I sat in the sky box next to him while he made this recording....and watched him and watched Crown. I saw this first hand and felt that passion he had. He WILL be missed.
Sorry for your personal loss. May his memory be a blessing. I admire his work here and I can only imagine the impact of his profound loss to the professional community. I come back to this audio when I’m seeking reminders on how to provide meaningful feedback to students. This is an outlier due to the masterful execution, but it is a great look at how to provide constructive feedback to even the best performers.
Rest In Peace to Joe Allison, a man who truly loved this activity with all of his being. Some great quotable nuggets from this tape: “I almost said the F word, GOD that’s impressive...F for phenomenal, right?” “If you can connect like that for the rest of this, it’ll be a picnic on a sunny day.” “When you’re playing this game, every ounce is a pound.” And my favorite: “Someday, I’ll tell you why this touches me so much...and 99.9% of it is you, of course.” Thank you for all your contributions to this activity Joe!
@@cadii1119 So, was he possibly recently diagnosed with cancer when he was see this show? I ask because he made the comment about someday I will tell you all why this touches me so much.
@@kjjones641this might not answer your question but sometimes certain things in life, in this case music, touches you so deeply that in the moment you can’t describe it. It’s just not possible. Hence the “You know?” comments . I like to think that in the moment, he just was so lost for words that that sentence sufficed. Either that or he was reminded of something so personal it was not going to be said on the tape.
I was about to post the same thing. I still remember what he wrote in my yearbook. “Take this drum and beat it”. He was a great director and an awesome person.
This brought tears to my eyes hearing how moved Joe was, this is extremely touching to hear as a alumni of that year. Rest In Peace Joe, you will always be in our mind as we go to Carolina.
Nine years later, I still get the same chills as the first time I heard this. I’m at a loss for words right here. Like that moment when he stopped speaking because he literally couldn’t. I’m so lucky to have experienced this feeling. He said, “you know”. Yes. I know. Thank you 😊
This was my HS band director who guided my love for music. He was demanding, but inspirational. He conducted music the way I wanted to play. He empowered his players to be better than they thought they could be.
RIP Joe Allison. Just a good, quirky dude who loved music and loved this activity. I had the honor to know him as an adjudicator in DCI and then to stay in touch over the years on professional and social media platforms. He will be missed.
Never have I enjoyed a DCI video more than this one. It makes me happy as the judge that reviewed and commented on the performance of a lifetime. Joe Allison.....I raise my glass to a life well lived.
@@nickniehaus17632000s Cavies is God tier, they were absolutely throwing down back then and the scores definitely showed. Crown 2013 is my favorite show of all time but I have a sweet spot for DCI in the 2000s
It was Joe and the late Ed Warren that mentored me in getting my Visual Judge certification through Drum Corps Midwest in 2002 - a certification I was bestowed on me by Ed himself after trial judging through the Midwest over about a 3 week stretch, but never really used afterward. To be taught by both of these men was truly an incredible honor, and it is an understatement in saying that they will both be missed. I’ve watched this judge tape by Joe at least 5x, and it tears me up, every time. RIP Joe and Ed.
Such a touching tape. He was truly touched by this show and just could not hold back his emotions. Thank You for sharing. He made me cry listening to this. Thank you for sharing. RIP
Well here I am sitting at work tearing up now. if only 14 year old me could have really understood what this show means and the impact it would have on my life, my career as a musician, and my life overall. thank you DCI for sharing this.
This video explains everything to the unfamiliar. Epic. Edited to say that I’ve watched this more times than I can count. This man embodied how powerful this art is; there are no age limits to its effect.
I'm glad to see I was far from the only man commenting here through watery eyes. For me personally, I wish this fine gentleman was judging when I marched, he so eloquently validated the hard work each member puts into their show and performance of it. I so wish I had the chance to meet Dr. Allison, what a genuine human who loved what we do....in essence, Joe Allison "got it". Thank you and may you sleep in eternal peace Sir.
Thank you for taking the time to edit the subtitles. Also, thank you for including the HD Multicam. Really brings together the judges tape. I'd love to see/hear more of this type of content!
I love bawling to this show too….every time! Was excited to finally see this judge’s video posted since it’s been a while now. Loved Joe’s comments throughout. Wanted to meet this guy some day….but of course after reading the comments, this is not possible. RIP Joe! Maybe Joe’s bawling because maybe he had a dad named “John” who sat on a hospital bench in a sunny courtyard with his cancer-stricken bride of 50 years and held her hand as she tried to live one more day. (Miss you Mom). This is why this show brings tears. It’s so real.
The biggest fans and cheerleaders have always been the judges. This is so beautiful to hear. Thank you Joe Allison for such a beautiful, everlasting memory of your love for activity!
