Kamarag Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Just a few......Suncoast Sound 1988 - Was it just me or was that "Memorial" a little lop-sided? Maybe someone can clarify, please. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep. In a glorious example of incompetance by an otherwise incredible guard staff, the "wall" flags were placed on the back sideline in the wrong order. I guess it's difficult to ensure that "eight" comes between "nine" and "seven"...or whatever number ot was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpod Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I guess that explains the silence just after the 'shroom cloud. Well, the cloud explains it too but you get the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gellio Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I remember a pic from Madison '02, where one guard member is very obviously out of the form, standing on the wrong yard line, five yards from where he should be. :o <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That was actually from 2000 Finals!

gellio 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. Don <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No one mentioned the Cadets train wreckk in the Z Pull in '85 at Whitewater because it never happened. It was in '84.

Danpod Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I just saw the Magic 2002 one. I don't know how I missed that but when I saw it, my eyes started watering :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl306 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 The Cadets rifle drop during the silent rifle feature in 2001. Man I felt bad for that guy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think that one was in '02, if you're talking about the 9/11 tribute show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 It was 2001 I think at the BD home show and a girl in the Mandarins Guard had her top fall down exposing her breasts during a company front halt thing. She held it there for a good 15 seconds and I couldn't believe what I saw but then she went on with the show and her next throw she NAILED IT! That was the best recovery from an embarrassing slip up I have ever seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Ageout Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Cavies 02 - Finals night...the "gock blocker" dropped his stick and had to air gock block! Madison 02 - Hayward, CA...the drummer that lead the corps onto the field started his lick on the wrong yard line. Half the corps stopped on the 50 the others went to the 45. THey basically feel apart. the crowd laughed! Oops....bet he never did that again. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> wasnt that madison error at Concord? i distinctly remember it happening there. the SCV tear in 82 is pretty bad too.... i remember hearing a story about SCV 89 at Stockton (gosh i hate that place) and how it was one of the worst the corps has ever had. i will say though...watching cadets 02 in madison was pretty scary.

NavyCrusader Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I'll bite... In 2000 when we were in Rome, NY waiting to go on the field SCV was ahead of us.... Turns out from what I hear the snareline had a spill and all I remember was watching a snare drum rolling across the field from behind the bleachers.

Guest DrumCorpFan 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}> Someone I marched with in '83 was in the stands in '82 and immediately commented to her boyfriend, "They just lost nationals."
