Mello Dude Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Ya I don't think anyone can call Jeff a BD shill. Guy has been around and unlike a TON of other judges actually still plays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hostrauser Posted August 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2019 Jeff Prosperie is one of the most honest, high-integrity judges DCI has, in any caption. If he gives you a good score, you earned it. If he has you behind other corps, they earned it more. Doesn't matter what the corps names and uniforms are. And this is the first time JP has had the Blue Devils 1st in percussion during Championships week in a decade. Did he put BD 1st in percussion at 2017 Finals? No. 2016 Finals? No. 2015 Finals? No. 2014 Prelims? No. 2011 Finals? No. 2009 Finals? ...Yes. But then, EVERY percussion judge at EVERY show had Blue Devils 1st in percussion. They went undefeated in the caption that year. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I'm enthused by the show of support for this man. His percussion and judging skills really are above reproach, and he's a great example of "Those who can, do and those who can't teach or judge". All that said, his axe-catching skills suck and need definite improvement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumCorpsRadio Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Jeff's son performed with Louisiana Stars this year. Pretty safe to assume he'll move up to World Class at some point. Will this mean that Jeff can't judge World Class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because they are assigned by DCI, I'm sure they'll not put him in any show where his son's (new) corps is competing. EDIT: Then again, if his son isn't in percussion, would there be harm in JP judging battery of his corps? That's a stretch for me but maybe not for more aluminum foil hat-wearers.

He's going to be back at Phantom Regiment next year, so he can't judge anyway! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many judges make up their minds about a show early and NEVER take a fresh look at each performance. Clearly Jeff is a judge who's willing to let the performers change his mind. And that's the guy you want evaluating your show. Prosperie has BD 5th in drums in 2008, BD loses........PROSPERIE FOR PRESIDENT!!!! Prosperie has BD 1st in drums in 2019, BD wins..........PROSPERIE NEEDS TO BE FIRED NOW!!!! 3 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiga Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Mr. Prosperie is an excellent judge. He had Boston in 7th at finals. Although I wish his number had been higher, he is still an excellent judge and he called it the way he saw it. End of story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
