Mandarins Judge Stick Toss - 2009

[rog92er]

the is one super cool judge!!

[SuesSuper]

look at the horn at 0:19 lol

[NHDrummer2012]

i was on bass my 8th grade yeaar and a judge did that for me

[Joebro024]

Lol thats funny it reminded me of this one time when my marching band was at competition and a judge picked up this girls trombone slide which she accidentally pushed out too far.

[soulsistah102]

lmao this makes me laugh

[TheIceTitan]

That's the coolest fucking thing to see! A judge toss the stick back to a player!

[drewdrummer7]

things would get mad awkward if that stick was dropped again

[sirflamalot]

Give that man a beer!

[jefripayne102895]

I wish the judge would have helped my friend when his shako fell off during finals in 1987 (Star of Indiana). They just played the last note of the opener. On the "horns down", his shako tumbled off. He was about 6 steps behind the front sideline around the 40 yard-line on side 1. The judge picked it up, looked at my friend, then placed on the front side-line. That would have sucked marching finals with no shako!

[mbmaccin555555]

Would of been funny if he didn't catch it, lmao.

[AsianLaxBro]

haha dot

[herecomestheoh]

was the first song umm tango? or Dance Dance Dance? We played it for our marching show?

[saidincontent]

@OriginalMattyMatt

No shut the hell up. The centers brother is MY section leader and that's MY tech.

[drummer396]

This is fucking terrible

[percussiontech1]

Anybody notice the guys hat makes a frowny face at :23? :( even the hat knew they were having a bad show

[IIIIAnthonyIIII]

@percussiontech1 how did you even catch that?

[OriginalMattyMatt]

i know the center snare. his brother is our center. and i know another snare that was on this line too. she's our tech :P

[dancindrumsticks08]

CENTER SNARE DROPPING A STICK!!!!!!! 

[Trombean]

There are so many things about this 26 second video that make me crack up. I especially like how the music fits perfectly with all the shenanigans going on.

[Phantom663]

a member of teal sound lost his shoe at their show in milton.... the judge was like "cool a shoe" and took it >.>

[Trapmaker677]

this needs to be in drumfunny

[TricoreSonata09]

This video is a fail

[Jericho1023]

@skaterplayer2 Yeah judges do it to be nice, they'll do that in DCI or even highschool competitions.

[camocommando5]

that was nice of him lol



[claytonjesse]

yea ive marched with them and they pick up fallen mouth pieces, sticks, broken cymbals, gard stuff...theyre pretty chill

[jman3ification]

is this open class?

[ballaryry]

@jman3ification no this is world class... the sacramento mandarins

[ddancer95]

haha omg thats pretty cool for the judge to do that but did anyone see that horn player in the back eat the grass?? lol its at :17

[Phantom663]

i remember watching a teal sound member lose there shoe, and the judge picking it up and throwing it off field :D

[tjw889]

@Phantom663 unlike a stick or mouthpiece... you sadly can't put your shoe back on while marching >.<

[PensFanE17]

I lost my third valve slide once and a judge came over and gave it back to me. I was extremely lucky because I had a small solo later in the show, it would have been a complete disaster.

[tyj0322]

it's like you knew that it was going to happen

[crazyman82096]

LMFAO, ive seen a bd tenor player do that

[Excapted]

I found a more funnier thing in this video...

[jdducut83]

hahaha dci on field judges are hardcore man. its fun to see them dodge sometimes when its close!!! hahaha

[lootyx]

look at dudes hat at the end it looks like a sad frown!

[chonty123]

wich one better?

mandarins or pacific crest?

please reply

[SilverRegiment08]

@chonty123 Redline. lol

[masamix62]

GJ!

[biscuitsngravy9]

No, but the first cable slide was dented.

[biscuitsngravy9]

@biscuitsngravy9 i ment first valve slide. iPod typo.

[RCOmusicMAN]

THATS SO COOL! GOOD JUDGE!

[Samwerd2]

oh man. Two fails in one video.

[tylershibata]

also note the horn player in the back hahaha

[somesnaredude]

wow guess they were having an off night lol

[funkreiter]

that was a hell of a recovery from the fall

[5Fan5]

@funkreiter he started to go and was bent out and fell over

[Sanction45]

I was at this show and saw the stick toss, did not see the trumpet eat it though

[WhoDatNationStation]

man tht guys is sick at visuals, he nailed it!

