I wouldn't know, since last year I was in the pit, and this year our percussion drill kept us in the back the entire show. So we didn't really notice the judges.

In BOA, there is a percussion judge following the drumline almost the entire time.

Well... unfortunately, our band seems limited to merely local competition due to our newness right now. So we lack that sort of excitement... and also have a rather tense atmosphere at times for fear of being the next victim of one Mr. C.'s random verbal explosions (he doesn't curse, he just tends to insult the player more or less... or threatens to throw the person off the part. The thing about it is that it just seems so random... and uncontrollable).

No there isn't. There is an onfield music judge that samples all performers. There is no judge for solely percussion. DCI has one though.

At BOA, the two judges that you see on the field are judging, 'Music Performance-Individual' & 'Visual Performance-Individual.'

 

Sometimes, the MPI judge will follow the drumline and look at the pit since it is part of the sheet. The MPI subcaption is broken down into three sections, Percussion being one of them...

 

Brass - 75

Woodwinds - 75

Percussion - 50

TOTAL = 200 (or 20.00 points)

In our "Claustrophobia" our third movement started out with us going forward and then turning and facing the right and going like 5-5 steps and a judge was walking right next to me while i was marching it and i turned and WHAM right into him it was hilarious i just plowed through him. haha :)

my freshman year we were all in this big block that pulled forward into a diamond and first the judge was caught in the that but that wasn't too bad because all he did was follow us so he wouldn't get creamed but then we had this big for lack of a better term "docie-do" (if that's how you spell it prolly not) move where there was a group of 4 people in the diamond and we all switched places and the judge was still caught. it was pretty funny watching the tape of him trying to get out.

I wish we did BOA but I dont think were competetive enough yet.

our directors don't like boa. at least that's the impression i've gotten. i actually had no idea so many people did it, until this year i'd never heard of it, and until about 3 weeks ago the only band i knew who did it was l.d.bell. *shrug* would we even be allowed in? but this is off topic.

i wonder how judges (if we ever had on field judges) would manage seeing all of us? twould be impossible, i think.

lol, it would be pretty difficult. I had never even heard of BOA either till I went on Marching Band planet last year. I dont think any bands in my region go to it... but yea this is off topic....

If anyone remembers the big shrinky ball in exodus i think i judge got caught in the middle of it and yelled out some vulgur language. It was in semis i think.

 

In finals during the giant 4 to 5 X you can also see someone run right into a judge.

-individual marching judge..

iono..i just know..not all are visual..and when they are..they just look at marching and parts of the form...the judging of the whole form would be done by a visual judge in the press box

i haven't seen a judge get hit, but it is my goal in life to get one someday.

i've never seen one get hit... but i would love to be the one to do it!!! directors are always saying "the judges know what they're doing... they'll move. and if they don't, just keep going."

I'm pretty sure BOA has 2 or 3 marching individual judges, and 1 visual ensemble judge

BOA:

 

2 Visual: Ensemble and Individual (on field)

 

2 Music: Ensemble and Individual (on field)

 

3 GE: 2 Music and 1 Visual, don't know if any are on the field.
