Look, if your shoe unties, you keep marching. If your shoe comes off in the middle of the field, you keep marching. If you fall, you recover and keep on marching. If your pants come down, you got to keep marching.
My instrument came apart during a performance. The whole end joint was just gone. I had to wait until the com petition was over and go find the trampled remains. But apparently it made a member of another band almost trip, so it wasnt all bad.
It's true. Once a really big black be flew in my friends face and she just stood their not moving at all because we were in attention. SHE'S ALLERGIC TO BEES!
same, they must not take marching band seriously. like we typically start band a month before school starts every day except for Sundays. I don't blame the students, I blame the directors
Nathan Jasper your band director sounds alot like mine although he probably would've made my band the Golden Regiment run like 10 laps around the track 100 push ups 100 sit ups and then probably shoot us in the face although I'm exaggerating sounds like what he would do
Mangle // Bite of 87 No, my Marching Band calls them overalls because they are literally overalls. Not Marching Band Overalls, they're literally just black overalls
In all honesty before they pointed out t his pants fell I thought his drum harness broke. It's not unheard of we had that happen during a performance once.
I come from a band with a 15 piece brass line that smashed hella competitions. Hell we constantly competed in 4a/5a in local competitions consistantly well. That band looks a good bit bigger than mine was and it definitely just not in shape.
While watching a performance at MFA Grand Nationals I saw a judge get hit in the head by a trombone slide. The look on his face was priceless! Also at band practice one time a guard girl tossed a rifle...and it landed on her head. Ouch!
+Liliana Sandberg (faunawhisperer) LOL, as they remind us in my band, if someone is in your spot, you run them over and they won't be in your spot any more...
I was always taught that if you make a mistake, or something bad happens, just keep going. Most of the crowd will not realize what is happening. Props to that bass drummer. Good thing he did not have any drill moves that required long strides.
I'm in colorguard and we were at a competition a year ago and it was about 30 degrees. Mind you the uniforms were not very warm. Anyway everyone in the guard had at least 4 hot pockets shoved wherever and each band member had one in each pocket. We marched a great show and as we were leaving the field there must have been at least 20 hot pockets that have fallen out. The announcer actually said "Salem, I think you forgot something." Anyway the whole crowd laughed at my band director as he ran around the field picking them up.
When I was in high school marching band, we had two uniforms. One for the school year which was pants (not bibbers) and in the summer for competition we wore kilts. Part of our uniform for both styles were suspenders to keep them from falling, but it wasn't uncommon to have a clasp or two fail in a show. We were also required to wear shorts under the kilts, however we had some smart alec members who wanted to be "true Scots" (It was a Scottish themed band) and went commando. We had one routine that started with a twirl and with kilts being pleated, they occasionally would rise a little. One particular show was a little windy and the wind happened to catch the kilt of one of the smart alecs and lifted the entire kilt up to his shoulders, exposing all his "glory".
In my band, girls have to wear short shorts and guys have to wear boxers under their band pants. I had to fill in for my friend on the toms because he had a massive solo with a colorguard guy. I stood there in my bright neon green and purple "Rev Up Your Harley" joker boxers for the whole third movement.
In my Guard, we had to wear a one piece that had a zipper from the right collar bone to the left ankle. So at a football game, I was spinning when I realized the zipper was sliding down. I freaked, knowing I couldn't stop, but at the same time I was NOT going to flash the entire audience. So as soon as the band hit a rest, I reached down and caught the zipper with my teeth and yanked it up, still smiling. That was some scary shit and I was lucky as hell I was able to stop it😂😂😂
Mood, i hate when that happens 😂, last year we had two peice coustumes and we were so used to one peice, so i notice that my shoulder strap was coming down (it only had one shoulder strap) and as soon as the band stoped i nuged it up with my shulder then grabed it with my teeth, nobody noticed except my guard instructor haha
😂😂😂 , one time I we had a kind of dress uniform and we had to wear strapless Bras and when I was marching my bra started sliding down and slide all the way down to my stomach and I knew the show must go on but I was trying to pull my bra back up while marching. Ended up marching that show with my bra on my stomach. Luckily the uniform was not see through so you couldnt tell that my bra was on my stomach 😂
LEFT IS WHEN YOUR FOOT HITS THE DAMN GROUND, LEFT IS WHEN YOU HEAR THIS SOUND, LEFT IS NOT... RIGHT! LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT... I honestly hate hearing that so much at practice it kills me