[bandgeekboy1]

Best visual ever.

[skaterplayer2]

is that even legal for the judge to do that??

[DrumCorpsTube]

Yep. Judges often do that, at least in DCI.

[xBiGTxLPZx]

wow. i didn't know they could do that. funny all u see is a stick hit the ground when everything stops

[paradiddlepedro]

@DrumCorpsTube they did it at our high school show lol dang tenors... George.. hahahaha but ya

[Typet360]

@DrumCorpsTube Most judges are cool. I saw a tuba player lose his shoe, and the judge gave it to a parent on the sideline.

[biscuitsngravy9]

@Typet360 dude, a guard girl kicked my trumpet out of my hand in the first movement of a show, and the guard said they heard the judge say "Who's the idiot who left their trumpet on the field?"

[Typet360]

@biscuitsngravy9 Okay that's just ridiculous. Did your trumpet died? :(

[shooster11]

@skaterplayer2 - Yes, it is quite legal for the judge to do that because if the person who dropped it picks up the stick, that is a penalty.

[shooster11]

@skaterplayer2 - In fact, I dropped a stick while marching with my high school band and picked it up as smoothly as possible and the judge in the box said on the critique tape: "Nice way to pick up your stick drummer." I was told to leave it there if it happened again.

[InfernoZX5]

@shooster11 how'd you pull it off?

[richspanky72]

@skaterplayer2 When I marched in drum corps, I was surprised by how much interaction there was with the judges. Most high school circuits have taken the judges off the field. In DCI, the drills move so fast that you have to communicate with the judges. There were a couple of times that I had to tell a judge to watch out and I can even remember members picking up debris that had blown onto the field and handing it to a judge during the show.

[DavidVideos180]

@richspanky72 thats cause your a pussy

[peepers12]

Nice recovery. Wow I missed both those accidents when i was watching it live

[xoMicky]

Sooo funny

[deanskis]

haha stick drop and fall! go MANDERCHINS!

[ldsosa]

Damn that's awesome. I heard about it but didn't get to see it. I was marching next to the guy who fell ;-)

[cartyuiop]

Lol I didn't notice the horn player fall the first time, I laughed out loud when I went back to watch

[AllStater09]

What a nice cool judge

[justabackup]

yeah it does look like part of the show lol

[Crueltool8]

i love it....it just looks like part of the show

[rayrayok92]

Haha I remember seeing this, soooo sick.

[mazdaspeed567]

lol anyone notice the horn player eating shit in the back around. :18

[drumforock]

That was funnier than the snare player dropping his stick

[s3si1u]

HAHA! that took me a couple times til i saw it

[tenorplaya10]

thast hella funny. i literally laughed out loud

[AllStater09]

lmfao... porr guy all he wanted to do was make it to his spot

[vananhplayssnare]

@AllStater09 I'm pretty sure it was a she

[RayezProductions]

i did  haha

[jboodro420]

@mazdaspeed567 haha.

[CommancheDoyle]

@mazdaspeed567 hahahah! I like how u phrased that..eat shit haha

[mthsbandrocks]

@mazdaspeed567 PHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD.

[MrsPattyFlaFla]

@mazdaspeed567 haha OMG That was so funny eat shit I didn't notice til I saw this epic comment

[boarthefighter]

@mazdaspeed567 rofl, thanks for pointing that out

[globeubf4]

@mazdaspeed567 llmmmfffaaaooo.!

[lilmiztuln]

life FAIL.

[woahtherepandabear]

Dude that judge is so nice! Most of the time they just kick it off the field. =/

[DrumCorpsTube]

Haha. What show was this?

[lolz989]

@Promark25

omg that judge is mean.

lol. what he got against basses?

[MadCoSnareLine]

@Promark25

Oh dear Lord. Who is this? This is Peaches.

[itisjustmax]

That's pretty sick, if anyone reads this tell rob i said hi

[ReallyBored0112]

if i remember correctly they said the judge put the stick in his back pocket and didnt give it back.

