WhiteWaterCavie Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 The "random selection" process for finals performance order in 1988. Oh, you meant performance gaffes? :P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it was written that way in the style of the piece.... thats why the guard members were "dutting" too, you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstar82 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 A few come to mind. 98 DATR Crossmen Contra falls near the front sideline marching backwards towards side 1, takes a spill. So do the 5 or 6 horns marching in front of him not knowing what's coming. Scary to watch. Like a car accident. 83. Ankeny, Iowa. Tornado warnings stop the show and sirens go off during Troopers show. PA announcer screaming at the Troopers to stop the show. Troopers finish their show with the stands pretty much empty and everybody headed into a school at the show site. Remember young girls from California screaming and crying not knowing what to expect. Also remember strong winds must have blown 1/4 of the corps hats off during their"performance". 78. 27th during Gaite Parisienne on LP's you can hear soprano come in a count early all by his lonesome I believe after some type of drum break. I'm doing this one from memory. I'm not breaking out the LP or turntable to confirm this. 05. Indy day show. Blue Knights also lined upon the wrong set of hashmarks just before the start of the show. Side 2 trying to correct themselves as the first counts of the show had already started and they are in the process of bending down with their horns. BK director confirmed this one with me. And folks were wondering why the big change in scores from between that show, the night show and Columbus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmvztx Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 The first one that comes to my mind is 2000 Cavaliers. A guard member drops his rifle a round 7:50 into the show, the guard guy infront of him backing up misses him and he gets out of the way before a horn player marches back into him. Other one is either 95 or 96 MS, it looks like one of the guard guys hits a horn player with his flag/rifle, the horn player flinches for a second.

rumbaman25 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I don't think anyone has mentioned the Phantom 93 show. Druing the crabstep wedge, The wandering BassLine . One of my favorate showes though :) ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarVoyager Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 yeah the 04 bd tenor is legit jstu went and watched that one on the percussion cam on the dvd. kudos to him a very smooth slide on the knees to avoid taking out the tenors and the basses. can't believe i missed that...guess i was too amazed by how they left the field at finals. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL!!!!! I missed that too until only about 2 months ago. I love watching the high cam and it's visible there too but all this time I never caught it. When I first saw it, I thought I was seeing things. I just could not believe it until I backed it up and watched it 2 more times. :P Felt bad for the guy but as you stated he did have a #### good recovery. ^OO^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherKadenze Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Back in 91 or 92 the Blue Knights was doing the Texas tour and one of the tenors was crab marching across the field and he tripped over his feet and fell hard on the field breaking apart all of his different size tenors on the field. b**bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kying1031 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I recall sometime during 95 cavies, during the percussion feature and the horn manuals, someone almost knocked their own hat over, and fixed it on the next horn flash or whatever. Sometime just before 6 minutes into the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherKadenze Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Comment on (bmvztx) Hey I remember that one it was in 95.. I was like dang that must have stung a little bit... But I seen this one live in 91 a mellophone player from Star of Indiana landing flat on his face while the rest of the corps was moving 100 mph... But he pop right back up before he could cause a major pile up and was back in his spot with a dazed look on his face... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
