
                                                                             works “best” on a printer which can handle 11 x 17” Ledger size paper
I did NOT include the “double” GE panel on either RECAP worksheet. It becomes unwieldy.
If you add the additional GE panels it’s best to switch to the spreadsheet with built-in formulas.

Two [2] notes:
“Please” remember schools in the Indianapolis area are now in session.  Students have already begun their 2022 – 2023 school year.

Regardless of all final outcomes Saturday night … “all” Corps members are winners … their achievements remarkable. 
IMO: You have taken Drum Corps to a ^{“higher” level.}  
“Thank you” for all of your hard work, dedication & determination.  What a season it has been … and continues to be.

“Good Luck” Corps!

We’re packed and ready to embark to the sterile city of Indy. Hope there aren’t too many red necks. Turn on the lights start the music 🎶 the Queens are back in town!

Q: Isn't the prelims schedule always released early Wednesday morning?  Seems like it's always published by now. (@7:30am ET)

Caution: turn around.  The board game convention trashed & burned the place down.  Nothing left but debris, ashes, & some monopoly pieces.  There were a few playing games in my hotel lobby when I arrived.  Looked like they were about to head to the airport.  Glad to get 'em out of here...

Patience guy. It will come out.

Man, I wish i could make it  to Indy. I'll be relegated to watching on Flo, still getting used to life with an infant.

[Chief Guns]

Performance times for tomorrow are now posted on DCI.org

[Jurassic Lancer]

I’ll be in section 141, row 19, seats 1-4 all three days
