Carolina09Spirit Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 So, all of us that have seen shows know that judges have a huge responsibility. But know ahead of time, I'm not relating this thread to ANY aspect of how they judge, or scores. This has nothing to do with that. I'm talking about when judges are running in and out of formations, and sometimes slip up. Personally, I've never seen a judge fall, but have seen them get hit. I don't wish any harm on any judge, but it's quite interesting when it does happen. I sometimes wonder though, do the judges after so many shows halfway know where the lines are going to move next? Or are they just good at predicting? I know they try to stay in front or behind the lines, but sometimes space gets tight. Thoughts, experiences...>?

DrinkinOuttaCups Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) Watch any video of the end of Spirit's show at the Atlanta regional, and you're pretty much guaranteed to see that moment where the percussion judge accidentally trips one of the trumpet players...he recovered very nicely, though. Also, I almost ran over Albert Lo at Semifinals in '09. Not intentionally, though - I had no idea how close it was until I watched the high-cam. I was marching backwards and he was behind me. He attempted to get out of my way by going one direction, but my next move took me in that exact same direction.

I seen it live...and to be honest, I had to laugh for a second...but whoever it was did recover very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrinkinOuttaCups Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I also recall seeing a moment in Crossmen's show at San Antonio in '08 where this one guy in the hornline outright crashed into a judge and went tumbling. Aussie went flying off and everything...though I think he recovered pretty well, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ContraFart Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 in '99 after a drill rewrite, I backward marched right into the drum judge, and caused a collision, and had to finish the show without my aussie There is also the Tenor player in '02 magic at finals.....that wasnt a judge, but the kid told me that the judge almost ordered him to get off the field since his face was gushing blood.