I am in marching and if something happens while you are on the field, you must not move from your position for it will make the band look bad. That is what my director always taught us, and it has always been that way for many band directors across the nation.
I see all these comments on how horrible this is but the thing is is the video is 3 minutes long so we don't know how far they are in the season and we only see a few seconds of the second movement so they are probably a week or 2 into football season and still working it out all bands first and second football games have kinks awesome BD for keeping going and for Jesus Mary and Joseph THEY ARE CALLED BIBERS NOT FRICK ING JUMPERS OR OVERALLS BIBERS B I B E R S ty
Mike Krystyan it doesn't matter if the season just started. If that's how a band starts their season, it's going to awful. If the show is still not good enough, it shouldn't be put on the field for an audience
So I had this one competition a few weeks ago. I had 2 solos, one before the actual show and the outro to our show. The first one was fine. I got through the entire performance, and we started the outro. I was the only one on the field playing, and every wind player and guard member was pointing at me while kneeling on the ground. I lifted my trombone and started on the high F. It started to double buzz (brass players know what I'm talking about). And so I kept going, and it just got worse. The whole crowd laughed as I took a moment to readjust myself and play the last two eighth notes. My entire band, and the whole crowd just died laughing. It was so embarrassing, I started to laugh. So yea. Good for this kid :D
Gabe Wilson oh God double buzzing is the worst. I tried to play the Star Wars main theme song, but during the second part my saxophone "died" and it was the worst.
jAdamariE broad statement, since it isn't a sport. It is like saying football is math for dumb people. Also literally a majority of the band at my school are insanely dumb
I can relate to this I got hit in the head by a trombone slide I swear it's always the trombones and I was laughing a little cuz my hat fell lol but I kept going. And one time I pulled something in my shoulder when I was marching I got hair in my face and mouth piece it was funny but you gotta keep going on. Highfives to this guy!!
I've been in Marching band 5 years, and I can tell you that if anything happens, just carry on. I don't care if you fall, drop your mouthpiece, lose a shoe or whatever, keep marching. If a judge gets in your way, you're allowed to run them over. :D
Man I hated those judges at PCI Fessssssssssssstivaaaaaaaal of Bands in Eugene, OR. Freshman year I almost narched over a judgebwho unfortunately movd out of my way at the last second. Still clipped him with end of my flute.
+Caroline richardson We had suspenders. Saved this from ever happening! Now losing shoes in the mud? Totally common. I marched over 3/4 of a show once with only one shoe on in the middle of October.
When i was in band, we went to one competition and our lead trumpet fell while marching diagonally backwards, proceeded to catch himself with one arm, push himself back up into marching position, and stayed perfectly in time with the rest of the band. It was so seamless that no one, not even our band director, noticed it until we were watching the recording of it and the judge happened to mention what a nice save that was. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my marching band career. I wish i had it on tape.
That was so nice of them to stop their performance just to help him. He was certainly very brave to just keep on marching because if that happened to me I would immediately stop, put them back on and then continue but I would humiliated and dying on the inside.
I had a pair of marching shoes for 3 years, and they were in such horrible shape. And I couldn't afford to get new ones, so I dealt with them. Until they got into such bad shape that I marched out of them at a competition. Both of them came off during the first movement, and I marched in my socks on an extremely muddy field for the rest of the show. We then had to march back to our warm up area after the performance. Everyone along the way just told them how disciplined I was lol. I was crying because I couldn't stand the feeling of wet muddy socks on my feet haha. But after that competition, (my senior year) the band moms, and the band director all pitched in and got me a new pair of shoes. In which I still have to this day.
Sophmore year I got smacked in the face by a trombone slide at band practice. Senior year at the competition in Corvallis, OSU, it had rained most of the week. Slick soled marching shoes and slick muddy grass do not go together. I have no idea how manybof us fell on that dang muddy field. All I know is I slid the last 10yards or so to my spot on my ass as we were marching to our spots.
i think its kinda fucked up to upload this and ruin that kids self esteem. i mean fuck, if this happened to me it would be the absolute WORST but then if i found out that someone uploaded to youtube and it got a lot of views that wouldnt help the situation at all. this is really mean of you to upload.. really
The strength of a chain is the weakest length. This boy didn't fail and endured to the end to keep the ship afloat!!! I came from a very small school too. May they have great success in their future. Good Job!!!
