ekrebs102 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 you know how occasionally the long ranger would get staticy or cut into radio stations? once our long ranger cut into the howard stern show for about four seconds. Yeah, our Long Ranger had the same frequency as a church service one morning. We overheard a preacher/song leader and the I think that staff realized that the very "complimentary" comments made to the corps probably also made it into the church. Wow, that was akward...and very funny at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekrebs102 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) OK, this is a fun topic. My personal favorites from my time at Bluecoats were 3. "Don't suck" - our pep talk before every show in 94 from Mr. Bobby "Old school Bridgemen" Jones (good to see on this thread where he may have learned it from) 2. "Bass Drums...Don't do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" - also from Mr. Jones from the tower often during rehearsals. (very funny since it was not directed at my section) and 1. (In a discussion about how much concentration we should maintain during warmup) "There could be a naked fat woman rolling around on the ground trying to give herself an enema and it should not break your focus." This person will remain nameless, and no it was not Bobby Jones. Edited August 25, 2006 by ekrebs102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekneek Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Said to a member who, inexplicably, was spinning around during the drill... "You're like a tornado, destroying all the pictures in your path." "You've got VD... Visual Disaster." Said on a morning when it seemed like half the corps was late to the field... "Excuses are like ########! We've all got them and they all STINK!" Said to me... "Where are you supposed to be?" "Two off the 45" "You aren't two off the 45! Fix it!" (Vis staff near me says, "You're fine, but just move over a little bit so we can move on...") "What are you doing? I said do PUSH UPS!" "We're going to do this until you get it right." "That was great! Now do it again!" "If you don't feel like puking, you aren't drinking enough water." "That didn't suck as much as before." "You didn't beat them. They just suck a little more than you." "Don't suck!" "We have time for one more! Set it up!" I wish I could remember more. I've heard most of the stuff everyone else mentioned as well.

RFPADirector Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 "I bet if there were a bucket of chicken in her spot she'd make it." - I can't remember his name "don't suck!" - Al Chez at 95 Reading "What are you looking at? wtf?, etc." - Mike Doherty "you're rushin', try blue cheese" - don't remember "He couldn't find the 50 if they parked the gd truck on it" "you hold back, hold back, hold back and then....release" - on explanation of the proper way to play a fermata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schumie Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 One of the best has to be from Ralph Stewart in finals week after the announcements about all the flight restrictions this year. While running a set where everyone should be covered down after 4... "OK, just like drinks on a plane, we're not allowed to do that anymore" Another good one while learning some freeform.. "Drumline, spread out more. Wider, come on, think of the flag line right now" (I'm probably going to get slapped by someone for that!)

kadune Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Said on a morning when it seemed like half the corps was late to the field..."Excuses are like ########! We've all got them and they all STINK!" I heard that on tour in 2005. The same guy that said it also liked to say "You know what assuming does? It makes an ### out of you and me!"
