Any great stories of judge killing, in parades or in field shows? Or even at festivals?
The best one I have is secondhand, but a mello had a 90 degree snap visual and took out a judge completely.

One of my friends ran over a field judge my freshman year.

Let's see...
We enclosed a judge during a parade. He was judging the drumline when we got to the part where the dl condenses and the band makes a circle around them, and he got stuck.

I dunno about judges, but I definitely nearly hit a camera guy tonight at the game.
He was all up on me, taking video and such, and I tossed a 45-angle toss and nearly took his head off.

when we were in florida one of the judges was looking at the trombones feet while they were at a halt, but right at that point they snaped down their instraments. Apperentally you could hear the "thunk" on the judges tape!! |

We don't hit too many judges, but we like to run over little kids. The fifth bass once completely ran over a kid because she couldn't see around the drum. The bass clarinet had to step on a kid's leg, and then had to halt there. She almost hit his head during the horn flare, but he managed to move his head in time.
We also try to hit directors, but they're always out of reach. The only way to get them is with a "bad" flag toss, but they're never up by the color guard.

Secondhand, but my section leader (last year) nailed a judge in the nuts by accident. xD

Oh goodness. I would love to run over some judges. They're waaaay too uptight around here.

I've never bowled down a judge before, but we've got a competitive parade this Saturday.
*rubs hands together* Muahaha!

They took all the fun out of judge bowling in my state (colorado) this year. Apparently what you're supposed to do this year is break the musical phrase say excuse me and continue on. But during our full run throughs, we have our field helpers out on the field and I've taken out on of them 3 times so far this year (he is always on my sets!)

^that's no fun. If a judge is in our way we run him/her over!! ;D . I almost got a chance to run over a judge this weekend at our competition but he moved just in time.

Yeah, last year there was a camera guy who followed me for about 3 sets every single pre-game we did. I never actually took him out, though, because he was surprisingly agile. |

Okay, so during the drum solo of our show, the wind section marches into two straight lines on opposite 40 yard lines. Then the two lines march toward each other at a 6 to 5, meet on the 50 and keep going out to opposite 45 yard lines.
Well, there was a judge standing right on the 50 yard line, seemingly oblivious to everything. We lined up on the 40s and as we ran toward each other, the judge suddenly realizes what is happening, jumps a million feet in the air, looks frantically left and right, realizes he's not going to make it out if he runs out the end of the two lines, sucks his stomach in real tight and dives between two people in one of the lines just in time to avoid being crushed. It was HILARIOUS.