Last week at our football game, my brother got to the game with my mom at the end of the halftime show. My brother had been at a superhero dance at his nerd school, so he shows up in his Deadpool costume and starts doing the Floss. So I look up within the last 5 sets of the show to see my dancing Deadpool brother and I just start laughing. I think I messed up on some stuff, but it was so funny.😂
Many times cameras and microphones don't catch the full sound, causing some major balance issues. Whenever we listen to recordings of our band and watch videos, it sounds horrible, but somehow we placed second at regionals.
I had marching band rehearsal one windy day and we all had to wear caps to shield from the sun. Mine went flying off at the beginning of the run but I kept going and luckily, the hat wasn’t squashed by the benches ☺️
My senior year at the UT Chattanooga competition, I wore absolutely nothing under my uniform. It was 12 degrees. That would've been the worst time for this to happen.
One time during a run through of our show, the soul of one of the trumpet player’s shoe fell off, and he just kept on marching like nothing ever happened.
When I was in 7th grade I was in marching band. When day we were told that we were going to march down a street for 45 minutes in a parade. Well flashforward to the day and half way through the march some sax player's shoe came off.
Great story for his grandkids some day! Bass drum kid 50 years later: "kids, did pop pop ever tell you the story about the time I dropped trou during a band competition?" Kids: "oh god, here we go again..."
This happened to a girl in my Dad's marching band. zipper on the pants broke (This was the 70's) marched right out of them, didn't miss a step. She was a marching goddess for the rest of the year.
similar thing happened my junior year at band camp. A guy on the drumline who played tenors accidentally got one of his belt loops caught in his harness when he put the drum on and then his pants got ripped off from the beginning. thus, he did the first part of the show with no pants on.
Once during a show bee freaking landed on the hand of the baritone player beside me. It stung him halfway through the second movement. But this guy was Hercules because he didn't even react. He just kept on marching like a machine.
We were in practice one time and these guys came to help. One of them took the color guard to the side and he told us that "No matter what, if you think you have a bad run, look down to make sure you have all of your cloths on." It turns out, a while ago, there was this majorette, viscose was becoming popular, her uniform was made out of that material, and her top snapped and if almost fell down. She held it place with her hand but she had to toss her baton so she thought she could toss and then catch with the other hand. She didn't grab the top in time and it fell down and she had nothing on under it. the judges were yelling to the director to get her off the field but the director didn't notice and the crowd was silent. Their director didn't know what was happening and he was screaming for them and when they finally got her off then the crowd started cheering and he didn't understand why. I thought it was funny I just wanted to share that!
This one time, my slide fell off my trombone while I was marching. That wouldn't be a problem...if that wasn't the single worst moment to lose the slide. I had about 16 counts (not as much time as you'd expect) to be in and out of that set, since one of our seniors (who since graduated) passed through that exact spot 2 counts later, along with 4 other people who had to pass in front of me. So not only was that embarrassing, but also slightly dangerous. Well, obviously not as embarrassing as this, but things can get crazy on the field.
Just a thought: Depending on the type of uniform pants, they may have been held up with suspenders that simply broke. Our high school band uniform pants weren't the "bibber" variety but were held up by suspenders.
This reminds me about a fail that happened to me about a month ago when I had to unhook my neck strap inorder to do a wave. After I clipped it back on, it failed 5 seconds later. I nearly dropped my tenor sax, and I had to play it without the strap for the rest of the show.
Marching band teaches you not only to try to win but also to deal with bad situations . If you can finish your task and hold your head up after a public fail like that you will have learned more than just by coming in first place
This happened to a trombone player in my band as we marched down the track after a football game. He forgot his belt😒. But now he is an excellent drum major.
And this is why band kids deserve lots of respect! 😁 I graduated in 2013 and the only thing I miss from High School was being in band. 😭 #Marchingbandproblems
Back in highschool I was told no matter what happens, unless you fall, just keep marching and just keep playing. Now if the rest of their band could play properly then this video would be awesome. My old band director would go crazy if we ever sounded like that at a competition
Look, if your shoe unties, you keep marching. If your shoe comes off in the middle of the field, you keep marching. If you fall, you recover and keep on marching. If your pants come down, you got to keep marching.
The show must go on!! XD
Lol you comment on like every terrible marching band
Lol you comment on like every terrible marching band

