Ever spend an entire month perfecting a certain area, only to have a judge shoot you down in another area? o___-
I remember we practice very hard on our music at one point of time. We went to a contest and impressed the judges with our music but then the music judge commented that the trumpet section needed to learn how to march.

I quote: "Make sure that all the members are wearing the same shoes, and try not to wear white socks."
sweatdrop Yeah, I was wearing white socks with black shoes... sweatdrop

At a marching competition this year, we had to march facing directly into the sun. We couldn't see anything! Our judge was from WAY southern Virginia and had a really thick country accent.
Judge: "Oh, A'm surry about the sun bein' in you guys's eyes's."
Yes. You guys's eyes's.
Another judge later in the year: "Wow, your pants fit you all really well. You don't know how many whales I've seen stuffed into a midget's uniform."

Another judge once said, "You're shoes need to be whiter."
That was great, because the guys in band really tried to make them as white as possible before contest. x3

Yeah, we get the short end of the stick with the small band thing too. less than 50 band members. (not just winds, pit/drumline too)
two years ago we marched a show where the woodwinds switched to brass in the middle, it was pretty sweet. But the judges were apparently blind and nere noticed, except for one judge, who towards the end said "Wait a minute, you guys don't have any clarinets! That's weird..."

Last year was my senior year in high school band. We had 96 members all together. My director refuses to march pit because he strictly believes that marching band means 'marching' and marching only. We also had 4 guard/ majorettes to our 92 band members.
Our music was perfected.
Our drill was perfected.
And the only thing the judges could talk about was how we could have used pit at a specific point or how we didn't have enough 'girls'.
TOB is retarded.

there are three things I remember
1. Good job marching here percussion (our percussion was standing still at that moment)
2. Your Baritone Sax is way to loud (we don't march with Baritone Saxes)
3. YES! YES! YEEAAH! YEAAAH! (I think he was orgasming)

We were at area finals for marching band in 2005, and we worked hard on our visuals and marching to get it to par with our music skills, but we did not get to go to state because of a not-so-good run of our music in the preliminaries.
(I personally would like to blame our best trumpet player losing his tuning slide on the first horns up at the beginning of the prelims. D: )
