actualgirltrombone Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Vaguely reminescent of the incident at BOA SA for CP. Glad they recovered sucessfully and still got first though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euro_euph06 Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Well...after the sound check, the sound system was supposed to reset automatically. And as you can assume, it did not. So when the sound system was started again, it was already about 5ish seconds into the show. The soloist went with it, but the front of the block did not. Drumline came in when they were suppose to. Then when the band came in, the music was about a half page ahead of the drill. The trumpets (being the most ridicously dumb section hands down) actually did something smart. No one played during those four sections (since they have their little fanfare soli by themselves). Thus allowing for the band to make a huge four count recovery. Most of the marchers have gone through this during the previous marching season (Planets) at the LISD Band Night performance. But those who did not march last year (all freshmen and a few upperclassmen) were confused. But hey, we are over it. The seniors graduated (hee hee thats me) are moving on to better things (since there are things to do in life than just marching band/DCI ) and next year's show (from what I have heard) is fantasticall written by Mark Higgombotthom. Its called Fire of Eternal Glory (music of Shostakovich's 10th Symphony and Fire of Eternal Glory. But this is the DCI forum--lets talk about them.

actualgirltrombone Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 CP recovered visually. Mentally.....CP did not. I was speaking of the recovery of the Cadets... obviously, we did not bounce back and get first Hopefully no one has this sort of catastrophe at DCI Finals. J/w, what corps has something like this happened to at a major event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro_euph06 Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Most people remember the BD '89 show and the soloist who royally screwed up for the first time all season. Show was good regardless of that though. 93 Scouts during the Finale---I think Matt Gregg never missed his solo until Finals Night. Is it just me---or was the transfer of the trumpet/bari in the Ballad of the '04 Cavaliers botched? The Pagliacci soprano soloist in Phantom's 91 show had a rought time with his. That is all I can remember at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit? understatement of the century if you ask me. Those solos were awful. Maybe it was nerve or maybe he just had a bad day, who knows.

mbui Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Still...nowhere, and I mean nowhere, as bad as Blue Devils '89.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGqwqpo3Xwk Listen from 4:21-4:55. I feel really bad for the guy. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebellbrass07 Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Oh man that has gotta suck. I guess 89 was just the year of bad trumpet solos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinHorn Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Oh man that has gotta suck. I guess 89 was just the year of bad trumpet solos. Excluding Phantom of course, but man I do feel sorry for the Blue Devils soloist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyboard_Countessa Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Wow, what a reality check: knowing that eveb a high-scoring drum corps can make mistakes. I do feel a bit bad for what happened to Cadet's snareline. The drumline is the metronome of the band/corps, and if something goes wrong with them it could spread throughout the entire ensemble! Like others, I can personally relate; one show we had a couple of years ago our back field drum major started at a different time than the head drum major. That was a mess.

Xukaniz Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Agreed on the trumpet solos of '89, except for Phantom Regiment. That solo is awesome...as most drum corps solos are hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Ngo Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Wasn't there a year when SCV fell apart because they could not hear themselves over the crowd cheering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebellbrass07 Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 That was 82 i believe. I have yet to see a video/hear a recording of that. If anyone has it please pm me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VRHSRangerTBone Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 A bit? understatement of the century if you ask me. Those solos were awful. Maybe it was nerve or maybe he just had a bad day, who knows. The baritone solos (and I think there was a horn too) in the SCV 89 dance movement were VERY good though. Nothing wrong with those whatsover. The trumpet ones? Yes, a lot of crackage if you ask me. As for the Blue Devils show? Definitely the worst screw up I've heard in the DCI world. Poor guy.

GCS-Euph Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Wasn't there a year when SCV fell apart because they could not hear themselves over the crowd cheering? I believe that was the infamous "Bottle Dance" year? Not sure what year it was though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinHorn Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I believe that was the infamous "Bottle Dance" year? Not sure what year it was though. Hmm they've done Bottle Dance more than once, but It wasn't 92 for sure, so I guess it was 82 like the others say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
