Proposal: field judges moved to the front sideline
Nine proposed changes to Drum Corps International's rule book are up for discussion at this year's annual winter business meetings and rules congress at the end of January. One of the proposals is to move the field judges to the front sideline.
The proposal has been submitted by Fred Morrison from the Crossmen. The purpose of the proposal is to provide a safer environment for the field judges and the performers, as well as a better overall sampling environment. Judges will not get 'trapped' or miss opportunities to judge their entire caption. Percussion judges would not miss a front ensemble moment when near the back sideline with the battery. It would also mean a better experience for people in the stand.
A biennial event, the DCI Rules Congress is a process that is directed primarily by the participating drum corps. During scheduled sessions 29th and 30th January 29 in Denver, drum corps instructors will meet by caption in individual caucus sessions to discuss the proposals.
All proposals can be found here.
