victorcoly Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I remember someone I know telling me that some judges during the 1987 Season would do like a "Warm Up" before Garfield hit the field. So many places a Judge could get nailed in that drill..very much one had to be on their toes at all times. At the risk of some "grenades" being thrown my way -- the only reason Garfield Cadets drum line popped a perfect 20 in 87 was because field perc judge was not in shape, and spent the final 5 mins of their show parked on the front sideline for the most part. I've listened to the audio several times over the past two decades. Too much dirt from the battery in spots to be "perfect." Just sayin...

skevinp Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 They wouldn't have to be in better shape to sit in the pressbox where they belong. But perhaps that is a separate point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in order for the corps to be judged in a pristine environment, we should get rid of those darn fans too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
