100TH EPISODE!!!! THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR ALL THE SUPPORT FOR THE STUDIO SHOW, you guys are awesome! And make sure you watch today's video carefully for details about DISCOUNTS for this week only + GIVEAWAY coming soon! Anyway, it's time for another ridiculous drum corp themed #LetsWatch - thank you Kevin and Christopher for recommending these two videos to watch! Let me know what you think of these crazy crazy videos in the comments below :) #TheStudioFamily

[@AnDream109]

Adam Tan Green shirt guy is a field judge. They recently restricted field judges to the front sideline just this year. But before that, there was this culture of “If a judge is in your way, knock ‘em over. Nothing is more important than the show.” Hard to judge when your also trying not to get trampled.

[@zingiestbug4251]

DCI!!!!!!!! I love the bluedevils so muchhhh

[@skymanderggg_9792]

HI ADAM!!!! can you feature me in a video take it as an advantage rather than a give, i play snare or tenor btw and you can play over my solo or sum i think it would be good views and idea

[@kalebbowlin9148]

Hey adam watch broken arrow high school marching band from 2019

[@theendlesswanderl8149]

The dude in the green was a judge. Funny thing, we are aloud to run over them if they get in the way. So he has to judge and not get ran over.

[@coolcurler1240]

I'm pretty sure that guy in green that chased the drums was a field judge

[@lukebruner1805]

CoolCurler12 he’s an instructor following them making sure they do what they’re supposed to. he notes the mess ups and tells them after the run

[@pandasupersaiyan4100]

CoolCurler is correct. He's a percussion field judge. This is at competition so no instructors would be on the field

[@lukebruner1805]

CoolCurler12 actually this is just rehearsal, if it were competition they would be in uniform and not wearing head cams, with the exception of a victory run at dci finals. trust me, it’s an instructor taking mock judges notes, i marched music city and we had someone do this

[@pandasupersaiyan4100]

Glass FN he's talking about the first performance, which was at dci finals

[@lukebruner1805]

CoolCurler12 thanks for clearing it up

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Super refreshing to watch :))

[@samsignorelli]

@@AdamTanPercussion It was probably the most fan fave show of the year. i saw it early season and i was PRAYING it'd make finals. I'm a Blue Devils alum, and I was happier that Academy made finals in '16 than i would have been if BD had won and gotten that elusive three-peat.

[@mikewebster1743]

To answer your question at about 9:50: Back before 2019 there were a couple judges on the field: Visual proficiency, brass proficiency, and the percussion proficiency judge. The dude right there was the judge for the Drumline and Front ensemble. Starting in 2019 though, these judges are now relegated to the front sideline and a few yards behind the front sideline.

[@MRasgaitisGaming]

“I wish I could hear these brass flexes in person.” Man, try coming to dci finals next year. It’s really a great experience, having so many people around you that have such a love and appreciation for the marching arts. 100% worth your time to come to a show. The old drumline instructor at Michigan state who I can’t remember their name for the life of me, went to their first dci show and I believe it was the kidsgrove scouts that he saw and he was amazed. He told us that he said “well how can they not win? They’ve gotta come in first place!” They scored fifteenth place that year. The amazing thing about this activity is that once you take away the scores, they’re just groups who strive to be excellent, and each one of them are. Also, guy in the green is a judge! This past season they moved them so they can now only watch from the sidelines as a safety reason.

How did you notice that?

[@bricesonwatson8833]

Thanks for the timestamp

[@bricesonwatson8833]

Heres a timestamp 11:20

[@justincole6108]

yeah the guy in green is the percussion judge (i think that was jeff prosperie, if you've heard of him). up until 2018, the judges were allowed to go onto the field during the performance and do their evaluation from close up, and the perc judge frequently runs around between the drumline and the front ensemble.

[@monoex2989]

I saw this show live!! I remember losing it over the pit, I never wanted to be apart of a front ensemble more than in this show specifically. The academy is such a great corps

[@Ningen14]

So no one gonna say anything about the guy literally playing his drum so damn hard it came off its harness? No...no one...just me...at 11:20?

Another term for Brass Flex is Power Chord. It is when the entire brass section builds a massive chord, whether it is an amazing moving line or the base structure

[@cotybostian544]

The guy in the green was the percussion judge.

2018 is the CRAZIEST of his 3 with BD

[@kalebbowlin9148]

I agree no one talks about 2018 but its crazyyy

[@dciaudio]

Quick note: the thing that looks like a big set of sleigh bells is actually called a Rocar. It is a brazilian instrument that is sometimes used in place of a shaker, as is can project much more in a marching setting.

[@andyo8878]

The guy in green is a judge. Probably specifically a percussion judge since he was following the battery. The on-field judges wear green on purpose to be less noticable (since the field is green lol).

[@weaponizedtrombone1793]

7:24 :*Marcher misses the getting back up the pose* Adam: "They're very together!" -------- no offense to The Academy btw so much love out to every drum corps member!! Love you guys!

Holy crap you actually did it

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I had to see what the fuss was about 😅😅😅

[@MichaelDy]

Adam Tan And yes Michael Tran's already aged out of drum corps, unfortunately

[@alexpearce1662]

The guy in the green is the percussion field judge. They’ve since done away with on the field judging because of the modern nature of props and it being a safety hazard for the judges. Now the judges stand at the sideline, and the drill writers typically put the battery more toward the front of the field so they can be seen and judged accordingly

[@chadtarver3301]

This was one of my favorite shows of 2016! So well done!

[@rudedog34]

DCI is the Elite college aged marching band competitions. They pull from high schools throughout the country to audition for positions. You should take the time to do a search on Bands of America (BOA) competitions. It is very similar to DCI except the band members are high school aged 14-18 year old students and the bands also incorporate wind instruments. There are 2 competitions that attract the most bands (in the 90 count ). The San Antonio Super Regional that is mostly bands from Texas which precludes the National Championship known as Grand Nationals that takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is amazing to see the choreography and books that these high school students put on the field.

[@averaackerson8195]

Those things in the Xylo can that sound kinda funny, like “5 second rule” and “aaaaaaad lib” are little timing shortcuts that they use to keep the counts and still have a little fun. The entire ensemble does it depending on the corps

“Prop guns” lol

So, I wasn't in drum corps, but I was in marching band in high school that marched corps style. I can tell you the guy in the green at 9:50 is a judge that's... well... judging (for lack of a better term) on their marching technique.

[@bernie9543]

If you want a show with really great and impressive brass and percussion, watch Carolina Crown’s 2019 show, Beneath The Surface. It personally stuck with me after watching it live and is one of my favorite shows, competing for #1 with Babylon. I recommend watching the finals multicam run, if you can’t find it, I can email it to you.

Even if scv 2014 didn’t win or even get top 3 it’s still an outstanding show and one to be remembered

Before 2019 they had field judges who would be on the field to judge you (kinda in the name right) that would be what the dude in green was doing for drum corpse bride, running for his dear life to try and keep up with the battery and not be hit by people around him (it’s pretty rare but also why they ultimately a big part of why they banned field judges)
