Poor bass drummers. But nothin beats Magics tenor fall last year at finals.

I know this doesn't really relate to dci, but at southern regionals wgi competition last year, a bass from 'merkaba' fell during the last few measures of the show and when he hit the ground the bass drum hit his face and it knocked him out.. . he was on the ground uncouncious for at least 15 minutes before paramedics arrived, he was marching at the next competition we were at...

i remember seeing the scouts bass fall but i didnt see the mandarins. also a scouts tenor dropped his jingle stick.

Jingle Stick.....

That evokes all kinds of bad thoughts.....

I remember finals weekend in 2000, one of the BD snares took a spill. It wasn't on finals night though. Also, a BD guardie took a spill and sprained or broke her wrist and she had to miss finals night. When she fell, I heard the entire stadium voice a collective "ow!".

this really doesn't pertain to this topic and all, but, one time our tenor player was playing his solo in our drum feature last year, and he dropped his mallet. so, he hadta improvise with one mallet. he also dropped a mallet during a drumoff last year. that was pretty funny to me afterward.

my freshmen year i fell backwards over a pile of dirt (like 4 feet in the air) i marched up and, and when i got to the top, it gave way under me, and i flipped backward. stood up and continued the cadence.

I loved marching in the Alamo dome. I don't know why everyone fell that night, but I absolutely love the turf there. The listening situation is a little jacked, but the marching surface was fantastic when I marched it.
