cheezedogg 23 Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 what exactly do u mean, "horn stacks'?? did we jump on top of each other? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I think he means, how we set our horns down in groups. I know that some corps do crazy stuff on finals night (like Madison Scouts making a big pile of contras, for example). We don't do anything crazy like that, not having the money to replace the horns when something goes wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zachsbugle Posted November 4, 2002 Author Share Posted November 4, 2002 i mean in formation, doesn't everybody do hornstacks? i thought that was a major thing done in corps. like set the horns down in order high to low just before lunch or dinner. or else a section stack before a long water break.

84BDsop Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 No horn stacks when I marched...too expensive to replace. We just put 'em down in front of us like everyone else did. Now the bass line was different...they'd stack the drums witht he rims down, then set the #1 on top with the head facing the crowd and drape a California flag over it...don't know if they still do that...on the '84 video you can see one of the guys jumping up and down as BD's percussion caption win is announced...he was trying to put the flag up at the time.

We do that. We set them all down in a long row for meals, usually within sight of us. If we can't do that, we have someone guard them. After shows we don't; too dangerous, and someone could steal a horn if we leave them sitting outside the bus or truck, so we just put them away right away. If we're staying at our housing overnight after a practice day, we usually line our horns up in the gym or somewhere else nearby to where we're sleeping, so they'll be easily accessible to us in the morning.

cheezedogg 23 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Yeah we did that. we didn't call it that. It was just lining up the retreat block. not horn stacks. Yeah sometime the sops put ours in a star, mellos did random things. Contras had fun with balancing acts sometimes. Baritones never really did anything. But most shows we just laid them down in our order of field retreat, not quite as fun, couldnt' do too much. no money for new horns, so not too much fun.
