Topics Discussed
- Championships-
Per a request from the judge's association,
some options were considered to revise the format of circuit championships.
Because several of the color guard classes have grown to such large numbers,
the judges have felt that they are not able to adequately assess scores
and placements. The entire purpose of this discussion is to ensure valid
and fair adjudication to all units.
After many options were discussed, the following
proposal was made:
For circuit championships, the executive board
will develop a block, pre-block, and post-block score for all classes.
These "block" scores will be loosely based on WGI block scores. Championship
performance order will be determined by a unit's block status. Once block
position is determined, performance order will be designated based on blind
draw. Sweepstakes points will no longer be awarded. In addition, the board
will begin discussing a plan to implement a prelims/finals circuit championships
in future years.
Proposed by Alan Hunt, second by Chad Guess.
Unanimously passed.
- 1998 Schedule-
Last year we had 10 available show weekends.
This year (1999), because of holidays and regional scheduling, we have
11 available show weekends. Circuit championships, however, will be the
weekend prior to WGI.
- SCGC Ticket Prices-
It was decided to keep SCGC ticket prices
as is at $5.00 per day / $8.00 for 2 day pass.
- Contest Entries Process-
Entries will be receive starting Nov. 1st
by mail, fax, or e-mail (if available). Circuit office will draw for those
entries marked prior to Nov. 1st. All circuit dues are due on the day
show entry is received by the SCGC office.
All others will be entered into each show
by post mark. Show Schedules will be set by Dec. 1st. Show schedules will
be mailed to sponsors and units by Dec. 15th. Shows will close at 25 guard
units and 20 percussion units. Any units entering shows after Dec 1st will
be entered by a first come first served basis.
All shows will close three Fridays prior to
date of show. If a show does not have at least 8 guard units and/or 5 percussion
units prior to January 1, 1999, that show will be canceled.
All unit entries must go through the circuit
office.
Proposed by Tim Vaughn, second by Randall
Waters, passed.
- Compensation for Chief Judge-
Discussion about compensating the Chief Judge
with a $500 stipend for the planning, organizing, and securing of judges
for contests. Shift the responsibility to the Chief Judge for percussion
contest judges as well.
Proposed by Tim Vaughn, second by Chad Guess, passed.
- Circuit Officers' Salaries-
Proposed that SCGC personnel salaries be discussed
by the executive board at the September meeting with documentation supporting
roles and duties of such offices.
- Percussion Judges-
It was discussed that we need to establish
a training program for new and existing judges. They need to qualify through
the Gulf-Coast Judges Association. Only sanction shows with judges who
are qualified through this process or judges who judge in a reputable circuit
or on the national level.
- Circuit Dues-
Proposal to raise yearly dues by $30 to have
extra funds available to potentially get more outside judges to all areas
of the circuit. These funds will not be specifically allocated to judges,
but will raise the available funding overall.
Proposed by Alan Hunt, second by Chad Guess,
passed.
- Individuals Competition-
Entry will be limited to one per unit per
division. At retreat of circuit championships, all entrants will be pulled
to the front and awards will be presented.
- Balance of Circuit checking account at the end of the season is $2,374.34
- SCGC now has an official web page (still under construction) located at http://www.oocities.org/Colosseum/Bench/2728
