84BDsop Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I heard that the 1988 Blue Devils soloist at the end of the show during semis tried and rip that high note but missed. and instead of stopping he kept trying and trying. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmmm...he's on the BD board...I'll ask him.

timrbd Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I heard that the 1988 Blue Devils soloist at the end of the show during semis tried and rip that high note but missed. and instead of stopping he kept trying and trying. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope. The last note was missed once all season and that was in the last show before finals week. Cincinnati I think. Not a disaster so much as a miraculous recovery but I remember watching SCV in 1986 I think (Russian Christmas music... '86?) A horn player was trucking accross the field and his sash fell down around is ankles. If he had fallen it would have been a train wreck. He did little skip hop jump steps for 10 or 15 yards before he managed to jump out of the sash. I remember going on after Suncoast in 1988. As we went onto the field they were coming off carrying a bloody guard member who had caught a rifle toss... with her head. 1986 Garfield Cadets in Allentown. The guard tangled the big fabric frames that they were supposed to hold over the hornline. Tim Root BD 86, 87, 88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crfrey71 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 My wife caught though...See also 86 Devs on the vid...flag drops and then kicks it trying to pick it up. Mike <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remembered that from the '86 show. Also, in BD '99, the sop solo near the end, did he not attempt to try and screech out the last note and thus played the same note? If not, it sounds like it and sounds funny. I also remember a few flubbed notes on the vibes, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crfrey71 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 How about the "VANGUARD" yell this past year, during SCV's performance.? So many all year long kept yelling it too early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
