lemme cook

Lol definetly. I'm hoping they keep the full band retreat in play. It would suck if the rain from last year made it go away for good.

I think this is a positive thing, my only concern is if all the judges are band directors (5A ones Id assume), I'm worried that they might not have the ear for percussion that a percussionist might have. I know I sure don't. And not that there aren't any directors who are percussionists, but I know they are few and far between. My solution would to be to have a special percussion judge, and he or she would be the only one to not switch from music to visuals for finals. I would assume that's the plan but this is new. With that being said I do like the chances for captions now. Especially with all the kids on the field for the retreat it just gives more excitement In this area especially.

So rather than 3 music, 2 visual, there's going to be a WW, a brass, and a percussion judge for music, and then visual ind. and visual ens? I still might be misunderstanding but I think I like this change and the chance for captions to be awarded.

Amen

I think I'm out of the loop. Could you elaborate on the new judging? A source if you got it.

So their band director did write their drill...
