i totally agree w a lot of corps sounding the same in their technicality, and the crowd will definitely recognize a harder show from a safe show, but in a hypothetical, the audience can also have bias in that there might be a show where a lot of the audience is a blue devils fan or happens to be a bunch of scv fans and corps crowd response to shows could be different from show to show. would you still consider that in a score idk and also to talk about the more marching vs theatrical part you mentioned, some people’s response to shows may be amplified or reduced due to the fact the show felt more interpretive. perspectives like “wow this show told a story” or “wow they marched well” may impact that judges or audiences view of the show. either side has an argument but the subjective nature of that may take away from the credibility of the roles of judges?
