DCI Embarrassing Moments

"It's ok we have godlike percussion"

its true though XD

Luke Koto my school has godlike percussion too

[@raghulsachi1428]

Luke fuck you Its raghul btw

[@gingechicken7394]

It was amazing how they picked it up and started playing it.

[@gracemoon5311]

What show is it

[@brothaNblue]

It's all about recovery. Except for that last one. There is no recovering from that.

[@jfman0006]

BrothaNBlue2 what was the last mistake exactly

[@malditobandito98]

The whole whip thing, it was retarded.

[@drumcorps0junkie]

BrothaNBlue2 The whip and nae nae is for mainstream nowadays radio trash.

oh OK lol

[@ryanwest7405]

I was in the stadium when the tenor fell over in the second clip. He was down for a good few seconds, but man did haul absolute ass 50 yards to get back with the line.

Was that finals?

[@tr83ey23]

I know the guy at 0:28 who dropped his snare. Whenever he introduces himself to band people that’s the first thing he tells them. Everyone to this day still makes fun of him for it. 😂

[@TheGhostOfTK]

How do you know him?

[@nathantpt]

He’s the percussion teacher at my school😂

[@jnayabrooks4905]

he’s our percussion teacher now

[@ChristopherT1]

He’s an f’ing legend!! Nothing to make fun of. He had a major issue during a performance and he recovered like a god boss!! Massive respect!!

[@jackrogers3657]

Honestly, that field judge came in clutch there.

[@charliecharlie4605]

for anyone wondering: you get points taken away if you mess up, you get some points back if you recover as if nothing happened. My section leader told me a girl locked her knees one competition and we got extra points for *stepping over her unconscious body.*

[@Forcer360]

this is facts, doesn't matter what happens, you keep going, now that's a little scary but yeah.

[@josealcazar2922]

@@unicorniorhian it's scary but true. We had our Bari player pass out during a big follow the leader section during our opener. It's weird going back and seeing the video of that run because you can just see a little blip in the line where she passed out. Thankfully she was up before our opener even ended. Just kinda sat there and waited till her drill called for her to be up near there and got back in line. The visual judge gave us back almost all the lost points for the recovery

[@aaronquillopo3486]

It's amazing how short the video is, I think it's because DCI has the least mistakes in the world. LOL

[@sci8]

Well there's 149 people +staff who would kill you if you really really screwed up so... (*cough* that one bd trumpet soloist)

What I learned: Cavies are blessed no matter what happens And SCV 2015's pit is full of legends

[@MiraDaWulf]

Fun fact, SCV 2015 (the one where the piano died) had the piano part picked up by the mallets by default, so it’s not the fact that it’s godlike percussion, it’s the fact that they actually played their show

[@samrshelley]

You missed so many more Bluecoats eating shit off the ramps. Also need that 89 BD solo.

[@drumcorps0junkie]

samrshelley 89 bd hacked solo.

[@thecursingsaltine]

No one talks about that solo

[@jayprivacy1900]

drumcorps0junkie The SCV tenor drummer(black dude on the end) dropped his stick in the middle of their solo in 1989. I think the won high drums too. It happened right in front of judge, however he recovered like a champ. I guess that's why they were the champs. You blink you'll miss it.

[@jayprivacy1900]

I went and looked it up on KZbin. 8:40 mark.

[@VKDM8687]

I absolutely lost it with the sound effect of the solo rifle smacking his head. Thank you!! BAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[@BobPlayzGamez]

wait how the hell did he get his snare back

You guys saying a judge gave him the snare back are wrong. He actually is a Jedi and used the force.

[@emmamakesbadart]

but whats really impressive it that they all kept going. they all were having fun. and to the last group, im sure it seemed like a great idea that year

[@Chav1v]

The scv 2015 one is a tragic story, he has severe social anxiety so when the camera was on him he opened his eyes and panicked and stopped playing. He froze up

[@sceu25]

If he had severe social anxiety then he probably wouldn’t be doing drum corps. Seems like he just kinda forgot, which happens to all of us.

[@maddierae6997]

0:28 - that one gets me everytime i can’t stop laughing for some reason

Watch 88 Bluecoats during Autumn Leaves. HUGE rifle toss...one of the guard misses (windy that night I think)...rifle bounces into the head of one of the solo sops up front AND HE HOLDS THE NOTE. Complete STUD of a musician.

0:05 the guy in the vid works at my school. His name is Nick Skinner and he’s our music caption head😂

[@CCWSig]

Had a couple good ones like these when I marched. Had a snare player fall backwards on my line fall backwards, the snare came off the hanger and rolled up his chest, the rim cracked him right in the nose and broke it, so much blood but he finished the show. Another night we had my tenor players pull right up on the 50, front sidelines for their solo, my center tenor lowers his drums for the solo and PLOP! Fell right to the ground! He just looked around and kept marching the rest of the show drumless. Things happen, just recover best you can and keep going.

[@thomaseaster2796]

I needed this because I had fallen yesterday at a Halftime show, trying to run back to our spots after our trumpet quartet. I can confirm that band shoes have little to NO traction! Haha

How about the poor Cadet who stepped out early in the TEN set on finals night.

[@letsplayerwannabe]

The SCV one... :'(

[@kevinyunseokim8194]

did he forget the music? or did it stop working?

[@letsplayerwannabe]

He hit a wrong note, and then he lost his steam. When playing an invention, one wrong note leads to everything falling apart because of how both hands have to play separate melodies. His synth was definitely working because you could hear the wrong notes and he immediately comes back in, Yamaha MOTIF's take about a minute and half to charge up, and generally when synths stop working, people are proactive to fix them. Source: I'm a DCI Synth

[@kevinyunseokim8194]

yeah that's what i thought, because near the end, i still heard him playing notes, but it was faltering

[@tjexplorer]

Kid at my school marched SCV that year. He maintains that even he doesn't know what happened. The video certainly sounds like the keyboardist choked. Bummer since I saw SCV multiple times that year and he never faltered before finals.

[@letsplayerwannabe]

No yeah he just had a bad run. Understandable, 999/1000 times you'll get something right but that 1/1000 always strikes when its most important. He made a good choice to stop playing though.

[@ChanceHardwick-n4g]

Marching backwards during my high school show. For like a whole 2 minutes. I tripped and rolled backwards with my snare rolling in other direction, the three other snares and the tenors had to hop over me as I tried to get up and I had to run like 10 yards to get my snare. I tripped at the end of the movement and during the complete silence before the ballad I was trying to march/sprint to get my drum and then sprint while trying to act like I’m fluttering during our ballad to get behind a prop where drumline was chilling.

[@sarahwainwright6210]

[@Randomness823]

A couple years ago we had a sousaphone player trip over a prop (the metal hitch of our cart, ow) during finals at a marching competition. Backwards. Poor girl fell pretty hard and the whole show was paused (other sousas couldn't see her either so it was a safety concern). Turns out she was already lightheaded from heatstroke and passed out briefly from the impact of her head against her instrument. We also realized the colorguard was roughly 5-10 yards off when they moved the prop during a set and so it was in her way. I don't think we had any other accidents like that though, and I imagine guard was chewed out pretty throughly. Glad she's okay.

[@pukingpotato2843]

I just realized that my current high school band director was one of the drum majors in the show from the last clip (2016 Cavaliers Propaganda)!
