Each year, the workload of met with scorn on the part o the music educators. the DCI office increases, reflecting OCl's increased But while these changes were welcomed as a definite step acceptance as a central clearinghouse for all facets of the toward improvement of the activity, they created several activity. problems.

Even i all the corps agreed on a rule change, continue to thrive and exist. To this end, Drum Corp many important competitions were run by organizations International hosts a Director's College Seminar intended which refused to recognize the new rules as valid. to establish lines of communication throughout the drum and bugle corps activity and share experience and Furthermore, regional competition over the years had left drum corps judges handicapped by lack of exposure to expertise on a variety of topics ranging from budgeting to corps outside their own area.

What the audience hears announced is the final score, the cumulative assimilation of points from the judges who passed stringent admission standards and survived rigorous training programs before being issued credentials. It's their penance for the best seats in the house. Judges use a criteria-referenced system that, in theory, means the score a corps receives is based on its performance in that caption on that night, preventing an individual judge from deciding the outcome of a contest. The three captions - brass, percussion and visual - are evaluated from three levels - field, ensemble and general effect. The system is designed to ensure that corps' performances dictate placements at shows. But a look at the scoresheets reveals the importance of each minute element of a performance and the difficult chore judges face each night. Three judges are stationed near the field to examine individual performers in brass, percussion and visual presentation. Four judges - two for ensemble and two for general effect - are positioned in the press box where they view each corps and assign a score based on specific subcaptions. The general effect music judge, for example, examines the effect of design, repertoire, showmanship and coordination. His counterpart judging ensemble music evaluates tone quality and intonation, musicianship, balance and timing of the music ensemble as a unit. Meanwhile, on the field, a brass judge is examining individual performers on their level of excellence in tone quality, intonation, musicianship and playing technique. To guide a judge, the subcaptions have subcaptions, very similar to viewing individual cells under a microscope. The field brass judge, for example, reviews phrasing, expression, style, idiomatic interpretation, communication and involvement in determining his musicianship score. All that for 5 points. When he reviews the technique of individual performers, he's checking uniformity and method of enunciation, technical proficiency, timing and rythmic accuracy and pitch control. Again, only 5 points. The visual and percussion judges do the same for their categories. Still, to plagerize Yogi Berra: \"It ain't over 'till it's over.\" In drum corps, it's over after the judges meet with instructors to discuss performances. Drum corps is the only system in modern sports that melds performers through their instructional staffs, with their adjuducators. The goal is a better understanding of each one's role on the field. You won't see Sparkey Anderson discussing J balls and strikes with umpires after a ballgame and heaven forbid Mike Ditka huddle with the refs to ponder illegal motion. Yet, as corps assemble at the end of a ot Pictured: performance to hear their scores, judges and instructors congregate in the back bleachers - explaining, arguing and Tim Ochran advising.

Dear Fellow Drum Corps Fans, Drum Corps West represents units from Calgary, Alberta, Canada to Casper, Wyoming; from Phoenix, Arizona to Seattle, Washington and all of the California corps. Over the years, Drum Corps West has proudly included championship corps like the 1972 Anaheim Kingsmen, Santa Clara Vanguard and Concord Blue Devils. Drum Corps West has gone through many changes over the decades. In the late ?O's the name was changed to Pacific Drum Corps Alliance and did not include the Northwest or Rockies corps. In 1983 the name was again changed to Drum Corps West and the Northwest corps retained the Northwest Drum Corps Association for many years. With the loss of the Renaissance from Spokane, Washington, Imperials from Seattle, Washington and the Argonauts of Salem, Oregon, the association realigned with Drum Corps West. Recent additions to the Western Region proudly presents Pacific Crest from Diamond Bar, California, Earthquake and West Coast Sound from San Diego, California. Drum Corps West has established an attitude to encourage new units in the region to grow at a rate that will ensure their longevity in the activity. Drum Corps West is anxiously awaiting the return soon of the Velvet Knights, Sacramento Freelancers and the Seattle Cascades to the national tour. Drum Corps West invites you to vacation on the western third of the nation and enjoy Drum and Bugle Corps in some of the most beautiful stadi- ums in America. Tom Hope DCWest Regional Representative