Marching tests you, man. A bee starts flying around all over your face in the middle of marching, you gotta keep your face and horn forward.
It's true. Once a really big black be flew in my friends face and she just stood their not moving at all because we were in attention. SHE'S ALLERGIC TO BEES!
This one time, at band camp, my friend stepped on a bee and had to sit out for a bit.
One person in my band swallowed a fly and kept on playing.
I've had a wasp land on the end of my trombone then slowly crawl up toward me during a hold
+Camaroni1000 i wouldve ran like a little girl lol
The best part is the girl in the crowd shouting "Dedication! You the man, bass drum!!"
Ronak Deepak that was my favorite part
_Angelica_Schuyler_ 1:55

Yess
LOL
my band director would shoot us all in the face if we ever sounded like that or got out of step like that.... even at rehearsal he'd do that....
Same here lol he would have our skin and use to make durums XD
same, they must not take marching band seriously. like we typically start band a month before school starts every day except for Sundays. I don't blame the students, I blame the directors
alexandbeyond Yeah we did too
They're a small band as well.

They're called bibbers.

😂😂

I mean yea they sounded horrible😂
Team Black & White Hey that's rude. They actually sound okay. I've seen bad bands, and this isn't one if them.
LMAO. I love the positive vibes you gave, and then slamming it home with the truth XD
1:58 YOU THE MAN BASS DRUM!
Well played
that man later turned out to be the best bass drum ever lol
+PiGamings really?
JohnnyThe AwesomenessSauceda LOL THAT kID BE SAVAGE LMAO
JohnnyThe AwesomenessSauceda I thought he/she said DO THE MAN BASS DRUM!!!
In all honesty before they pointed out t his pants fell I thought his drum harness broke. It's not unheard of we had that happen during a performance once.
Same
no 😹
I thought he dropped his stick.
I was thinking the same
Stratagem I thought he tripped.
This entire performance is kinda cringey honestly
Well it is a small band so what do you expect? A big flashy show like bigger band do?
Ice Wing the Fox you can be small and still make impressive shows
Nestor Pelayo I guess. Down here in Orlando there's some really good ones
Nestor Pelayo my school is small compared to others around us but we're still better than majority of them
I come from a band with a 15 piece brass line that smashed hella competitions. Hell we constantly competed in 4a/5a in local competitions consistantly well. That band looks a good bit bigger than mine was and it definitely just not in shape.
THEY'RE NOT OVERALLS, THEY'RE BIBBERS, PEOPLE
Sarah Alvarado me and my friends call them Banderalls 😂😂
someone FINALLY gets it!!!
no they’re overalls
poom actually the technical name for them is bibbers.
Overalls, coveralls, bibbers, banderalls, whatever. I sometimes call em "my long shoulder pants".
Dude, about four years ago a color guard threw up a rifle, and it landed on a trombone played and it broke all his teeth.
+Burdurk Damn
+Matthew Matousek yeah i was thinking the same thing at first lol
+Matthew Matousek yesss lol

+sputnick243 If he had to march backwards...oh lord....
+cpdion it's not that hard if you know what your doing
@@cpdion its easier in my opinion
Well, I like how dedicated he was! And it makes me happy that the crowd applauded him for it! You go random bass drum player!
You've gotta give him props. He kept on going through it.

I assume they were ham and cheese flavored? Or pepperoni flagored?
pants?!?!!?!? everyone here in tx use "jumpers" or overall thingies
They couldn't provide any bibbers in his size.
Ian Fullen yeah! thats another word for em. i think thats the actual word.
Yea that's what I wear overall thingies
not in this area of tx lol..

I'm in colorguard and my pants ripped during our state prelims performance. They basically shredded. So half the audience saw my butt.
Impossiblegirl98?? Is that you
That stinks! I bet your section mates got a good laugh out of that one.
+Addie Hazen That's why our band director tells us to always wear black basketball shorts under our uniforms.
Ryuzaki In guard, you can't wear anything under.
You can't wear anything under??? so you have to go commando in order to perform as colorguard?? Not in my school lolll

bruh i remember last year we had sleeveless uniforms, and in the first song my bra strap slipped down and i had to perform the whole show like that 🙂
ah bibbers, so your pants won't fall when you are marching (bibbers are like jumpers)
How are they so off step

Bibbers are the bomb. Until a strap falls off your shoulder...

