snare36 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hey Spike, would you know the story about a huge trainwreck in Rome, NY? I remember hearing once about a pile-up, and it might have been in the years you marched... That wasn't one of my years but I believe it happened at some point between 93-95. I remember hearing something about that. Pretty hideous. I think it may have been 1993. That SCV Corps was so young and the drill and music was so challenging. They struggled all summer.

snare36 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I happen to have the general effect judges tape from the 1998 Allentown show where the snare drummer ate it. The moment goes like this: Judge: "Great job with the staging in this moment and I can tell... OH! OH!... OH! NO! Oh, God... One of your drummers has taken a terrible tumble. Oh, dear! He looks alright. I hate it when that happens... It also appears to have stolen the steam from your opening impact as all eyes are drawn to the poor kid scrambling to get back in the drum line... Oh, such a shame." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That night was a bit of a fluke. It never happened again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
