**WITH VIDEO** Rhythm X 2009 GE Judge Tape Mike McIntosh

yup

[@CaptainKylan]

The best showed ever designed vs. a man who probably had dropped acid 8 hours ago when the show started and is just now coming out of it.

[@codyrutherford5488]

Do you want it? Do you want it? ...do you want it? God! God bless!

[@Kieran.percussion]

he knew he needed to put a christian spin on it before going too off the rails lol

[@MoustacheCloud]

"What the hell it's just a freakin' stick toss for pete sake."

[@MarimbarMe]

GOD BLESS.......CHRIST

[@phillychee21]

Best X show ever

[@phillychee21]

Agreed

[@prestonjones20013]

*best show ever*

[@Erebus5620]

The guy at the end really shows how much passion and love these performers pour into this sport. I have so much respect for them.

[@leaguemaskthaamumugod7552]

I know this video is forever old but thank you, thank you, thank you for making this happen. I know we were both there that night watching, understanding that Finals was merely a formality for this ensemble, that the result had already been written, that the following 8:30 were *everything*. The end of an era, and the beginning of a new one, for Rhythm X and for WGI. To hear Mac's words, there is no real adjudication, there is simply the understanding that this is the most big brain, big balls, for the people show that ever has been and may ever be. This is why we did it.

[@goo37]

God it's great to have Mike judge the local circuit in Missouri, And yes, all of his tapes are like this.

[@Michael5017mj]

I misss drumming love this show!!!!!

[@DagothUr69]

God damn, broken city may have broken the record in 2019, but man nothing tops this.

[@DDRsensation]

I love the reaction to that stick toss.

[@EastPennDrumline]

Hands down the best indoor show of all time!

[@danielscott4701]

What a beautiful prelude he gives us.

[@boriente]

This show affected me every time I saw it live. Still affects me over a decade later.

[@Sea_moore]

The moment they all come in, It seriously makes me tear up and gives me the chills. It takes something truly amazing to bring out the emotion like that does

[@Brandon-zh4uw]

Was that stick toss choreographed? Cause it kinda looks like it saved that snare's show after dropping his. Edit: Nevermind, I thought he threw it to the back but I clearly see he threw it to the tenor now.

[@dzuy12]

god bless......jesus!

[@prestonjones20013]

I love how after the opening hit, all he could do was laugh😂

[@Doomguy50]

that stick toss was fucking awesome

[@dfisk79]

Ha! "can't handle this...not gonna make it" That's the best part.

[@danielbutcher5836]

5:12 Mac predicts his own death before the end of this show. 8:21 it ALMOST happened. Had the show had not ended at that moment, we may very well have lost a valued member of the marching percussion community that day.

[@CaptainKylan]

Eric, I saw you and your group United Percussion this weekend in Union City, absolutely stellar work!

[@jdu1111]

"God. Bless. Christ."

[@zSlayer05]

Easily the greatest WGI show ever performed, PERIOD. I'm speechless.

[@Kieran.percussion]

Just realized this is Mike Mcintosh and not some random 30 year old man

[@skylergerald3546]

Omg that last cry got me

[@DDrumber12]

9:00 should tell you everything you need to know about a last performance for DCI or WGI.

[@viperboy306]

"God, I'm gonna pass out... I'm passin out!" Hella funny!!

[@BSBINC1]

i wish our judge was that hype lol

[@PlushChronicles]

i love his intro

[@kramerguitars204]

Wow Mac was REALLY into this show 😂😂😂

[@jasongallman2032]

I've watched this about 20 times....today

[@Scooped_Orange]

do you want it? 😏😏

[@xSimmsStudiosx]

RIP Mike McIntosh

[@hiruytirfe]

The turned of the tape as soon as the show was done...like damn lol

[@LegendaryPiper]

MANNNN IN THE ARENAAAAAAAAAA FTW

[@kietey14]

"I'm passing out"

[@nickniehaus1763]

Lmao it tickles me that I listened to this so many times on your channel and nowadays I know you’re channel

[@shep7544]

3:30 stick toss

[@xMerglynx]

I can neither confirm nor deny that. Just know that I really want to hear the judge's tapes from X this year.

[@rikuantu]

Never thought mike would be this funny. He has some funny comments in this video.

[@MightyMack03]

Why hasnt Bands of America hired this guy???

[@ConnorSmethers]

+Noah Carmichael He teaches schools that compete in BOA

[@sarahstamer4890]

He's the percussion caption head for the 2021 BOA Honor Band in the Rose Parade!