Mike Krystyan it doesn't matter if the season just started. If that's how a band starts their season, it's going to awful. If the show is still not good enough, it shouldn't be put on the field for an audience
My band is better then this and they just finished they're two weeks of band camp, most of the days practice was cancled becuase of smoke in the air.
this is basically my nightmare. absolute props to that guy for not losing his cool!
So I had this one competition a few weeks ago. I had 2 solos, one before the actual show and the outro to our show. The first one was fine.

Okay but at least they tried, for the people who talk shit about them just leave them alone, that's took guts to keep moving
A lady yells "YOU DA MAN, BASS DRUUUM!!!" at the near end, right after they finish. XD
That's the reason why I either wore running shorts or sweats under my band uniform in case of my pants drop during a field band performance
!😨😱😵
Or your bibs rip. That's happened a few times.
imagine wearing shorts and they fall down
Does your band not use bibbers?
well he earned my respected. the number one rule always keep marching
"You the man bass drum" 😂😂😂😂 as a fellow band kid much respect
I remember this! Thank you for uploading it!
Good for him, if it were me, I would've probably flipped out and just stand there.. Lol
Im in band and this is my first year in marching lol now im scared to death of that happening to me or a friend on the field
Haha. Well I have been in marching band for three years now and nothing has ever happened like this. Lol trust me you'll be fine! :D
Lol thx

