Cardman Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Cavies, Spincycle - during the part where the corps was sitting down, and people were getting up and playing quick rips and then sitting down again, the fourth "soloist" must have been really nervous or something cause all the notes were really weird-sounding.hope i dont offend you, Fourth-Spinning-Cavie-Soloist, if youre reading this. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, as others have mentioned already this "weird sounding" solo was done on purpose. I got to watch them practice this section of the show many times that year... The Cadets rifle drop during the silent rifle feature in 2001. Man I felt bad for that guy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This was the 2002 show, not 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 85 Cavies....one poor guard guy got the butt end of his flagpole caught in the shoulders wings on his uniform at the end of "Mars". 'Course, it always seems that if you're in the guard and drop equipment, THAT is when you get your one and only closeup on the broadcast...86 BD comes to mind...same for the backsticking flub before the long roll and turn backfield in the drum feature. The thing is, there's ALWAYS going to be some flaw in the show...tjat's the nature of a live performance with s lot of people involved, especially with something as intricate as drum corps. Once you release the arrow you can't call it back...so if you flub, you go on to the next task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywnch320970 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 (edited) i'm really surprised no one has mentioned this one....it was a BIG one. '84 Regiment, OTL, DCI finals. the crowd yelled, "SUTA" at the exact WRONG (!!!!!!!!!!) moment, and half of the corps (the half that was facing backfield) missed the stepoff. yep, i was one of them..... Ü jan but it only took 2 counts to recover! Edited May 2, 2005 by skywnch320970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marthonius J. Gleason Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Haven't read through the 7 pages of replies yet, so this may be redundant.... Garfield Cadets at Whitewater in 1984....the domino effect at the tail end of the Z pull when the last kid bit it....and then next, and the next and the next. Yikes! Scary to watch, but whatta recovery. They still won marching too. D'oh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggmanX-Kingsmen Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 In my opinion, the biggest messup in DCI history was the Bridgemen disqualification from DCI finals in 1977 (or 78?). It was a travesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phansouth Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 89 SCV-- Finals. Watch the far-end snare at the end of the opener. Everyone else halts, he takes two more steps to fix his alignment. 93 Cavies. Finals. Wet field. The ugly snake. 91-92 Cavies-- Pick a soloist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancerLegend Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Was told this - but was too young to be there. 1969 Kilties drum major - after concert - forgets to give the command "Horns up" - and proceeds to give a "Mark time march" command. The hornline freaked - some raise their horns to play - others didn't. Need some dinosaur to confirm this. (Pre-DCI I know, but a huge contributor to DCI when it was formed.)

InspaDave Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 '88 Spirit. The whole show was a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
