They completely lost a speaker for sure. Props are thought to actually be decently ok. They won't be able to access the truck again until later in the weekend or towards the end of the week though. Since the show is pretty reliant on electronics and the props, I think these next two shows may be rough for a while until they figure it out.

These are the kinds of moments though that can really put members/staff at their best though. Adversity and challenges can pull out the best in people. Hope they do in fact kick butt.

MikeN Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Me too. Well, some butt. But not too much. :) Glad everyone's ok! Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Well, that's a shame. I have no doubt the performers will do all they can, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetiredMusTeach Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 On a similar post about SCVC's accident on Reddit, a former member said that they are already buying new equipment, so maybe they will have the sound EQ they need tonight.

TRacer Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 My "report from the front" indicates the front barriers got damaged, some sound equipment lost and minor damage to the big heavy props. Staff went out earlier today to secure new sound equipment. The director gave them an "Excellence in All Things" speech and yes, they are still pumped. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmeuphonium Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Southwind sounded great. Had some screamers and really fun sectional solos. Les Stentors tried hard. I think all the horns doubled on battery at some point. Made the corp seem bigger than they were. Forgot to take a photo. Guardians had a really fun/hip show. Ball caps and sunglasses. Not a fan of all the Kanye voice overs, but I'm a 40 year old fart. Music and props were great. Intermission now. posted from the DrumScorps app 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
