I'll do brass if it's still open

I'll try percussion.

Percussion

I know it's not listed in the drive but if anyone has Cavaliers 2010 on video, well PM me :^)

I saw it on YouTube last week, but I dunno if it's still there

Yeah, I've seen that one, and one on vimeo- but those videos cut off RIGHT BEFORE THE ENDING. :(

There's the full version up on a Chinese streaming site, but I can't seem to extract it without it getting cut. :(

I'm giving you three more days to judge. Brass percussion, and GE visuals are closed; meaning, we already have the max of two judges per caption.

Current judges, if you would like to judge another caption, please post it here. New judges, view what is available.

Brass - corndogshuffle, cjbuckley1997 ***(CLOSED)***

Percussion - Mariachi, rhythmicthinking ***(CLOSED)***

Music Ensemble - Aaron0316, PKOmega64 ***(CLOSED)***

Colorguard - liebling82

Visual Performance - cjbuckley1997

Visual Ensemble - Aaron0316

GE Music - FinalFantasy

GE Visuals - crowleylex, gcurrier ***(CLOSED)***

I can judge music ensemble

As far as I know, music ensemble is closed. I just judged it, believing that nobody was going to judge it, and then, I received an email with someone stating they were judging it. Are you interested in judging another caption?

I could try visual performance. It still says music ensemble is open though, so I think that should be updated

That is correct. Now I will update it :) Music Ensemble just literally closed as of when you stated you would judge it. Go for visual performance. Keep a good eye on horn movements, angles, footing, dance, and difficulty of individual performance and achievement in all sections.

Okay, thanks for the advice!

Just a reminder... Tomorrow (Wed) is the deadline for the week 1 match up scores. I'm waiting on these three judges; Mariachi (Perc), corndogshuffle (Brass), gcurrier (GeV).

Please try to get those in soon.

Thank you

What are your thoughts on these results? Do you agree? I totally agree that Phantom'12 won best brass. I was very surprised that Cavies'11 beat Phantom'12 in music, but in real life, all it takes is one caption to make or break corps. According to our percussion judge, Cavaliers slayed Phantom in percussion by 0.775.

I totally agree that Cavaliers'11 beat everyone else in visuals and effect and that Phantom '11 was a close second place in those areas.

Do you agree with the spread between Bluecoats 2013 and Blue Knights 2014?

Round 2 match up coming soon...

Are you guys and gals excited for this next match up? I am! Battling in Round 2 for a spot in finals is.....

in order of performance:

The deadline for submitting scores is Wednesday, August 12. ENJOY!!

Clearly I agree with Phantom Regiment winning best brass. :)

I was shocked by the gap between Phantom Regiment and The Cavaliers. Thought they would be closer to a toss up than that (I think the right group won, I'm just referencing the spread).

I thought the gap was about right for Bluecoats to Blue Knights. I really enjoyed BK's show (had never seen it before) but it was just not nearly as polished as what BC were doing.

Overall I think the right groups fell in the right order, and the scores lined up with my general thoughts. Cavaliers were slightly ahead of Phantom Regiment, Phantom Regiment was clearly ahead of Bluecoats, and Bluecoats were significantly better than Blue Knights. Looking forward to the next round of judging!

For those judging, I use actual DCI sheets as a guide when I judge. You can use them to help you.

I even modified the percussion sheet just a little for this competition because I'm a big nerd.

May I judge guard?

rhythmicthinking - that's a really nice link, I saved that for more than just this competition, that'll come in handy a lot in the future
