one comment that really stood out was this guy that sounded kinda old,and had a real low voice, but he couldnt stop talking about the trombones. it would be" the trombones arent in line" or "the trombones dont sound right" but wat was really funny was that on that same tape there was about 5 seconds of silence and then:
"TROMBOOOOOOOONES!!!!!" and the way he said it got us all craking. he started with a low tone and swept up to a higher tenor one.
EDIT: there was another i forgot where this woman was judging, visual i believe, and when our oboest stoped soloing in the begining to switch to baritone, she said "wow, oboe to baritone, thats impressive"

Hmmm... there's a lot... let me start with the funniest
1: Your male center snare sounds amazing! (Our center was female...)
2: The male baritone sounds great! ((The only baritone of the two playing was female also...))
And my favorite of all
3: Wow Piccolos! Amazing! I can actually hear you! (If you were to listen to the tapes... two piccolos... and the other didn't have most of her music memorized... and our third was missing, yet the sound never changed...)

we went to a festival called "the buckwheat festival". usually what happens is it's divided into three days of marching. my alma mater (Robert C Byrd High School) would march on day 1. we'd travel down to the host county which was about 2 or 3 hours away and then leave to go back for the football game that night against our arch rivals. well we also marched against them on that particular day. one of the judges said " RCB, very nice mini field show, but you need to step it up if you're going to beat Bridgeport this year." the other judges loved our whole march. So seeing as none of us had heard what he'd said we marched on. and by god we beat bridgeport that year! we also made grand champions of the whole festival! we showed that judge!
(btw...that mini field show...was just our band going from double time steps to half time steps. nothing fancy...but they called it a mini field show! lol)

In our last show, the judge made a comment stating that , " The flutes were too loud. " There were seven flutes in our band this year. One of which wasn't there. We all got a laugh out of that

In our show of 2007, we had one of our tuba players ride his unicycle on the 40yd line and play "Go Big Blue" and one of the judges said:
"OH my god! A tuba on a unicycle!....That's hot."

"Nice cowbell solo with the guitar accompaniment."
Um...definitely a guitar solo and a cowbell playing quarter notes. xD

I forget which competition it was for, but we were listening to one of the tapes from prelims. I think it was for music.
Before we play this short transition to our opener piece, there's a short drum solo thing. The drumline goes something like "DUT-DUT-DUT-DUT."
Anyways, the judge on tape had this really funny voice that sounded like the guy whose voice is used for previews on the movies. He heard that and was like: "OH NO. GET RID OF THE DUTS." We were rolling in laughter.
Also, on the same tape, something really weird happened by the time we got to the third song, which was our ballad. The tape recorder had a malfunction, so it kept slowing down and speeding up. rofl Ordiserria Nice cowbell solo with the guitar accompaniment." Um...definitely a guitar solo and a cowbell playing quarter notes. xD

Two years ago, we did a show where the drumline had to walk out of a bar set thing that was in the back of the field. "Wow. They're actually in step. Usually when people walk out of bars, they aren't in step."
