oldtimedrummer Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) The Cadets rifle drop during the silent rifle feature in 2001. Man I felt bad for that guy. Edited May 1, 2005 by oldtimedrummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invader Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 1983 Crossmen at Drums Along The Rockies. I believe they had just made a change that day and Drum Major Jerry Mascaro gave a wrong command. Half the horns drums and guard started performing the show and the other half were still at attention. My son said it was the lowest point in his drum corps career. They reset and got a good start but it was a real embarrassment for the members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAvery Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 OK, I got a few. I'm suprised that no one has mentioned the Cadets train wreck in the "z" pull in about 85 at Whitewater. Classic. Any one remember the Madison cymbal player in 76 that lost his cymbal. He kept playing by hitting the other cymbal with his fist. His hand was pretty bloody by the end of the show. In 1979 Jeff Fiedler fell off the podium at the end of "Children of Sanchez" in Greenville, SC. I couldn't play I was laughing so hard.

Malibu Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 The big problem there was the Bottle Dance came as a surprise addition and the fans went berserk. The fans were so loud there was no way anyone in the audience could hear what SCV was playing....they could only see what was happening. Couple that with the acoustics of playing under the partial Montreal Olympic Stadium half-dome and it was so loud the members of the corps couldn't hear a thing. I wasn't even aware there was a problem on the field until the recordings came out, as was everyone else I personally asked about it after listening to the recording. And it was a huge thing once one couldn't actually hear it. Mike <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mike, I was there sitting around the 40 or 35 and I did notice the sound delay or phasing from one side to the other. Like you said, the crowd erupted when SCV started playing the first note of the Bottle Dance. We had heard rumors all summer that they were going to add it in for finals and was so excited that they did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hornline's quick thinking jump in anyway so there wasn't a train wreck. It was kind of weird that all were on the same page! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 OK, I got a few.I'm suprised that no one has mentioned the Cadets train wreck in the "z" pull in about 85 at Whitewater. Classic. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's a separate thread about this....it was 84. Re cymbals falling apart...prelims 85, Avante Garde....first chrash of the show and a dude's strap broke. I felt so sorry for him....and hoped it wasn't his age-out show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idontwan2know Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Glassmen 01 - flugel soloist has significant trouble, towards the end of the opener a contra hits a giant unison horn entrance almost a whole beat early. Nice tone, though. Magic 95 - last note....one sop....just ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpod Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Just a few...... Cadets 1995 - Two wipeouts trying to make the company front about half way through the show. Suncoast Sound 1988 - Was it just me or was that "Memorial" a little lop-sided? Maybe someone can clarify, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ContraRich77 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 The infamous half-a-beat early gong at the beginning of 90 BD? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't remember that..................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
