one of our old bass drummers passed out once..and to top that off i think it was at a competition but im not sure

one of our snare players (section leader) forgot to bring his snare to contest one time so we put him in a sling and said he had just broke his arm earlier that day.
also; a tenor player was running to set one time, fell down and managed to scrape almost and inch of the bottom of the shells. all anyone cared about was if the drums were ok.

I've seen plenty of players forget carriers (mostly basses for some reason) to games. Gotta try to cut your losses and tell him to look good on the field.

just before christmas parade, just before linign up, middle bassdrummer cracked the bottom of his harness, and it was stickin him all of 2 miles, and my trombone broke... kinda, and finally at, "MEET THE JACKETS" the center snare, while tapping off the feild, broke a stick, and it went flying like 4 feet to the side

I've heard horror stories of snare players snapping sticks on the rim and having them fly off into the hornline.

Breaking sticks happened my freshmen year of high school. A bass drum player broke a mallet during a practice, and a snare player also broke a stick during the song "Tide Is High".

we broke 1 stick warming up before a game and then another marching in on the same night. both were bass sticks.

also if i remember right a snare broke a stick into 3 pieces in the stands and our tenor player at the time busted a head or two

lol wow.. was that the end of the show or was there more? that would be so embarrassing if that happened to me in a show, i wouldnt know what to do. hahah. i've never had something like that happen before and i hope it never does happen. the closest to a malfunction like that was when my carrier broke and my drum almost fell right before a performance. lluckily, someone had an extra carrier nearby that i could use.

during a parade one time our end tenor's j-bar snapped off and his drums swung around and hit the center tenor and then went crashing to the ground

going along with the Cavies tenor falling off... during the toledo all-star reveiw show did anyone else see the cadets snare player that hit the prop and his hardware snapped and left him with half of the snare hanging off?
