dcjosh Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I just listened to their APD, and thought they sounded great. If that's 6th, then 1-5 must be pretty amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's even MORE interesting. <**> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd5times Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Well...if Cavies and BD deserved their placement, than that's what they deserve. If there was a mistake in judging.......why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bd5times Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) I haven't checked the recaps, but I heard that BD took second in Ensemble Music by .1....and 5th/6th in drums/brass. Is that possible? Edited July 24, 2005 by bd5times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCImonkey Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 It's really a catch 22 for judges. If the scores come out "normal" then they are slotting. If they come out all over the place, there was a judging mistake. Crazy man! I'd hate to be a judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordomer Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 And if they are particularly unlucky, they get surrounded and run over unsuspectingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baritoneguru Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 i was at the show tonight, and i can only guess that the 6th place in brass came from dumb mistakes, i heard a euph come in the wrong spot while everyone was resting.. personally i thought the drums and brass were off the charts!!! i did think that the music ensemble was kinda off.. sounded like some phasing between brass and field battery.. .. but thats just what i heard.. who knows what the music ensemble judge heard.... so.. im calling it right now.. if you place 6th or higher in brass then its ok.. cause the top six all have SICK HORNS!!! very good year to buy the finals CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd5times Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) if you place 6th or higher in brass then its ok I know one corps that's probably spitting nails. Edited July 24, 2005 by bd5times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byline Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I think both are quite anomalous... and I don't think there is such a thing as a "mistake" in judging... it's that judges interpretation. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, I do. I'll never forget a mistake I made judging guard. It was a prelims/finals scenario, and for whatever reason the caption awards were based on prelims, not finals. In one of the classes, I gave the top score to a particular guard, and at that time I really thought they deserved it. But, doing my tape for each guard at finals, I clearly saw my mistake and knew I should've given the top score to another guard. But, by that time, it was too late. You're right, that judging is highly subjective. But I also think that subjectivity can lead to mistakes. It certainly did for me, in that particular instance.
