What the heck. This beats my worse tape by far, this guy needs to never wear the adjudication title again.
Everything about his tape is just so darn…pretty!

Definitely gay:
“Your costumes are very pretty, but I hate calling them costumes.”
“Tubas are you with it?! Three TALL tubas, oh boy!”
“Your uniforms are very pretty out there.”
“What a husky sound! My. My. My. Mmmmmmmm.”
“Pretty flags up there…gahh-leee..mmm..”
The “wild chart” is T.O. … in case he “missed the name of it”
Comment by Daddyboylee — August 7, 2009
Too funny…
Sounds like a pretty band to me with at least three tall tubas. Well, the band looks like they could be a college band. Goodness Gracious… He reminds me of a person who has hit the sauce too many times. Pretty flags…
Judging is only a side job for him. His regular job is a professor of speach and language don’t ya think?
HaHahAhAHaHa

“wild chart”… how can he not know Wayne Downey’s Blue Devil arrangement of “Free”? Is this seriously the first time he is hearing it? Talk about being lost.
Comment by Real_Ajudicator — September 29, 2009
I will admit, this a pretty bad tape, but those who think they can always do better need to try judging 5 or more bands in a row and making everything sound good. For true excitement try 43 bands in one day.

Comment by kari — November 23, 2009
I can’t imagine what the judges meeting was like with this guy.
Comment by Frankie — November 26, 2009
I just want to stress to EVERY SINGLE person reading this, that I am a judge, and who ever this guy is, HE IS NOT a trained professional. Unfortunately most judges organizations are volunteer and I’m sure this guy was brought in because they had to fill the panel. I can say without a doubt that this is the worst judge’s tape I’ve ever heard, I can’t even glean what caption he’s supposed to be judging, I THINK he’s judging music, but whether it’s general effect, ensemble, I couldn’t even begin to tell you.
The feedback he gives are comments that my grandmother could be making, they are absolutely the most superficial, vague comments I’ve ever heard an adjudicator make. He’s trying very hard to be positive which is good, but he paints a false picture during the show that this band is doing well (as evidenced by the audio, they probably need some help) but then his wrap-up is almost all constructive and negative. I am going to give this tape to my judging association as a CLEAR definition of what a tape should NEVER sound like. Thanks to whomever posted this!

wow, i wonder how they got bruce from family guy.
Comment by jt — December 22, 2009
This unfortunate individual was in over his head as he was a last minute replacement according to the director of the band being judged. It really did happen. I have heard the original tape and it has become sort of a cult classic in some band or drum corps circles. I would suggest that everyone be “veerry curful” with the use of it. He might show up at one of your “reHERsals”.
Comment by Royce — January 1, 2010
How is this guy qualified to be a judge, really?!?! Bahahaha. Idiot. Oh my goodness gracious….
and, and, and… that was great :/

effing classic
Comment by Nate — April 2, 2010
The readily available review phrases are useful to performance evaluators louis vuitton online store usually managers and or business owners who may not have the necessary skills and training in drafting the performance appraisal or review document.
So here’s the thing ladies and gentlemen. You may criticize this judge if you like. The reality is HIS marching band was 300+ members. He had an average of 15-20 TEXAS All-State Band members each year, and he never earned less that a SUPERIOR rating with his band – marching – concert – or sightreading. – check the records…
I would lay odds that his bands were better than ANY OF YOURS!
Comment by Dusty — July 10, 2010
He may have had a great band, 30 years ago. Times have changed and he should not be judging anymore if this is the way he’s going to be. If you want to have him there and carry a tape recorder and feel important, fine. But his scores shouldn’t count. I’ve played in a community band with an old guy as the director. He was very successful in his day, but now his ears are failing and his brain is fading. Seems like this guy is on the same track. At some point, it’s time to quit. He’s past that time.
Comment by Jamie — August 9, 2010
I have no doubt he could have been/was a great director, with a huge band and multiple superior ratings. *HOWEVER* a good director does not a good adjudicator make.
Constructive and SPECIFIC comments are what is needed in judge commentaries in order to make them productive, helpful and in the end, worth the director’s time and effort to listen to.
Instead of “pretty flags” comments on the continuity (or lack of it) in coloring, graphic (or soft) design elements, size, etc. would have been more helpful. Or instead of “the percussion is lod alot of the time” mentioning it IN the moment he noticed it….I don’t think anyone is saying he’s not a good director. Just not a very good judge.
Comment by Julie — August 16, 2010
keep in m-mind that people are watching you right so be real, CAREFUL…bout how you stand…..that’s a beautiful blue…lol i’ve heard some weird tapes but this takes em all… and the snares at the beginning sound very dirty by the way.. lol
He taught at monterrey hs in lubbock. Actually was a great band director. I guess he got a little old.

