Shameful judging at Bethel 2015

[CiCi]

MENS = Music Ensemble
MEF = Music Effect
VENS = Visual Ensemble
VEF = Visual Effect

Here are some of the worst inconsistencies from judge to judge, although there are more.  The numbers are their rank in each category.  

Peabody - 11 VENS, 3 VEF
Hardin County - 2 VENS, 11 VEF
McNairy - 6 MENS, 16 MEF
Southside - 13 MENS, 3 MEF, 15 VENS, 5 VEF
Dyer County - 2 MENS, 15 MEF
Waverly 15 MENS, 2 MEF


Obviously this made for an overall Band ranking that didn't match up with what's been going on throughout the year.  

Also, Big congrats to Union City for showing no mercy and destroying all of these tiny bands.  You guys are killers.  Way to go.

No mercy? What did you want Union City to do? Try to be less than their best? They performed their hearts out and deserved to take home Grand Champions. Those kids showed passion for what they do and are recovering from losing a band member as well as their head band director fighting cancer. Their band students were very respectful. So stop complaining! Every single band rehearses from July through November and takes home what they put in to it. Congratulations Union City! Well deserved!

Go to Bandmasters. 

[Tiny Band]

Tiny Bands?!?!?! Try having a band with 30 or so total (winds, percussion, guard, DM), and then all about TINY BANDS!

Union City has less than 400 students in grades 9-12. and I have seen bands with 18 winds beat bands with 200. I have been watching band contests for over 30 years. the best bands usually win.