[Chriscade09]

at one of my shows the percussion judge picked up a snares stick and started commenting on the shotzone that was etched into it. then he gave it back after he was done "judging:" the stick. lol

Scades tenor 09

[jonboo]

i believe that was in dallas. and i think it was a rute....but ya a judge jacked jackies stick...haha

[BroadwayBound83]

Love me some Mandarins snares;o)

[surge1586]

almost all DCI judges will be really kind enough to pick the stick up & give it back, but make sure you say "Thank you!" or chances are that they won't bother returning the stick back!

[bhkidd]

If I am not mistaken, that was a wet field too! When the field is wet, you see all kinds of falls. Like in Jackson, MS in 1994. Everybody had at least one fall.

[musicguy3172]

naw i marched on that field that day it wasn't wet

[DrumCorpsTube]

it wasn't wet but it didn't have the greatest grip either. from what i remember it was pretty slick. and the turf is really short.

[musicguy3172]

yea i know what ya mean, and i thought that was turf too as i was walking on the field but its just amazing grass haha

[LegendofJ]

This is really fucking awesome.

[eggsown908]

that was a pretty awesome drumbreak at first even tho he dropped his stick.i cant say i havent done the same though lol

[dasoupapwnagemasta]

hmm.

the plume...

the stick landing on his foot...

i wonder which one is jon boo...

[ElPolloLoco4330]

damn. thats the nicest judge i've ever seen :)

[TheToshiba23]

totally saw this in person, the stick toss was really impressive. Never saw that guy eat it though. lol

Blue Knights had a guy eat it too, at this show and at finals.

[DrumCorpsTube]

oh really? I was in the tunnel trying to watch BK that night, that sucks.

[TheToshiba23]

yeah, the BK guy ate it pretty hard, beginning of the show too.

[DrumCorpsTube]

oh with all the jazz running? I feel bad for that guy, it's probably gonna be on camera too.

PS: By tunnel I meant the entrance to the stands, not the entrance to the field.

[benjiontenors]

man, our hornline had it so rough with that opening drill. It was all jazz running, someone fell almost daily. During finals week, a tuba inverted his bell during a run-though cause he fell in the opening sets.

BK xylo 09

[1Arch1]

Blue Devils also had someone fall too. Stanford was an awesome first DCI show for me xD

[thsma2009]

ya think the judge got in trouble for interfering?

[charliegfrenz]

OMG I never noticed that guy eat face at 0:18 , that's a pretty hard fall for DCI

[hawvichorst2]

thats actually a pretty normal fall for DCI

[LordOfThePracticePad]

lol at 0:18, someone missed a direction change

at least he catches back up, but god thats embarassing

[peterCheater]

I'd understand if that guy was trying to loosen up his hands for a stacato stop the stikc and piano ._.

[qwikstix3]

thats the guy guiding his line to the dude catchin his stick

[jadebrew]

It looked like he slipped to me.

[LordOfThePracticePad]

naw he planted his foot wrong (o wait thats a slip, thanx for pointing out my brain fart)

[jonboo]

definitely thought the stick was a plum and freaked out for a second

[jonboo]

the stick landed on my foot. bad recovery.

[DrumCorpsTube]

Has Carson seen this video?

[DrumCorpsTube]

I heard somebody tell me about the judge tape and about how he was panting while this was going on, and said YES a few times haha.

[TerranRepublic]

The judge really distracts from the one guy who fell down. lol

[mimamalol9]

just one of those days huh?

[hotgary]

:/ that sux

[snarerator]

that fall is on a hard transition. hate to see something like that happen.

props to the helpful judge

[shadow331099]

Is against rules for judges to pick up sticks for marchers or am i wrong

[DrumCorpsTube]

No. Judges almost always pick it up and give it to one of the drummers, either by putting it in the pouch at a halt, or by handing it to the drummer. But throwing it to the drummer is something I've never seen!

[shadow331099]

oh ok. bcuz this is new to me but thats probly bcuz i never watch mandarins or any other semi talented corp.

[DrumCorpsTube]

I've seen quite a few drops by some of the upper corps too. There's some videos out there

[shadow331099]

oh ok.. oh god the guy falling is hillarious idk y but 2day it seems funny. probly bcuz of the music theyre playing

[leemcd56]

Seems appropriate for him to fall to doesn't it? haha I wouldn't have noticed had you not pointed that out

[snarerator]

ive seen it happen to bd, cavies, CC. any corps you can name, theres drops

[eternalgracenote]

Coming from a guy who uploads footage of himself playing shitty MMORPG games and half-assed bando drill. ACES!

