Stuff DCI Judges Say

[@zachzuber32]

I love how throughout the years the mic still manages to not change lol

[@adamshepherd7370]

Fr, the recording from the 79 sounded better than the ones from the early thousands

[@savisbaddd]

I think this goes to show that the judges are just as big of DCI nerds as everyone else is

[@Newlolz989]

They are the biggest nerds of them all

[@russellchevalier3606]

That’s how they became judges. That and an outstanding background in the arts.

[@Newlolz989]

@@russellchevalier3606 did you know the(edit: some of) blue man group guys are old cavalier Marchers??

[@russellchevalier3606]

At one time all had previous affiliation with DCI groups. Not just Cavaliers through the years. Who knows what it has been since Cirque obtained it, though a number of those performers all were DCI performers.

[@tambourvideo]

SCV had a drum book called "Violent Ice Cream," named after a judge's comment. He said something like, "Snares...OMG...that was like violent...ice cream!" I love that, I'd love to hear that tape!

[@macerunner4674]

that sounds amazing

[@springlink3188]

Reminds me of when we had a judge that legit just talked about his drive home during our ballad, He gave us a good score too…

Crazy how the TILT closer can still give me chills through the Judge Mic 😂 “GOOD FOR YOU!”

[@tortillajoe]

This video is incomplete without the inclusion of “That spock roll was… CLEEEAAANNN!!!”

[@booker9816]

Lots of corps *hate* first judge because they never say anything that’s wrong about their show, so obviously they don’t get the feedback they need.

[@jeffgray7922]

My two favorites are "WOOOOOOW!!!" - Jeff Prosperie and "The Rubato was money all the way through!"-Mike Leitzke LOL

[@plainki2174]

good job bass drums.

[@KuwaywayLogic]

i really want to see a step-by-step process of how the judges come up with the scores because it just seems like they are losing their minds like everyone else with these performances so how do we get such close and precise scores??

[@oscarshetler6304]

There are a lot of judges so that they can get more detailed things but they usually don’t point out all of the mistakes in tapes they’ll just say “that worked” or “that needs work” but on the sheets they go into detail

[@AggiePhil]

It’s all arbitrary as hell.

[@alexanderthorne5366]
