Over Spring Break, I went to one of our indoor drumline's competitions at Westerville North (near columbus). Some of the best drumlines we've ever competed against were there including Centerville, who beats us every year at each competition no matter what. Like usual, I like to watch each drumline then rate them how I think they stand. After seeing all 7, I had my drumline, Hilliard Davidson 7th while Centerville at 1st. I didn't think Davidson was as powerful, had good enough playing nor where they expressive. To my BIG surprise, Davidson placed 1ST and Centerville 2nd. Later, I found out that 1 of the judges was the retired percussion teacher at Davidson and the other judges knew our drumline very well. I think that they did a horrible job judging. Centerville's music was much harder than Davidsons, but Davidson did have an advantage because they could play their easier music much cleaner. I actually feel bad saying that my old drumline shouldn't have won, but I feel as though they didn't earn it. So, I agree, judges can have certain opinons towards bands...especially if they know the instructor(s)!
