I find that when we don't like the results, then fingerpointing begins. Just remember a couple of things:
1.When you point at what the problem might be in your reality, realize that 3 fingers are pointing back at you.
2. Everyone knows the results have different ratings. If you will be bothered receiving an excellent rating, then don't pay the entry fee and don't go.
I think our society is reaping the aftermath of the "feel good" days. Let's give everyone a pat on the back and tell them what a wonderful job they did. Let's give everyone a ribbon, pencil, trophy no matter how much or how little work ethic was involved.
Finally, congratulations to ALL of the bands!!! I enjoyed watching and hearing all of you!!!
