Mike_L Registered: 01/27/06 Loc: Springfield Oregon, USA	Hahaha, wow. That was awesome. No, I've never had a hardware malfunction during a performace. The only thing close would be my sticks being the wrong way in the stick bag during a stick change. _________________________ Thurston High School 05-06: Bass 2 06-07: Tenors/Bass3 07-08: Snare 08-09: Snare - Section leader Corps 09: Snare Auditionee at Oregon Crusaders

ChiefontheDitty Registered: 04/02/05 Loc: Tennessee	My sophomore year of high school one of the others snare players was marching forward and the snare just completely fell of the harness and rolled around. Pretty funny at least. _________________________ It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.

SkyDog Registered: 12/29/05	Anyone who's been around the activity long enough has probably seen some pretty good hardware failures. The Cavalier one might be the most entertaining I've ever seen, though. A corps I was in had a kinda similar hardware failure during a show once. A j-hook receiver snapped off one of the tenors. Since only one of them broke, the drums spun around on the harness kind of like the Aimachi spinning tenor stand thing. It might've been a really cool visual if it didn't nearly fling the tenor player to the ground! He managed to stay (mostly) upright and get off the field safely. Thankfully he was close to the front sideline at the time.

Thankfully he was close to the front sideline at the time. The same thing happened to us at WGI prelims in 02 when a quad player got caught up in the floor. The rig swung around so fast the poor guy was helpless. More than one person went down and we never recovered enough to save our spot at finals. For the record, the hardware that failed was mid 90's Premier stuff. _________________________ DCI, DCA, WGI, done it all in some form.

Font Registered: 12/27/04 Loc: Miami, Fl	None for me that I can remember. I remember at WGI 06, seeing a group playing some sort of prayer or faith-based show. West Athens, I THINK. Well, their third bass, a really young looking kid, was running around, performing, all that . . . Next thing I know, the kid is on his back, and the bass drum rolls over his face and unhinges from the hook latches. Poor dude's laying on ground, crying, for like six or eight seconds. Finally he gets up, puts his drum on, and finishes the show. Ballsy little bastard he is.

Mannineaux Registered: 03/16/07 Loc: Slidell, Louisiana	Haha, I've never had them just fall off, but I fell once and my snare kind o just rolled down the street a little bit. Itwas pretty funny, but I've never had any hardware malfunction. I know that they use different harnesses than other corps. Most people, schools, corps I know use May. Theyyyy don't use that. _________________________ Slidell High Drumline Freshman 06' - Tenors Freshman 07' - Snare (Mardi Gras) Sophomore 07' - Snare (Asst.
