I guess to beat BD, you have to be better than them in the fall and winter and out design them before you even have auditions. You say that as if a commitment to year-round excellence from a corps staff is a bad thing. Show designers aren’t evil. They put together a show that challenges performers and gives them something to aspire to. If teams aren’t working in the off season to deliver a high quality show then they might be in the wrong field. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from me sitting down and going through each show with you and describing things in detail, or you going and talking to each judge, what more do you want? Based on the criteria of each individual caption that is judged, BD accumulates the most points to win. I’m sorry you don’t like it. Go be a corps director and propose rule changes. Idk what else to tell you. BD designs well and because of their storied history, they attract top talent in the activity for performers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should design have this much weight on the score? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, this is a hard no for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter, I have lost all faith in the concept of competition in this activity. I just have to accept the fact that BD is going to win and my favorite shows are going to lose and any knowledge I have after 30 years means nothing because I have no I idea what I am talking about. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think you need to take bias out of it. A favorite doesn’t mean it’s the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. I just throw my hands up as I always have and watch those who care way more than me (and likely the MMs themselves) bicker like the hummingbirds at my feeder this morning. 🤷🏽♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
