84BDsop Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 We used to love it when Shirley Whitcomb was judging GE. Her tapes were always so positive, and fun to listen to. It was like having a fan who was also a judge. I always said that if Shirley haad judged 84 finals, I'd have my ring....she LOVED us! She #### near had an orgasm during the opener (appropriate, since the title means a Roman orgy!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchyTenor Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Well, Hi, Jack! Thanks, Tom, for posting those 82 VK pics. That was the day of the infamous "hosing of the Knights." How they went from 72.65 at DCM (7/24) to 61.3 at Whitewater (8/6) is beyond explanation. I'd still like to know who had it "in" for Knights. Were they afraid they'd become a Midwest power? Jan and I were looking at recaps of both shows the other night. Funny how at Whitewater, Swain on MM/VA and Elvord on GE/Brass were the only ones who had scores comparable in same sub-captions from DCM. (Colla VA and Unrath GE/B @ DCM) Everyone else dumped them. Not by tenths, but by points. Yet their next show was back at pre-Whitewater levels. Unfortunately, no matter how much your staff tells you that it was an irregularity, it has to affect you. At that Whitewater show, a second-year-back VK scored 65.05. The Knights, having the best year in the history of the corps, got that 61.30. VK went on first that day, too, and finished 18th. Knights went on 12th and finished 23rd. At DCI pre-lims, VK was 21st and Knights were 15th. Garry in Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84BDsop Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Love Shirley, but...uhm...eeewwww!!!! You kinda had to hear the tape...funny stuff. 'Course, she also used to point out a certain soprano player for overhyping just a tad i the early season....took me until almost 2nd your to stop getting her attention during a show!

Shirley always seemed upbeat, but strict; her highs were highs and her lows were lows! Her daughter, (Kathy?) was also a judge and seemed more brutal...but all in all, the Whitcombs were cool!

A27Lancer Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Shirley always seemed upbeat, but strict; her highs were highs and her lows were lows! Her daughter, (Kathy?) was also a judge and seemed more brutal...but all in all, the Whitcombs were cool! Shirley gave us a few "10's" in GE Visual over the years, however I remember on first tour in 1982, she killed us in visual. I guess maybe we deserved it, as the show was still a work-in-progress. We went on to finish sixth - a major accomplishment for a corps with many rookies, and a new visual staff following the departure of George Zingali. Tough love, maybe??
