Just saying that maybe it’s time to break from the mold and stop expecting corps and DCI to follow/award the monkey see, monkey do paradigm. Not hating on anyone here, just wanting to see other captions get awarded more than what they are today.

Just because it's a fad doesn't mean it will score well. Quick....look at corps placing out of finals. they had props....but didn't score well, now did they? So how is it required for success? How many points did Surfs props get them? which goes back to what i typed. you feel you shouldn;t have to have those things to be successful. Ok...go design a show and prove us all wrong. Remember, you had to have a uniform....til Bloo showed you didn't have to have one. Now few have them. But are they all scoring well? No. it's not what you have, it's how you use it. that's the part none of you want to listen to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren’t earning any converts, and this discussion is its own thread. Thanks for the info and thoughts, but time to let it go. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how is it required for success? How many points did Surfs props get them? That's a logical fallacy. Props are necessary, but not sufficient to score well. There's also the requirement for a certain level of proficiency and excellence to score well. Props are a differentiator. If two corps play and execute well, having the props add that little extra special sauce to push one over the other. Now, if the props are crap, then I'm not even sure if that detracts... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info and thoughts, but time to let it go. Who exactly isn't letting something go? The last several pages of this thread have been "Phantom Regiment isn't being rewarded at doing things that I like. They should be rewarded because I like those things." Here are four things that I find to be true: (i) I loved Phantom Regiment in 2022. (ii) They deserved 8th at best (could argue 9th, though that's essentially a rounding error). (iii) If Regiment wants to move up in the world, they need a more sophisticated thought process on visual and electronics. (iv) Hoping that Regiment doesn't implement (iii) means that one needs to accept that they'll hang around their current placement (and by "accept," I mean "continue to grumble about it next October"). (with respect to (iii), I think they made strides this offseason) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaleefree Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Well, we are getting a new Food truck this year, I think 600k worth. Not that the old food truck was ever accused of having bad food or small quantities of food. I think that may help the corps, at least the A/C will keep old volunteers like me from totally burning out working there on hot days. I wonder if this one will just be called food truck or if they will find a cute name for it, the other trailers have names, but I think the food truck was Just "Food Truck ". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
