Welcome to Gaia! ::

Actually it is very true! If you walk around them, you get docked points! My Friend Was Marching Bass Clarinet one year and he was facing back field. the DM signaled an about face while a judge was kneeling next to the clarinet checking his feet with everyone else's. My friend warned him but he didn't move. The DM signaled the About Face and My friend Swiveled around and smacked the guy in the face with the bell of his bass Clarinet! OMG! How Funny.

But Yeah. They do have rules about it now. If someone is in your way you need to say something if you are not playing. A judge actually got his face cut up because a Cymbal player hit him without warning. If you don't warn them you can get in serious trouble. But don't stop playing if you are. If they can't hear an instrument line coming up behind them then its thier fault and they shouldn't be judging. Lol

Hope that helps

Same goes for cameramen. At a game there was one on the front side that clearly saw me coming toward him and almost got trampled. I hate cameramen for that reason. evil

Our whole drumline almost ran over a judge last year. We were in three circles that were closing in on each other, and he got stuck in the middle of the center circle. He had to wait until the second movement started to get out.

my BD says: if the judges get in your way, run 'em over! but not too hard because they score you. I want a high not low score because you ran them over.

haha yeah its true almost ran over somebody last week. his shoe got stuck or something and he couldn't move for a sec and i almost killed him hehe. our band directrs tell us to run over judges if they're in our way.

Yeah, that's what we're susposed to do.

I so wanna see that happen to a judge.

Him or her just standing right in your way.

You take them out.

>] Chyeah!

Bonus points!

oh man, I was at competition last year(since we didn't have it this year) and this flag player fell down and I had remembered, run 'em over if they're in ur way....too bad I tripped over her and me and my trombone ended up going to the med ward(or ambulance) poor poor trombone landed on her spikey-ish flag(wied a** show) I landed on it too. I had holes in my leg.......so remember make sure you know how to step over then(or murder them whichever you choose)
