Carl306 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Americanos 2003, Louisville, Kentucky. Americanos DM completely forgot a change that the staff put in during a rehearsal and just stopped conducting. So I've been told... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickenwing Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Hey, I got one...how about all of those people that got cut from the respective corps that they are talking about in this post? Those are pretty big "messups" in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Uh, we're talking about things that have actually gone wrong in shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickenwing Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Uh, we're talking about things that have actually gone wrong in shows. I think not...the post is titled "Biggest messups in DCI history?" I don't see the word "show" anywhere in the topic. I think I hit a little close to home on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 How about the train wreck of a cross-tempo for SCV during the Bottle Dance in 1982. That wasn't just one person. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Ever hear the second screech soloist at the end of Kilties' "Auld Lang Syne" (pyramiding screech chord feature) in 1975? I remember being in the stands after performing and hearing it live. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
