wsma is rigged north wasn't as close to as good as some of the other bands there. they had the orders picked before schools even started playing. at 8 52 it was posted on jsonline that Sussex received 4th place and they were only 2 minutes into their show.
So you are telling my Repertoire and Composition have nothing to do with difficulty. Clearly with the easy and boring show North has they should be very low in those categories...
Each section had a little soli and then they came together and had a a short feature. You may have had an elaborate solo on a weaker year and I applaud your ambition. How clean was it though? Judges award points for perfection. Because the book was easy, less points possible but they were awarded most of them.
Alright EmoElliott88, let me give you the readers digest version of WSMA judging:
Each caption (visual, music, etc.) has two boxes. The top box is show design. This includes difficulty as well as coordination of elements. The bottom box is execution. This is how well the band performs the book.
So a large part of the score (roughly half) is based on difficulty. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't criticize without a factual argument to back it up.
Hey, guess what dominator? I just went and looked up the adjudication forms, and it doesn't talk about difficulty. variety and creativity, yes, but that can be done with easy music. IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT DIFFICULTY. look it up. YOU'RE WRONG. I did back myself up with the REAL wsma forms.
All drumlines have weak years; my line was very young last year. But we still had a drumbreak where the whole line played together at the same time. Each section kinda played a little soli thing in yours, but it wasn't a true drum solo. You can't just not have a drum feature due to a weak year. And you guys did make your show clean and solid...by writing an easy book. And about cymbal lines, SCV is one of the most exciting corps out there, and they have the most intense cymbal line out there.
SCV is indeed exciting and they do have a great cymbal line. Did they win? The corps took 5th and their percussion took 6th. Granted I wanted them to beat Cavaliers because I liked there show this year but that is a conversation for a different time. Regardless, the point is cymbal lines don't suddenly make a drumline great of legit or anything nor do they suddenly add GE. Because we decided to keep 3 members playing a different instrument then marching cymbal is our choice,
Um yes there was a drum feature albeit it wasn't too long. We had a very young line that year so the main concentration was making all of the drum show solid and clean so we could build upon it the next year. How many finalist drum corps use cymbal lines? One. How many BOA finalists use cymbals lines? I don't know but would imagine not many. Ever band in AAAA stepped it up this year.
Ok.....why do you zoom up on your front ensemble so you can look at their poor technique? Your drumline may have played the crap out of your book musically, but it was probably the easiest high school book i've heard. I'm waiting for WSMA to judge by difficulty as well, because if that would be put into the mix of judging you guys would find yourself in much more trouble. I was happy to see this year you at least had a drum feature this year, but it is still way easy...CHALLENGE YOURSELVES!!!
Is the drumline missing something? Oh, I know, a drum feature and a cymbal line. If you really want to be the best you would be able to incorporate both of the things into your show. Now I'm not saying that you wouldn't be able to pull it because with your audition process you should be able to acquire a few cymbal players. Chippewa Falls on the other hand has an outstanding cymbal line this year (2009) and two drum features.
I'm from Hamilton (the band in the red in the middle), and it was definitely a weaker year for us. Kudos to North and West--You'll reign supreme for...well...probably forever, and that's okay :)
The First group in blue looked the best their horn angles and postures were REALLY good along with music and the last group was also good too the one in the middle was the dirtiest out of all 3
its crazy to see how much band is different in texas (where im from) and this state...im not saying that this isnt good but it is SO much different down here.
Please do inform me as to how the TRAINED judges were not judging right if you can inform me and provide solid evidence maybe ill consider that dumb ass statement to be true utherwise youre still stupi and still need to work on your spelling
First of all, this childish bickering should stop from all sides. North, West and Oak Creek all represent our respective cities very well. Bottom line is the judges decide who's best. And for now, North is the best. A few years ago, West was. A few years from now, who knows... Bottom line is all 3 bands from Waukesha and the band from Oak Creek are truly among the elite.
To "buildinup": You represent West rather poorly, both in the substance of your inadequately structured argument, and in the grammatical presentation of your inarticulate thesis. Perhaps you could benefit from individual tutoring from Northstar band members, who excel both musically and scholastically, and who demonstrate good sportsmanship both in winning and losing.
Is that all the Waukesha bands care about? Winning? This is all really dumb.
I liked West's Show better than norths ( I dont go to west), and I don't think there should have been a 5 point gap between third and first.both did a really good job. Do you really care if your the "best band in existence"?
I'm just going to say that alfeyreya your an idiot if you think you guys are the best band in all of exsistance. north's band has been going on since the early 80's and you guys have won 7 state championships. west's band has been going on since '94 and have won 8 state championships. when west is open for less than half the time you have been and still have more championships...i dont think that makes you the best. just saying.
well then you are still retarded and north is the best so you can shut up and if your in a band then try harder next year and maybe you'll beat the best band in all of exsistance(aka the state of wisconsin)
builden up you need to work on your spelling and punctuation, then ill consider your comment till then i consider you a moron and will treat you likwise
if west or oak creek deserved to win they would have, but the didnt so... and by the way west didnt win any captions(salt)and no one said west deserved to win
No Drum feature! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP! EASY SHOW!! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP! i guess i can say you guys nailed it, but i've also gotta say, that is a pretty easy show. oak creek deserved the win. and i'm not even from oak creek, so i am not biasing that in any way for the record.

Although they aren't the best band I woulod have to say that the difficulty of their show puts them right up there with everyone else.
