Drum Corps Quotes - A little fun


Recommended Posts

My husband told me that George Zingali would yell "Contra's are you ####tin me"? To get them to project more..(That was 1978 when he marched w 27).

Plus my favorite quote is in my signature by George B. "Do it, do it right and do it right the first time".

It was '97, our (BK) first day of tour in Council Bluffs Iowa. Us sopranos were having a rough day. We were a mostly young and very green section that was not holding phrases to save our a@@. Our Brass Caption Jason Buckingham had us play a section of the opener 3 times and 3 times it not only wasn't good, it got worst. Jason, having enough threw his hat off and said,"Take a lap,." "You're not Sopranos, you're Trumpets." "Take a lap Trumpets!!!!" Upon ariving back we were winded and played the passage again terribly and he lost it. "Trumpets, take two, no five laps, better yet run until I'm not mad anymore." Looking back, that was one of the funniest, although not at the time moments I have ever been through!! Now a days i guess being called a "trumpet" is accurate.

Conversation between drivers one night:

"Bruno, where are you?"

"Highway"

"Where on the highway Bruno?"

Five minutes later

"Highway"

"No Bruno, what mile number?"

"Mile number (insert number here)"

"That's good, you're about 20 miles behind us"

"What the H### was that?"

"There are four parts of the show that makes my butt pucker, and that's one of them"

"Reset!!"

More bus driver conversations. Year after I left, 4AM middle of no where in Upstate NY.

Bus #1 - "Watch it, Bambi (deer) on the right shoulder. He might cross."

(after a short pause)

Bus #2 - "See him, looks like he might move"

(after a looong pause)

Bus #3 - "AH ####!!!! Pull over guys, we nailed him".

Bus Driver was nicknamed "The Deerkiller" rest of the season.

========================================

Westshoremen Legend from the corps first show in two years (corps went inactive and put a show together in a very short time with 50+% rookies).

Heard on the horn judge tape (supposedly) "Ehhh, that soprano is so out of tune it makes my skin crawl".

I forgot about judging comments....

Random DCM guy on ensemble music: "The sound is so well blended I can't hear the melody!"

As much as I like getting positive bonus points for a balance problem, that guy's not smart.

And one more from staff:

"Thank you for playing, Woody! You will receive the home version of drum corps!" chris dedman

in 1990 I had a notebook and on a whim started collecting quotes as they came out of peoples mouths. By first tour everyone would shout QUOTE whenever someone said something worthy of the book and in it would go.

A few choice ones are:

Visual practice: "That looked like a monkey f_cking a football"

"marching with ----- is like living with a 6-year old"

"Don't let the acoustics fool you, you don't sound that good"

"If you slip and fall down, roll the #### out of my forms" - John Brazale

"Contras, intervals are NOT an option" - Johnny Sanchez

"Here we are bidding goodbye to wonderful cows anus Wisconsin"

"I don't know what I broke, but I hope it's expensive and not mine"

"It's like you're doing the Lambada with yourself"

"I know you have no where to go, but use all the counts to get there" - John Brazale

"I can't warm up with a full bladder"

"Colorguard, that looks about as musical as a door"

"We have an orgy at the end of our show and it looks like we are having safe sex"

"Try to maintain the correct body posture while galloping across the field"

"Staff! positive re-enforcement please"

"I'm so tired, if my d-ck fell off I'm not sure I would bother to pick it up"
