WWonka Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Director and Caption head - "Hornline, we need MORE! That section and the hit need to be louder!" So I did what I was told.. 30 seconds later stops corps - "#### it (insert my last name here) this is not a #### soprano solo with drum corps accompaniment. You are all we can hear from the entire #### right side!' Hey they said crank it up.. :P Yeah I was that guy that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass5 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 In the 1976 Scouts "first show" Jimmy Elvord described the tymp. entrance onto the field (intro to Shaft) as sounding like "garbage cans falling off the back of a garbage truck". I also remember at our first show in 1976 after playing Fred Sanford's "Pick up the Pieces" drum solo (with horns) there was dead silence until someone in the crowd stood up and screamed "what the h*ll was that".

WordRider Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I thought this might be a little fun. When we were kids, (or some of us who still play), we hear things from our instructors that may, or may not be only in DrumCorps. A few;"#########!! This is REHEARSAL, you practice at HOME!!!!" "Time is not a magazine" "Your OTHER left" "What was THAT??!!" "Where's the fire?" (when things sped up.) "At least the hands still work." (marching) If this has been done before, I apologize, but I thought we could have some fun. B) ^0^ b**bs b**bs Rock On!! And there are also many other things which Director did,the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the replies that should be fed. Amen.

KungFuCharlie Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 The first time I heard our Canadian brass staff say the words "mouth, out, about" or end a sentence with "eh?" I thought all that was a myth from South Park. I recall a time when Dave MacKinnon explained the "Tango" to us during the season and used an attractive baritone players as an example. :sshh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudHype Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Just remembered another one. "Contras and Baris, I want the sound in that section to be thick and oozing like lava or a monkeys ###". We lost it! Then he told us this story about when he was student teaching he had to go on a field trip to a Zoo and a story about an ape house and how the little kids reacted to a babby ape that stuck a finger up momas ape's behind". So we renamed that part of the show, Ape House. Later that day... Set it up at Ape House!!!! Our percussion guy turned to the horn guy and said "You told the THAT story".