[shadow331099]

why are you talking shit.I uploaded those a year ago around the time i quit playing them and as for drill dont even if you didnt know i have a job writing drill. for northern schools

[eternalgracenote]

Their investment is showboating second-hand drill from other programs that are not theirs. I think you're lying, champ.

[shadow331099]

If your talking about MML your fucking stupid.

MML is a game where you write drill for fun if you didnt know.

When im writing for a school i use pyware. when im writing for check ups with Arjuna i use field artist. so wtf are you talking about

[willbatzel]

theyre talkin shit cuz ur a dick. and here u are trying to defend urself by telling them ur a great drill designer cuz u use 3 different apps to write it. ur a nerd that prolly has never marched other than a high school band. cuz anyone else in the activity would have some class. no need to reply back. just know that ur a dick and u dont know shit. and write some more drill cuz u need to work on it.

[shadow331099]

no point in arguin g over something like this. you dont know me nor do i kn ow you so i cant make statements i have no idea about. as far as your comment on places ive marched your wrong I march DCA

[benjiontenors]

I played xylophone in BK pit this summer, and at the Dallas show, my mallet head flew off behind me during a run in the opener and hit a judge in the head standing behind me. It was awesome. lol

[rotflolmaomgtfo]

haha they had a badshow =/

[irishknightt]

hahahaha

within the 28 seconds not only does the guy drop his drumstick, but another guy slips and falls

hahahaha

[whitfkl318nu]

Dang-Guumm! That judge feller look like he knowd dat was gonna happen! He was right dere like, Kabloom! Boy, I mean! And that kettle player? Shhooot! A Texas frawg can't evem cetch flies that good! Dang-Guumm! That was better 'n watchin Elly-Mae thow them beanbags and that dung-tank feller down nere at the Farmer's Market ever week.

[rdb83]

nice catch carson =)

[cck92]

a guy falls at :19 watch

[standbackguy]

omg lol that's hilarious

[ich2amt]

ok...that was awesome

[tpiro27]

Haha you gotta love our instructors Vanden

[bictaa]

the best drum vis i've seen lol

[JDeazy]

Carson you hooker!!!! lol

[Crackurjack]

Did you see that guy fall over at 0:19? Man, that sucks.

[shaneloveshisdrums]

he recovers pretty good.

[Crackurjack]

true, true.

[Dragon150043]

Thats pretty sick! lol

[pantherbandroxursox]

wow...thats cool..but sad at the same time

[christiansmithalone]

I was at DCI at Murfreesboro and a Boston Crusador snare droped his sticks but the judge just picked em up and put em in his back pocket..prolly cuz it wasnt his primary sticks

[quijeros]

Mandarins' show excites me this year. I'm hoping they can squeak into semis.

[TheBrownieResistance]

Looks like they're very close to doing it.

[RayezProductions]

i was there but i missed that !... thats hillarios

[DJCatura]

Judges rock

[AKzosorocker]

Same thing happened to Troopers last night at DCI Dallas, snare on the right end dropped his stick but one of the judges handed it to him.

[ballaryry]

respects to the judge, and i marched last season and i can tell you that that is some slippery ass grass haha... i biffed it last year at the stanford show.

[RogueCorps]

Oh no! :19 seconds looks like a Mandarins broomball night! Goodluck you guys!

-R Alumni '91

[cparker93]

lmao

mad props to that judge, Carson not so much lol

[HNIC94]

props to the judge, that's some effort to get in there!... and a nice toss, too! that biff at 0:19 is pretty gruesome. .. ouch! wet grass sucks!

[panthophobic]

aww carson!

[BergerKing064]

I saw that in person.

I was laughing for ten minutes.

[aznick114]

someone in the back ate it at :19

[DrumCorpsTube]

There were quite a few falls that night. The grass was a bit slippery.

[dtingleff]

from this clip alone, it looks like we're all over the place from carson's stick flying away to me falling in the background. but actually a good performance overall. pretty funny clip.

[JonJon1259]

epic recovery