This guy sounds like he had some amazing weed about 10 minutes before he did this. Wish he was a percussion judge, though.
Comment by cBuilding — October 2, 2010
He now works as a court bailiff in Lubbock. If you break the law in Lubbock, they make you spend 30 days in the county jail, listening to his tapes.
Comment by king leonides — October 5, 2010
Supposedly, he made a tape for Carolina Crown back in ‘07. Has anyone heard it?
Comment by E — October 14, 2010
in fairness to a few posters I’m sure he was a great director but he is not a good judge. secondly I would love to know how many other tapes of him are out there. this was obviously a competiton with several groups. I wonder if any other person keep his recordings from that day. it would be really hilarious to hear some more.
Comment by rp — October 19, 2010
p.s. to “e” several groups have used clips of his recordings and put it to their show as an inside joke. however he has never judge a world class competition, and hopefully never will.
Comment by rp — October 19, 2010
“Boy you play….MY GOD…what a Husky sound…my my my my my my uuummm”

“wow this is a tall band or something…” ????
you look like you just eat it up…WHAT???
What was he judgeing???
Is this guy drunk???
“the percussion seemed really loud alot of the time” NO WAY!!! XD
Comment by ClarinetCrazy17 — October 21, 2010
many people have asked what he is judging. to the best of my abilities I have determined he is judging GE. although in most circuits there would be a percussion GE and a field (or color guard) GE judge. but even if it was GE you should only mention colors once or twice and actually say how it adds to the show, plus the fact that “they are a tall band” should never be mention in a GE tape. finally (although people feel differently about this) you should always say you, never we or us, cause the person judging is not in the band. anyway it’s still a horrible tape, and 98% of judges are WAY better than this.
Comment by rp — October 22, 2010

Obviously he’s never heard the Blue Devils play Free.
This guy is on fire – he’s “FLAMMING!”
What a back handed slap. “Boy that’s not bad.” How about, “That’s pretty good.”
Push it, push it, push it real good.
Is he supposed to be judging visual, brass, drums, the tuba players physique?
“Tell you what, you look like you just eat it up!” OMG!!
What a HUSKY sound!!!!
Wow.
I feel soooooo much better about some of the crappy tapes I’ve received over the years.
Nothing quite like this.
I love this guy. I wish he judged my shows. I want a husky sound by a guy who has a lisp and loses his pens all night (or day).
@el snoid – I believe it’s a “HUTHKY thound”
What the heck. This beats my worse tape by far, this guy needs to never wear the adjudication title again.
Everything about his tape is just so darn…pretty!
losing pencils like gangbusters, costume deals, and of course filling holes ALWAYS makes it better!!! I don’t know what everyone was upset about, this was the best tape EVER!!!!
my my my my my my my……MMMMMMMMMmmmmm!!
Is this REAL???!!! Did this really happen???
“Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness!”
That flute thcared me! Is there some kind of music thingy going on today? My, my, my those flags are pretty! Ooooh! Look at the thequins on those cothtumes! Has anyone seen my pencil? What was I saying? Oh yeah, my name. Did I say my name yet? Oh, those glorious flags!
