I got similar comments at marching contest. To put things in context, we were a 1A school with 22 kids on the field.

We got a 224. The judge that gave us the 4 said on the sheet:

"You really need to work on recruitment. Don't you think the performance will be better with more people on the field?"

No &^$@ Sherlock. I really, really needed a judge to tell me the obvious.
