Looks like muscle fatigue from weight of the Euph. Those things are heavy. If you notice when they instructed low notes at the end (after the excerpt), he immediately lowered his horn to give his arms a break.
@@timothyshell7220 I marched baritone with Star in 1989, and the baris and euphs would have a "party" at the end of rehearsal at midnight every night...we'd do 20 pushups, 20 crunches, then run a lap of the field...repeat three times. By that time the line at the food truck would be down, and we'd be another day stronger. Sometimes the staff would call "horn's up!!" and then take a bathroom break, leaving us there for 15 minutes or so...and no one dared put their horn down...not out of fear, but pride...old school.
@@k.coleman8483 Fist off, huge Star fan! I marched Bari in Boston '09 and Crown '10. At Boston we had the "Ring of Fire", a similar strength building exercise. Wasn't really an issue at Crown because the Yamaha horns are so well balanced. Did you do the alumni corps in 2010?
@@timothyshell7220 By the way, '89 Star was Matt Harloff's rookie year in corps...after '89, the hornline started something during death camp week called the "day of 1000 pushups"...I'm OK with missing out on that one, though at that age I could have sailed through it, lol...