Everyone along the way just told them how disciplined I was lol. I was crying because I couldn't stand the feeling of wet muddy socks on my feet haha. But after that competition, (my senior year) the band moms, and the band director all pitched in and got me a new pair of shoes. In which I still have to this day.
Wholesome
"DEDICATION! YOU THE MAN BASS DRUM!" 😂
all bands are suppose to wear suspenders to avoid that.
Well then may I introduce you to the Georgia Bridgemen... ;)
Sometimes suspenders come loose, or just flat out break
proud of the bass drum
“You the man,bass drum!”
THAT MADE MY DAYYY IDK WHY IT’S JUST HILARIOUS
Sophmore year I got smacked in the face by a trombone slide at band practice. Senior year at the competition in Corvallis, OSU, it had rained most of the week. Slick soled marching shoes and slick muddy grass do not go together. I have no idea how manybof us fell on that dang muddy field. All I know is I slid the last 10yards or so to my spot on my ass as we were marching to our spots.
i think its kinda fucked up to upload this and ruin that kids self esteem. i mean fuck, if this happened to me it would be the absolute WORST but then if i found out that someone uploaded to youtube and it got a lot of views that wouldnt help the situation at all. this is really mean of you to upload.. really
Its not like you can tell who it is
Tree Creation but the video wasn't uploaded with mean intent, they only gave props for how professionally this person handled the situation
hard to believe a person called *nigga lol* would say meaningful compassionate shit like this
nigga lol he was wearing other pants underneath, was not he?
Man shut up you liberal modernist.
YOU THE MAN BASS DRUM 😂😂😂
The strength of a chain is the weakest length. This boy didn't fail and endured to the end to keep the ship afloat!!!
I came from a very small school too. May they have great success in their future.
Good Job!!!
In my marching band show, the bass trombonists's slide came out at a major competition and he kept marching and cried afterward.
Well when they say "keep marching no matter what happens" they mean it lol I would've stopped the whole band lol 'RESPECT'
This is why we wear bibbers
Nice to see you back.
I remember that one youtube chat thing I saw you in...
Good times.
Last week at our football game, my brother got to the game with my mom at the end of the halftime show. My brother had been at a superhero dance at his nerd school, so he shows up in his Deadpool costume and starts doing the Floss. So I look up within the last 5 sets of the show to see my dancing Deadpool brother and I just start laughing. I think I messed up on some stuff, but it was so funny.😂
brave dude brave
Oh god PleaseTune -.-
Many times cameras and microphones don't catch the full sound, causing some major balance issues. Whenever we listen to recordings of our band and watch videos, it sounds horrible, but somehow we placed second at regionals.
lol I like how the person up there like a teacher goes to the kid & talks to him about it
As they say, “the show must go on”! I’ve got MAD respect for dude, he just kept going like it was nothing, a true professional!!!!
Y do people have to b so mean?
Bibber time
"you the man bass drum" whoever shouted that in the recording is a legend
I had marching band rehearsal one windy day and we all had to wear caps to shield from the sun. Mine went flying off at the beginning of the run but I kept going and luckily, the hat wasn’t squashed by the benches ☺️
is not funny at all it was an accident
I know right the crowd shouldn't even being laughing at him lucky he was brave enough to Countinue performing
That band honestly wasn't that good...
DizzyGEICO stfu
My senior year at the UT Chattanooga competition, I wore absolutely nothing under my uniform. It was 12 degrees. That would've been the worst time for this to happen.
One time during a run through of our show, the soul of one of the trumpet player’s shoe fell off, and he just kept on marching like nothing ever happened.
This was at my school lol dope and I miss that old field and stand!
omg that was so professional. You juat gotta commit. I applaud you bass drum dude 👏👏👏.you did amazing.
The thing that my band learned is if something drops from you, don't stop and get it, just keep going.
When I was in 7th grade I was in marching band. When day we were told that we were going to march down a street for 45 minutes in a parade. Well flashforward to the day and half way through the march some sax player's shoe came off.
Great story for his grandkids some day!
Bass drum kid 50 years later: "kids, did pop pop ever tell you the story about the time I dropped trou during a band competition?"
Kids: "oh god, here we go again..."
Oh my goodness, are they playing Peanut Vendor? The one with Stan Kenton's Orchestra?
Idk what the show name is but the music is called The Peanut Vendor (El manisero)
This happened to a girl in my Dad's marching band. zipper on the pants broke (This was the 70's) marched right out of them, didn't miss a step. She was a marching goddess for the rest of the year.
Seeing things like this really make me feel blessed to be in the band I was for four years
similar thing happened my junior year at band camp. A guy on the drumline who played tenors accidentally got one of his belt loops caught in his harness when he put the drum on and then his pants got ripped off from the beginning. thus, he did the first part of the show with no pants on.
Once during a show bee freaking landed on the hand of the baritone player beside me. It stung him halfway through the second movement. But this guy was Hercules because he didn't even react. He just kept on marching like a machine.
I would die if a bee landed on me!! XD
We were in practice one time and these guys came to help. One of them took the color guard to the side and he told us that "No matter what, if you think you have a bad run, look down to make sure you have all of your cloths on." It turns out, a while ago, there was this majorette, viscose was becoming popular, her uniform was made out of that material, and her top snapped and if almost fell down. She held it place with her hand but she had to toss her baton so she thought she could toss and then catch with the other hand. She didn't grab the top in time and it fell down and she had nothing on under it. the judges were yelling to the director to get her off the field but the director didn't notice and the crowd was silent. Their director didn't know what was happening and he was screaming for them and when they finally got her off then the crowd started cheering and he didn't understand why. I thought it was funny I just wanted to share that!
Mad respect to this guy. You are brave my good man. Keep rocking
This one time, my slide fell off my trombone while I was marching. That wouldn't be a problem...if that wasn't the single worst moment to lose the slide. I had about 16 counts (not as much time as you'd expect) to be in and out of that set, since one of our seniors (who since graduated) passed through that exact spot 2 counts later, along with 4 other people who had to pass in front of me. So not only was that embarrassing, but also slightly dangerous. Well, obviously not as embarrassing as this, but things can get crazy on the field.
Just a thought: Depending on the type of uniform pants, they may have been held up with suspenders that simply broke. Our high school band uniform pants weren't the "bibber" variety but were held up by suspenders.
My friend marched half our show with one shoe once because he got flat-tired. He never even looked back until we stopped.
This reminds me about a fail that happened to me about a month ago when I had to unhook my neck strap inorder to do a wave. After I clipped it back on, it failed 5 seconds later. I nearly dropped my tenor sax, and I had to play it without the strap for the rest of the show.
Marching band teaches you not only to try to win but also to deal with bad situations . If you can finish your task and hold your head up after a public fail like that you will have learned more than just by coming in first place
This happened to a trombone player in my band as we marched down the track after a football game. He forgot his belt😒. But now he is an excellent drum major.
I love the way he stops and looks down for a second tries to pick them up then continues marching
for those wondering, the song they were playing is called The Peanut Vendor.
At competition, right before we marched on the field, I hear a metallic clunk noise. I glance down, then realize it was my trombone slide!
And this is why band kids deserve lots of respect! 😁
I graduated in 2013 and the only thing I miss from High School was being in band. 😭
#Marchingbandproblems
Back in highschool I was told no matter what happens, unless you fall, just keep marching and just keep playing. Now if the rest of their band could play properly then this video would be awesome. My old band director would go crazy if we ever sounded like that at a competition