This invoked a profound spiritual effect on him and quite frankly on me and others listening. He was in a state of nirvana. “You know” was very much a description of something that was indescribable. I am glad I came across this (and am blessed to be a crown alum)
Absolutely one of the greatest shows of all time. It's touching to hear his commentary and how present he was in the moment - just to fully grasp what he was seeing and hearing.
DCI… Thank you for sharing this ! Dr. Joe Allison‘s contributions to “all things music” are exemplary. A learned and genuine human being. I was privileged to know him at Eastern Kentucky University and First Presbyterian Church. Joe earned and wears many stars on his Heavenly Crown. ✝️✨⭐️🌟😇
Rest in Peace Joe It takes so many pieces to bring us this activity that we all love and look forward too each and every summer Joe was a major piece You are deeply missed my friend MuchLove🙏🙏
My dad judged in prelims that year. It may have been brass, but I'm not sure. It was awesome seeing his face on a movie theater screen. I think his neighbor (and Cavaliers alum) got even more excited than I did. There was a shot of him writing on a judging sheet and it was the most serious I'd ever seen him.
Good Lord. To me and my taste (and admittedly I’m a Crown brass addict) this show was damn near perfect. Saw it at Finals and have watched it many times since. Just unreal.
RIP Dr Allison. Drum corps shouldn't be about hitting the judging marks. It's about emotion, the love for the activity and the connection with fans. Crown connects.
I first saw this show in Fresno and had no idea what we were about to witness and it was stunning. I knew from that moment that it would be one of the all-time greats. Just amazing.
This is one of another zillions reasons that this activity is so brilliant and how it touches lifes of everyone involved. The emotional impact of this show, with this AAAAAmazing hornline is something unique. Thank you for sharing it.
Wonderful to see someone attempt to put into words how I feel every single time I see this performance, because I fail every time (and see him fail a few times as well for all the right reasons). Hands down my favorite.
Love this show...one of my all-time favs. and love hearing judge tapes. Glad this was posted. (and was music...lots more percussion judge tapes out there, which are great, but like hearing other captions as well!). just wish they'd get finals out of a dome...sound is so muddy (especially percussion). their final audio recordings are cleaned up, but it's bad in person. I've been to only 2 finals in Indy and it's my least favorite place to listen to a show -- so much more clarity of sound when the venue is outside... without the bounce. (I go to Rose Bowl each year...can hear so much better).
I can only guess that in his pending departure, he was thankful for his own journey (the .1%). I think it was the highest compliment an adult could give young adults.
What an incredible show. I was so excited to find this video with the judges real time responses. I was so moved. Crown came on the scene strong and just keeps getting better. What a performance! 💕
When he says that’s the most effective suspension. He takes the words right out my mouth. Cuz it’s at that part I always tear up. It centers the viewers attention to the couple not only in the music but the movement of the corps. Whew
Saw this prelim show in the theatre and cried a little at the beginning, more in the middle, and bawled from the Love Story until the end. My friend came with me and cried right alongside. So yeah. I get it. Musicianship and tonal structure at that level is seldom experienced in one's lifetime. To be a judge for it? Yeah. That man held nothing back and we are all better for it.
There is one thing that would be more astounding to hear than this judge's tape: Getting to hear this show LIVE at the 50, about halfway up. Only those who heard this performance in the best possible zone of the stadium will know what Joe heard. I'm so sorry I missed this in 2013. The brass sound phenomenal.
Never heard a tape where the judge comments on the crowd. I love Joe Allison. He gave us such wonderful advice and critiques when I was marching at carmel 2012-2015 seasons.
Congrats one your 2012 Grand national title! What a web we weave was one of my favorites, I’ve marched 2021 and 2022 at Grand nats and had similar experiences as you guys did! The marching arts is amazing
My high school band played their balled last year and we made state so we had to have been doing something right also Linda Harvey was a band director at my middle school lol
My twin brother and I were so lucky to see this in fresno😊and understand why the judge felt the way he did at the end. The sound alone was just on another level compared to other bests of the bests. The experience was almost transcendental😂😂😂
Hands down nothing comes close to this show. I watch it at least once a week. My love for the crown came from this very show. I had no idea until I heard this. If this is what heaven sounds like I cannot wait to welcomed by these horns. Thank you god for blessing this group with a sound as powerful as this.
Anyone know if the judge had a personal stake in the group? His commentary sounded incredibly personal and as if he was addressing an individual, especially with the “someday I’ll tell you” or whatever the exact words were
Judges happen to see the same group multiple times between years or sometimes the same season. I think he’s seen their growth as a program between years or that year alone and loved their progress and achievements
I sat in the sky box next to him while he made this recording....and watched him and watched Crown. I saw this first hand and felt that passion he had. He WILL be missed.
Fly high 🙏🙏🙏

