[@ShubhamGupta-mh9gx]

Phenomenal playing. My heart melted when I heard the first few bongo notes. That member created an almost ambrosial sense of mystery yet also a feeling of calm. The visual presence was also absolutely breathtaking. Spectacular performance.

[@nzane1216]

everyone is laughing now, but in the future, this very well could become a broken city show that actually wins at championships

Underrated statement, right there.

It's hilarious this has the world record for lowest score

@@acfern6862 technically with the old scoring system it would be a perfect score except for timing penalties

[@oakerii]

Ok, their equipment truck broke down, the only things they had were cymbals and bongos with were brought with their buses. So they performed this.

[@LuckyOwI777]

Thanks for explaining what everyone already knew

[@eonstar]

@@LuckyOwI777 not everyone who sees this vid will know that

[@andrewkimtrumpet]

Thank you for telling me! I am a big dci fan but I’m not up to date with wgi, nor am I familiar with major incidents that may have happened within these events. I did not know that there was an equipment truck malfunction *cough* luckyowl *cough* and I was very confused until I read this very lovely comment, so thank you and have a great day :)

[@jamess.4601]

Ok but imagine a mime show. The whole show is just acting like there’s equipment with literally none. They fake pull out the floor. Play fake in the front and air all the battery notes with drill. That would be crazy

[@nathanaelquimby3606]

That could be a Winterguard Show.

[@rocketman561]

I guess all their snares and stuff didnt make it so all they had was bongos and cymbals

[@jeim376]

Nathanael Quimby I like the idea of a show where they have instruments but never use them as well

[@morganicsmoothie964]

I've never, in my entire life, been more deeply moved by any musical performance. The innovation, the creativity... such a profound message about persistence and courage. The bravery shown in the face of disaster, summed up by a single performance: A Crashy Bongo is the most meaningful arrangement ever composed.

[@camryncheatwood6537]

watching this after wgi championships was cancelled hits different

I know. My group was doing so much better than usually, and we had such an entertaining show. Sucks. All we can do is get hyped for next years performances

@@saraboatman632 True. I'm in an Independent group, so I'm coming back to it. And even people who were supposed to age out get an extra year. But high school seniors are done with their group. Of course, they can join an independent group, but that still really sucks. My high school was doing really well this year and actually had a pretty cool show

[@saraboatman632]

LuckyOwl777 saaaame!! i'm prolly gonna join infinity two or three next year or maybe horizon winds! thankfully i'll get the opportunity to do independent but yeah my high school team was on track to place at finals D: good luck next year though i hope your group does amazingly and that you have a lot of fun!!

that floor is gorgeous which company do y'all use?

[@gorblesnag]

Da floor

[@NerdismOfficial]

My drum instructor always jokes about an idea he and a couple friends had called the Caveman Show, where everyone comes out in caveman costumes and beats the living shit out of their drums with wooden clubs while screeching and yelling at the top of their lungs. The show continues until everyone’s drums are on the ground.

[@fortniter2738]

Wtf

[@smithsonian2464]

I’d watch the fuck outta that show. My old high school ensemble would be the ones to actually do it too

[@rainwang2516]

I've watched this show more times than you can imagine. Definitely my favorite show. Pulse 2017 is pretty great, definitely up there, but get a load of A Crashy Bongo. There are some great shows out there, but this one surpasses all others. The emotions placed in the bongos made me feel. A tear streamed down my face for the cymbal crash at the end. Absolutely amazing show. Drill got me lovestruck. More people should check this show out, it's pretty underrated.

[@PuffyOne1898]

Good morning, all EMC morning people!
