It’s not prefer. It’s does it meet the criteria on the sheets. now as for Phantom, I loved it. But it was dirty. But it was a great return to competitive relevance. As they try to climb the ladder more I expect changes in design 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it requires a timing judge(s) so be it. Perhaps even delaying scores and using a video taped ala "instant replay" to go over these minimum timers or "compulsory" show requirements. Hey, we are supposed to be looking forward right? Nope. Because isn’t that one of the reasons they broke away from the veterans groups? Required tempos, start here, end there…. It was. Design was as important as control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endurance is a thing and when you get to take breaks with all the different muscle groups, it is less challenging. Also, if one develops a good basics program, that will allow one to do many things consistently between members. It's just a different way of looking at things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question. It isn’t like discussions during the off-season ever drift off topic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply having show minimums would make shows easier to judge side by side. Unless, you simply want to award shows that do more. I could live with that.

The more achieved with clarity, the more demand goes up. Great you’re hauling ### half the show. But if it’s not clean, am I the judge supposed to give you points just cause you tried, even if you don’t achieve? No. There’s no compulsory factor in drum corps for a reason. You hear complaints now of how much is the same…..you make compulsories required Oy vey! so no running and not being clean isn’t demand. It’s bad design and instruction because it’s not clean. A judge should not reward it just cause So there’s no compulsory factor in drum corps? Explain the “need for props” or staging. Just asking for a a few friends. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not be compulsory, but your score doesn't rise if you don't have some moving props. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ding ding ding ding.......unwritten "compulsory" is causing this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
