Who's Judging? with Mr. Fugett
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
BOA (Bands of America) is one of the band's main competitions throughout the season. Listen as judge Glenn Fugett talks about how and what they are judging as they watch the bands perform. Hear about some of the differences in judging for UIL and BOA for the high school level and even some about DCI. He shares his favorite programs throughout the years and really gets down to exactly when marching began becoming choreography within the band.
Find out when marching band officially started changing style.
It is also funny because the Cicadas were so loud when we started and seemed to hush when we hit record.
