I suppose so, but considering centennial was the underdog of this compeition it breaks my heart that they were so close to brings home that caption. (Marcus 1st with a 44. Centennial 2nd with a 43, keller 3rd with a 38)

GE is the least weighted of the three major captions.  

 

2 music judges = 400 points

2 visual judges = 300 points

1 GE judge = 200 points

 

Percussion and Guard are not included in the total used for overall placement.

Anyone else find it interesting that GE and music are weighted the same while visual is less?

Music: 200

Visual: 150

GE: 200

Color Guard: 50

Percussion: 50

Visual is almost always worth less than music, but I guess they wanted to be more of a boa style contest than UIL.

I totally read the scoring sheets wrong...thanks for the clarification!

It looks like they're including percussion and guard in the totals for overall ranking...my mistake.  I don't know if that's a new thing, or maybe I confused it with another contest, like the DMI.  Combined, they only contribute to 1/10 of the overall score, though.

That's an odd thing to say. But maybe you don't fully mean that, or maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

 

If GE was not judged whatsoever, a band could play long tones while marching 8-to-5 up and down the field, and would effectively be competing at the same level as a band with an actual show. Even UIL has a design element integrated into the music and marching captions.

 

When I was in marching band a long time ago, 8 to 5 was all anybody marched!  We didn't even know there was anything else.   :lol:  :D
