Huh? What did you say?
I wear earplugs during all warmups and then sit away from the group during performance. The gym was rockin' and the bass drums are pretty muddy sounding. Surprisingly, the snares don't swamp the sound as much as you would think.
We were 3rd in our division but scored too high, so we get bumped up a class for the next performance. Sort of a unique judging process. You decide how good your group is and enter them in that class. Then if you're too good they move you up to compete against better groups. Akin to drag racing where you have to get close to the qualifying time.
