76strad Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I was at the show in m'boro last night (where I live). I have not been keeping up at all over the summer so I was pretty excited to go and catch up on the slack. So when the Cadets came out "Team Demon" started throwing cones and what have ye. Then I saw someone chuck a trumpet like 20 yards. Who ever chucked that... was that a real horn? (I love Cavaliers, but the Cadets show was my favorite) by the way, I never saw if they switched it out for a playable horn, so I was wondering if it was the actual playing horn someone decided to chuck. Ima quit typing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ima quit typing. It was a baritone that had been run over by a mom picking up a kid at a school. The horn was relegated to the closet to be used for parts, but the kids thought it would be a great effect on the field. There's a story about it on the Cadets site. "We'd never intentionally run over a perfectly good horn!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I think Phantom '91 is the only time anyone has thrown a horn across the field for real..... (watch close at the end, when they throw the helmets, and a horn goes flying) But then again, last year in Boston's show, there was the horn toss, that was missed a couple of times. I know I always held my breath when they tried it.... It's a cool effect though for the Cadet's show, really love all of the layering they've put into this show, could really push for the title, I hope so at least. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris ncsu Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Just from reading descriptions (plus watching videos all season as the show has progressed), it feels like the theatrics of Phantom 08. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I believe it was the 1984 Freelancers who had their guard start the show with sopranos and they dd a toss with the horns prior to putting them down and picing up their rifles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somerville Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I once tossed my cookies in a show...bad tuna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 91 Regiment...I believe the bari that got tossed was a personal horn, not owned by the corps. The story I heard was that it was an age-out that had a bet with a staff member for a case of beer, and apparently the member won, so the video says.

JimF-LowBari Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Saw a contrabass go flying (well as good as contras go flying) at the Mini Corps Contest at DCA Weekend 2007..... Later I told the guy who was holding it (fellow DCPer) that he wasn't allowed within 50 feet of my single valve horn.... Paging Gary Matczak.....

yabetterbelieveit Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Cadets 90 threw a soprano in the air if I remember correctly. Does anyone have pictures from last night? What were the new tarps along the front end? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
