A note: if you trip while in a line heading backwards, immediately get out of the way. Whether you gotta roll or scoot for dear life, just try your best to move
Just thought I’d let you know how much I appreciate this comment. I just fell and my run though and it was the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done,, but knowing that you can see getting up positive really helped me :)
Right, sometimes people don't understand that, if you fall, the run keeps going. We don't stop. If you're on the ground, you're gonna get run over. I've seen somebody try to stop a full run in a rehearsal because another person had fallen, and they ended up confusing a fair amount of people because they shouted stop pretty loud, and they also had a similar voice to one of our directors.
@@Grace-mj1is ikr! Before Bands Of America, nearly every night I’d have nightmares about one set where I was really close to the pit, and I’d have different nightmares about tripped over a Glock, or bumping into the glock, or slipping on our Follow The Leader, and I’d have nightmares about having to roll out of the way so nobody tripped over me
Seriously how do trumpet players fall. I've carried quads for 5 years and have never collapsed like these people. Tripped? Sure. But never eaten dirt so badly.
@@beterwithab Not hard to march with a light object in your hands. Much more difficult to march with 45 pounds pulling you forward. It seems to be a skill difference, as drumlines typically work and train harder.
There was a fail in my band once. To keep their anonymity I’m going to use drummer and field commander (who was also a drummer) Drummer: Hey field commander, my drum isn’t working. Can you take a look at it? Field commander: yeah. Looks like it’s out of tune. The drum imploded when the field commander tried to tune it. It. Fucking. Imploded.
He tried to run with a tanner drum set. Those are too heavy. The bass drum is lighter and chest level, the other is at the waist. Um, of course he’s going to fall
I could sense that the second dude wasn't marching correctly. If the field is muddy or slippery and you don't roll step or march correctly you will fall.
the marching Geese were adorable...soooo sweet....as for the student punching holes in the instrument was not funny at all...shame on you for including this behavior in your video...you should have known better...
