I believe the judge was Lloyd Pissola(sp) doing GE Brass. It was at the
1982 Louisville Ky show about the second week of August that had us (BD)
and Garfield and other corps. Garfield had just recently beaten PR and
Madison for the first.
This was during the Blue Devils opener of TO:
"Well, I gave Garfield such a high score, and didn't allow room for you
guys, I am giving you a 10 in GE Brass, I'll tape the show for you".
That was it.

Secondly... Len Carey... in addition to being one of the really great guys
in drum corps - is one of the most accomplished professional musicians
involved in drum corps... he's played with more symphony orchestras than
you've ever seen... you picked the wrong judge to slam on here -
especially considering the number of bad drum judges around...
His comment - taken out of context - seems pretty funny, but somehow I
suspect that were I to listen to the tape... it would make sense...

I'll dig out my WGI tapes after camp this weekend and review them. Lots of funny
stuff there. I remember one...
"Ok snareline... ease off the flam accents there... a little overbearing."
They were flam taps.
My last year in high school at BOA...
"Mellos, be sure to <crunch, smack, crash> ouwfurrrrrfffffffaghh!!! <ahem>...

I was top. Heh, backed over him pretty quick. I think second hit him on the
turnaround, then in the next song he was too close to me during a unison and my
mallet knocked the hell out of him...

Judges often mispeak during attempting to follow the program and make commentary.
Obviously the term sculpture, meant sculpt, and meant to try to use dynamics and
be more expressive.
Maybe you might want to put up your credentials against Len Carey. The little I
know is that Len was the prinicipal percussionist for the Syracuse Symphony and
instructed the Syracuse Brigadiers as well as numerous other corps in upstate NY.
He performed with the USMA band at West Point for many years and judged numerous
DCI Finals. He is one of the more knowledgeable rudimental drummers I've met and
has a special interest in Basel/Swiss drumming.
Last time I went to California, Len invited a few of us over to the house. He got
out his Swiss drum and performed some of the most complex rudiments known to man.
I think he qualified to judge.

Bruce, I understand it. Evidently, you brought out some silks that did
not give the effect that the judge felt that moment needed visually.
See, boys, its simple.

Now this one needs some explaining. For some reason well back in the annals of
drum corps, I did the Chevy Chase intro to the Crossmen. If my memory is
correct, it during the mid-to-late 80's, when they were on a tough tour. The
kind were busses breakdown and everyone is depressed, so I thought it would
lighten the mood. It went over well, so it became a annal tradition to the
Bones.

Len is one of the best and it is an honor to call him my friend. In 1979, he
judged with me at all my DCE and DCI shows. I only had 5 or so. He really helped
me get started and understand how to handle difficult situations.

does warrant mentioning here. In 1982 we were being judged by a person with an
accent of some kind, sounded French or something. My band was playing a
standard "Spanish opener" in Bb with the standard 32 count intro/fanfare which
then had a 4 count drum break then led into the first main theme. You all with
me...at the conclusion of the first big impact major chord at the end of the
opening fanfare, the judge yelled into his tape:
"BITCH!!!!!! What that!!!"
Of course, he meant PITCH!! But it REALLY sounded like BITCH!! We listened to
that tape a thousand times, and I still have it to this day...

somehow ended up at our (Northernaires) hall after our home show.
On it, judge Cecil Austin, wrote such things as:

"Trio in opener sucks"
and one other thing that he said sucked but I can't remember what it
was!
At least he was to the point!!

Isn't it GREAT dude! Very rarely do we get the opportunity to slam a judge
(especially me on 2nd bass). I hit a drum judge in 97 with my mallet going
back field (not TOO hard though ;-} ) He was checkin out the cymbals
while looking backfield, and BOOM! All the sudden the basses were finished
counting our rests. It was sweet. Maybe i'll get the chance again in the
summer of 00, and 01 when i age out.

I don't think anybody wants to hit the judges, but if they are in the way there

Tom & Karen Peashey
(usually caused by the performer backing up blindly) but I would hope that
it is NOT an adversarial relationship and that - given the opportunity to do
so - a warning would be issued...
Many times I appreciated a quick "look out!"... besides how well can you
perform if you just bumped into somebody... on the field etiquette was
quite common when I worked and always appreciated... Besides... I was too
damned big a moving target out there... I rarely lost in any collision...
Thankfully, as a visual judge - they (collisions) were most rare... The
ones I always "feel" for are the drum guys... That's an impossible
situation...
Here's one experienced vote for pulling the drum guy off the field or at
least to the sidelines where most brass guys work... They can't possibly do
a good job under those ridiculous situations...
For the most part... the visual guys can stay out of trouble... and harm's
way... (especially since "reading" drills is supposed to be their
expertise...)

progress and class- corps.
At one first-time competition, my corps put on a fairly good show, and
amazingly (given their instructor's ability) came out third in a group of
fifteen corps. I was, of course, elated and wanted to thank the judges, two of
whom I recognized from my Junior corps days. When I got to the table, I did the
usual "How the hell are you?" stuff. That being dispensed with, one of them
asked me, "So, what *you* doing here?"
"My corps was competing. They came out third."
"That was *your* corps? I wish I'd known that *before* the compettition."
Before I could ask the next obvious question, said judge was collared by
two very unhappy instuctors, and I was called away to get on the bus back to
Brooklyn.
When I did see my judge/friend again, it was a number of years later, and
he said he had no recollection of that conversation.To this day, I
wonder............................mario

It was fun to see them run around on the field from the stand.
I had my share of running in to judges on the field.
Bring them back to the field so they can proper judge corps.

Early tape story:
I was teaching a Garden State corps that went up to the World Open in the
70's. We got our GE drum tape and played it. The judge had started it the
minute we began our entry cadence and left it running the whole time through
the march-on and the intros. The show started, and not one word. Finished the
opener, and still not a word; we could hear the corps very nicely on the
tape, though. Eventually we heard one coment like "nice solo" after the drum
solo, and that was about it on the entire tape.
We got our sheets, and the GE drum sheet said" "see tape".
Well, we could see the tape, but we sure didn't hear much. :-)

Our Caption head at Glassmen relayed to us a story about a judge that made an
interesting comment on a tape while he was teching a contra section
elsewhere. The Contras absolutely nailed some sort of lick and all you heard
on the tape was the Contras nailing the section and the judge screaming "I
WANNA PLAY CONTRA BASS IN THIS DRUM CORPS!!!!!". He says he plays it on his
days when he is feeling bad...hehehehe

caption from the sideline or stands. he needs to be directly in front of the
line in order to evaluate exactly what they are playing, and especially to
hear how well they are playing it.
kids do not go out of their way to hit judges. doing so would mess up the
drill and no kid would sacrifice that just to hit a judge. when i see it
happen, then i'll believe that. the simple fact is that judges just happen to
be there. the vast majority of kids do now want to hit judges, and in most
lines they will yell at the judge to move before they get hit.

Not true :) In my days of marching, great pride was taken by SOME members
in colliding with a field judge.... not that I would ever intentionally
move out of a line for that purpose.
