Yes, he is talking in an official tone! The word "will" was used here to indicate something that is going to happen in the future. It is used both as an instruction and a prediction. In this case, he is stating that everyone in the room will rise when the judge comes in. Ex: Oh, sorry. I forgot your drink. Sally will go back and get it! Ex: Keep watching! You will see how the ballet dancers point their toes.
