oh, where do I start? We had the electric-slide-turned-chicken-dance; the tap dance, bop step and spoken lines (its just a jump to the left and put your hands on your hips) for Time Wrap, the formation of a cell phone, complete with the guard captain answering a fake phone and the band yelling "WHAT?", and that's all I can think of right now. ;D

at an away game this year our junior drum major went to jump off the podium and it fold up on her and she fell in the middle of a game. there are the many butt forms. we are a tradional high step band that do the run on (a double time high step on the field from the sidelines) we had a girl fall during it and the person behind her stop and the line behind them everyone ran into each other.
past shows:: we did a show two years ago were the trombones did a dance in the middle of it. one of the trombones forgot to lock their slide and it flew off during halftime at a game. last year are senior drum major (who was not a cheerleader) did a jumping kick and ripped his uniform pants during a game.

We had a part where it was supposed to be "esoteric" and I played a vibraslap that I had in a pocket on my unfiorm. Well, I had to play my baritone 4 counts after, and NEVER got the thing in my pants in time. It took alot of skill because it was in an odd place on my uniform and I had to use my left hand, which is not my good one, haha. I remember at our first Baldwin competition I got so frustrated that when the low brass went to the front sideline I threw it on the ground, and I was afraid I cost us a penalty, but I didn't. The only show, surprisingly, that I got it in on time, was ACCS, the only one that really mattered, haha.

oh wow, I can't believe I didn't post this yet. it's not marching band, but it was still incredibly odd. for this community band I'm in (which really mainly exists in the summer) we played a Christmas concert, and we played "I want a Hippopatomus for Christmas". well, our bd (who is a bd for a middle school or high school, can't remember) had one of his students dress up in a hippo costume and run down the aisles of the church (where our concert was). it was so weird and the worst part is he never warned us about it. so the flute section had to try not to lose it during our million measures of rest. yeah.

at the end of one of our songs in our 2004 song, we had the most messed up drill ever. first we had to backstep in a really tight box formation super fast. we never made that on time, so by the time we made the line in the back people were starting to move to the final company front. just about every time, the flute section just took down their instruments and ran full speed ahead. it was the only possible way for us to make it, because we had to go from the very back of the football field to the very front in about 4 counts. that was quite interesting, but the judges at competition didn't say anything, hehe.
other weird moments included our dance moves in our 2005 show. some of them were sooo weird. we had to do this weird box step while bouncing up and down, and we had to pop our legs up every once in a while. it looked really dumb.

Uhm, the year before I was in the marching band, they sort of "riverdanced"...that was strange...and they still do it...3 years later. It's entertaining though ;D

hm. well there was this one thing that our BD added, where when we get to a certian part of the show, and we're all standing still, we all do the wave with our plumes down the field. lol except the first time we did it on the football field, i tilted my head the wrong way and ppl saw it and were talking about it afterwards and saying that mine and the person next to me plume had "plume intercourse" ....it was odd.
then the woodwinds had to do this thing where they just swayed their bodies all around it different directions, not mattering what direction, and we always used to make fun of them, saying they looked drunk. haa.

ok this was from last year... we formed a baseball diamond and removed our helmets to show off our radioactive-green glow-in-the-dark baseball caps we had shoved under our helmets.
This year our drummajor is singing while the assistant conducts, and for our Macy's show the guard has stuffed snakes (for Danse Bacchanale)

This year, every other line faces the end zone and we do a high step for 8 counts while marching forward and for the last 4 we slowly turn back again. It makes us look like toy soldiers. We're doing a playtime show.
