Vegiphobe Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 This year, an alto sax player did a sharp horns down and his neck went flying. That was at finals for TOC too. Also I've seen multiple times, bass clarinet bells actually falling off. Don't ask me how or why though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpd Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 This year, an alto sax player did a sharp horns down and his neck went flying. That was at finals for TOC too. Also I've seen multiple times, bass clarinet bells actually falling off. Don't ask me how or why though. Ooh, speaking of bass clarinets, one time during a rehearsal, the freshmen of the section was having troubles with some of the lower notes. We traded necks and mouthpieces and told him to play on mine, while I fell out and fixed on the sideline. After checking for lose screws (which bass clarinets are NOTORIOUS for) I checked for anything blocking the air stream. Well, I told him to wrap paper around the middle piece because the cork was so bad, at least until the directors could take it in to re cork it. Apparently I didn't tell him that he should replace the paper at least once a week, because that gets thin and nasty. Well, when looking through it, the bottom half including the bell (which the bell was the least of my worrys) fell onto the concrete...totally interrupting rehearsal and getting a few comments. Well it turned out to be fine, and a the paper was blocking some of the keys and air stream. So after I replaced the paper with fresh one (and telling him to replace it more often) the clarinet was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpet of Doom Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Just today at practice my mouth piece when flying out when we did a horn visual, the funny the thing is a set before my mouth piece was dangling out the top cause I guess I didn't tighten it enough. Apparently I didn't tighten it enough twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the terminator Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 We can't have our flipfolders in sight until we do drill team so most of us stuff it in our bibbers, but once during the show it fell through all the way to the leg of the bibbers, and just stuck there like a pad or something and it was impossible to get out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet Master Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 At UIL region my freshmen year, I lost my first valve slide on the horns down at the end of the show, and then picked it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnacado Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Friendswood just got new uniforms this season and nobody knew where to hide their flip folders, so there were like 10 flip folders on the ground after our first show a sousaphone player also dropped his mouthpiece during a parade and had to kick it along until a band director came to pick it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpet of Doom Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 One time at practice we did a horns down and as I was doing it I noticed my mouth piece was dangling, lets just say the person infront of me got a nice whack on the head.

radchad Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I "dropped" my horn because I got mauled by a prop, if that counts. Yeah. It flew 20 yards over while my mouthpiece went about 35 yards over. Not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicaidnow Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I've never dropped my french horn/marching horn but in 6th grade a kid dropped his horn from waist hieght and sat on it. needless to say the bell looked like one of those carnival funhouses with the mirrors.

It flew 20 yards over while my mouthpiece went about 35 yards over. Not fun. lol remember 2 years ago when you and that one girl were doing the horn move (the triangle thingy during the opener) and you went the wrong direction and smashed bells? lol you had like a 5 inch dent/gash in the bell of the baritone. cant believe i remember that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet of Doom Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Let's didn't involve me but involved a quarter of the trumpet section. We had this part in our 2006 show where we did this slightly curved line but hauled **** backwards. Well, a trumpet player fell about two infront of me. Everyone else infront of her, 10+ people. Persisted to trip over her and scramble to get back up. My friend who saw her crushed horn in the carnage picked it up until our band director told us to stop. Thank god it was only a practice, but I laughed my **** off during the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danpod Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I heard Danpod slipped and fell at State on his way to play his solo... But then again a lot of people fell that day. Yes, I fell. Did I drop anything? I did not, unless you count my body. My gloves and gauntlets flew off during the performance at BOA Arlington my Senior Year. I hated wearing those darn gauntlets!
