johnweldy Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hey... it's tradition... judges love screwing XCrossmen; they've been doing it for years. .. They sure didn't when I marched. Bones got credit for everything. 93 I got, 94 I didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoatsPit0307 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Scouts beat Cadets in drums last time the saw themTonight they beat Bluecoats. Good job I don't know what recap you were reading. But the last I saw Coats were just down by .1 from Devs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartyount Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 .5 away from where they were 3 days ago? not that out of line. would you consider it out of line if they improved by .5? Also, if you check the spread between them and BD, it has been increasing gradually, so the spread is nowhere near out of line. Jumps of 0.5 are not that uncommon (ie Cadets from East Rutherford to Allentown), but a drop of 0.5 in a single caption I would consider out of line. But then again - I'm biased. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the bump, but my take on this is that drops will happen, jumps will happen, but the caption is box 5 or it isn't. The sheets are very specific. (for something judging art) The 17.9 to 18.0 barrier, while only a tenth, is supposed to be hard to cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sheets are very specific. (for something judging art) The 17.9 to 18.0 barrier, while only a tenth, is supposed to be hard to cross. Very true, but also remember that jugdes sample parts of their caption and assign numbers based on that. For example: During the percussion feature, the judge is looking at the weapons line near the front of the field and the same time some new and challenging flag work is taking place near the back. They miss the new, clean flag work....cause they were evaluating the weapons. The next time that judge went to 'sample' the silks, the work wasn't pefromed well and not near as complex. The same 'sampling' theory can work for any of the performance captions. Judges can only seen a few things or a hear a few at the same time...thats the reality.

MikeD Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 QUESTION: Was their ANY humor/comedy pursued at all on Sat. in the Allentown performances? The only instance of humor and comedy programming I saw was in the RADIO segment of Crossmen's show. And, regardless of Crossmen's score and placement, the audience (not all, of course, but most) seemed to really buy and enjoy the effective and entertaining aspect of it. People all around me on the 50 yd line nodded, smiled, laughed, and appreciated the Crossmen's entertainment value. Please tell me, were there any OTHER instances of humor/comedy that I missed? (Aside from the tongue-in-cheek humor of the horsehead silks in BDs show!).[/size] Not sure why humor is all-of-a-sudden an indicator of anything. However...the Cavies have lots of little bits of humor interspersed throughout their show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
