Re: 1970 Recording

Bob, I am not sure of the scoring, but some of the early DCI shows are using reduced judging panels (fewer judges, not smaller judges). :)

Take a look at the recaps to see how they allocate points when this happens.

The only problem with reading modern recap sheets is that I don't even know what the captions are talking about! I can't find the word "drums" anywhere!

Ha! Bab said: The only problem with reading modern recap sheets is that I don't even know what the captions are talking about! I can't find the word "drums" anywhere!

That's because this isn't drum and bugle corps anymore! :)
'marching' is 'visual', brass and drums are 'music' and 'evaluation' and 'analysis' are used instead of 'performance'. Going to a critique must be a real blast now.