[@VesperoRealm]

he judged my band back in 2018 at a boa comp

[@RobCartwright]

@@ConnorSmethers I don't think that matters. He was on staff with Gateway for years and still judged championships. Edit: Just realized this comment was like 5 years ago.

[@Brian-rj1un]

He writes our books, he is our former percussion director back in the early 2000’s. He visits us every year in the fall before we head to Lucas oil

[@BYOScrosson]

do you want it ?

[@nbctheoffice]

Get out of here, Anthony. Haha.

[@moonstone667]

i like to believe he did actually pass out

[@SwimminWitDaFishies]

Mike McIntosh, huh?? Such a funny guy ... show us some apples, Mike! 🍎🍎🍎🍎

[@eugeneshealthproject]

The stick toss was really cool. The acoustics doesn't sound that good I wonder if it sounds better in person?

[@tim.noonan]

I was there. The acoustics are never great at UD Arena but the fact you’re hearing a tape recording where the recorder hangs in front of Macintosh’s mouth definitely doesn’t help.

[@Sea_moore]

Mikes comments make me laugh so much

[@shadownight6652]

Mike Mcntosh just came to my school I’m at cedar ridge

[@xMerglynx]

Yeah about that...

[@antoniokofoed7139]

Back when shows didn't need a million props on the floor.

[@coagreg]

"God bless Christ"

[@rikuantu]

You might want to see 2013's show. It out did this at them moment.

[@michaelresciniti1062]

The video description really sums it up

[@spencermar7307]

Who is here after seeing BD’s Instagram story?

[@rifle2563]

What was on it?

[@vidkid1067]

Yah what was in it

[@zSlayer05]

Many of us alike. If I'm not mistaken though, this year was the highest WGI score in history. I still love Touch, regardless.

[@cosmodrum1]

So... "and then I JIZZED IN MY PANTS" at 4:12?

[@zSlayer05]

Minnesota Brass Indoor. Look up their show :P

[@chris_amezquita]

I love how these guys judge PIW and don’t even really judge. They just enjoy themselves lol

[@rikuantu]

Dandelion?

[@richbrass12]

I think this dude was on Molly

[@Gerard_Rusch]

There wasn't any. He passed out.

[@brothaNblue]

At least in PIW. The highest score ever was Woodbridge.

[@SwimminWitDaFishies]

5:30 Some SCV plate line buzzy head chop action would have killed Mike McIntosh right here!!

[@SwimminWitDaFishies]

5:16 Is that Mike Bishop on the keyboards there? He marched Jersey Surf

[@Wheelsjr642]

That’s Matt Hahn, a show designer in the Dayton OH area

[@zSlayer05]

Man In The Arena was great.... Now how about Dandelion? :P

[@enemyofvirtue]

can someone gimme a hint as to why this show is so highly regarded? i genuinely don't know as i'm sorta new to trying to get this stuff, and would like to be educated a little.

[@SwimminWitDaFishies]

Props to the bald dude wearing the shades!! Impressed with his ability to see where he was going on that floor. The view must have been super dark!

[@mrpiklez3703]

He Blind

[@alexdemetrius8901]

MrPiklez is he actually

[@blaiseayala9131]

Where did u get this gem?

[@ELDLtenors]

.....its a little spooooky

[@jasperharmon7279]

4:17

[@ctomlin89]

Dude do you have any other tapes from other years of rx?

[@Porpan1967]

How to have the time of your life while watching a wgi show? 08:16 that guy in the background shows you how!

[@rikuantu]

Yeah of course Justin Lewis's stick toss would get him to do that...

[@zSlayer05]

Anything to do with the high ass score at Dayton this year? :P

[@Allison_Chaynes]

Uhhhhhhh, did they get a restraining order on the judge?

[@anthonytrivisonnojr]

3:37

[@thisonetimeatband22]

3:31 .

[@MarisolGuti3]

LOL

[@antoniokofoed7139]

lol he really didnt say much.

[@tigerjingles9734]

That is so stupid

[@willcochran5555]

Tiger Jingles what do you mean

[@igotthchop]

So glad I'm not the staff members who had to meet with this guy at critique. Sure it's GE, but the lack of substantive comments make for unacceptable adjudication, imo. 'god bless, thank you, jesus, do you want it...' Really? Awesome show & performance, but this 'judge' is a disservice to competitive marching percussion.

[@derekgross3571]

“This guy” is a highly regarded adjudicator, teacher, and musician. Chances are after the show he met with the staff and they all exchanged hugs and congratulations. This show was near perfect and his reactions would bring much happiness to the group members. I’m sure it was an honor to be able to perform this show for someone like Mike.

[@bradleyperry1103]

do you want it?
