My Scores

[mbui]

Once again, I did my score sheets at Grand Nationals. I only did Semifinals this time around instead of Prelims and Finals. I like to "play" judge sometimes. I like to sit back, watch the shows from every possible angle, put down my numbers, and then compare them to the actual results. I write down all of my numbers after each band has performed using the actual recap and judging criteria of the respective circuit. The difference between my recap is that I show how I arrive at the actual score for each subcaption--something that BOA doesn't show on their actual recap.

 

If you weren't in Indianapolis for Grand Nationals, you missed a great one. There were a lot of great shows this year. The 13-18th place bands in Semis could have been Finalists in any other year. Very impressive showing by a lot of the groups.

 

Congratulations to all of the Grand National participants, Class Champions, Semifinalists, Finalists, and this year's Grand National Champion, L.D. Bell HS.

Disclaimer: I missed out on Columbus North HS and Fred J. Page HS during Semifinals because I was in dire need for some food. I put their actual scores up against the numbers on my sheets.