Making the GE Judge cry is about as honorable of an achievement as any.
The fact that he was crying during the ballad…. I lost it!

"It's really hard to talk, when you're bawling like a baby"
Rest In Peace to Joe Allison, a man who truly loved this activity with all of his being. Some great quotable nuggets from this tape:

How did he die?
@@kimmik2685 A long bout with cancer I believe
@@cadii1119 So, was he possibly recently diagnosed with cancer when he was see this show? I ask because he made the comment about someday I will tell you all why this touches me so much.
gotta include "you make the impossible relevant"

My first band director. 7th grade. Hamlet, NC
The accent sounded familiar! Love NC!
I think he was from KY but worked in the Carolinas for a number of years.
I was about to post the same thing. I still remember what he wrote in my yearbook. “Take this drum and beat it”. He was a great director and an awesome person.
He was my band director too, back in 1989! Great to hear his voice again.
@@Powwows Blows my mind to think it was this far back but it would have been 1978 for me. We may have been his first school.
This brought tears to my eyes hearing how moved Joe was, this is extremely touching to hear as a alumni of that year.
Rest In Peace Joe, you will always be in our mind as we go to Carolina.
Wait, what? He died? No! Why didn’t I hear? No words. Just. ❤️
What instrument did you play? It must feel indescribably good to have been a part of this show. I couldn't imagine how much work you put in.
Nine years later, I still get the same chills as the first time I heard this. I’m at a loss for words right here. Like that moment when he stopped speaking because he literally couldn’t. I’m so lucky to have experienced this feeling.
He said, “you know”. Yes. I know. Thank you 😊
Music is the only instance in my life when I’m mad at a YT ad for existing
This was my HS band director who guided my love for music. He was demanding, but inspirational. He conducted music the way I wanted to play. He empowered his players to be better than they thought they could be.
Same here
What school?
Saw this one in person at Finals. To this day, one of the most unreal things I’ve witnessed. The brass performance was perfection.
Where were you seated. The areas past the 40s are at a big disadvantage.
perfect brass score for a reason
If not the best, one of the best shows ever. Perfect hornline says it all.
5:03 "You make the impossible relevant" might be my favorite judge quote now
Just went to comment this as well!

Me too!
I freaking love judge tapes. And this man really is enjoying himself. Yep!
I've never, in all my years in drum corps( 45+) heard a judge get so emotional about a performance. Much respect to you, Joe Allison.
YES!!! WE NEED MORE OF THESE TAPES!!!
literally the best dci shows. Inferno (2015) is closely behind.
e's hair
You haven’t seen many 2000s cavaliers shows have ya? This is the best brass line, sure. Not the best show.
@@nickniehaus17632000s Cavies is God tier, they were absolutely throwing down back then and the scores definitely showed. Crown 2013 is my favorite show of all time but I have a sweet spot for DCI in the 2000s

most elegant commentaries in the annals of DCI.

Greatest drum corps show ever
This invoked a profound spiritual effect on him and quite frankly on me and others listening. He was in a state of nirvana. “You know” was very much a description of something that was indescribable. I am glad I came across this (and am blessed to be a crown alum)
This is what it's all about, man. You never know how impactful and meaningful a show can be to someone, but this gives some great perspective.
He is so genuine during this. All judges need to be more like this. RIP, Joe. The entire activity will miss you. ❤️❤️

By far my favorite show of all time. Such power and impact. Watched this show live early in the season and it has always amazed me!
That’s the ultimately compliment for musicians and performers: have the judges cry over how impactful your performance was
please post more of these
Beautiful, all of it. I was crying with him. Sorry to hear he passed.
No one:

That was EPIC.
....and Crown was pretty much fire, too.❤
“F” for phenomenal
"I'm genuinely touched". You and me both, buddy.

Rest in peace
Even if crown didn't win in 2013, I would've considered it the greatest win when my music can impact anyone listening to it.
Were you in Crown that year?
🎶 PERFECTION 🎶
yep
I need the blue devils 2014 judge tape too, Pls.
I’m not crying, you’re crying
Rip
Anybody got the field percussion judge tape?
I believe its on youtube somewhere still try just looking it up one here. If you haven't been able to find it it was probably taken down.
Judge makes me want to grab my horn and practice till my lips bleed. I miss him and I’ve never met him.
F for Phenomenal
For those who know... (YA'LL) know they won before they started (Playin') .. GO CROWN!!!
