Has anyone ever had there tenors fall off your carrier during a show?

ive never heard of something like that happen, but geeze, thats got to suck so much. what would you do if something like that happened when u marched?

well it's not good. That happened to me last year in a show and i had to play with one hand.

Did you still do good? My BD always says "Its Not how u mess up that counts, its how you recover"

During BOA in my junior year, we were at the very end of our show. Basically, all our drums rose up and on the down beat, we would all come down at the same time. Well, one of our female tenor players came down a little too hard, causing her carrier to break in half. The funny part is that since the lights were beaming down on us so bright, it made her tenors show falling VERY WELL on video.

well not really...lol,but it looked cool on the video

My freshman year, it was the middle of the marching season, and it was the slow part of our closer, and the snares and tenors pull their drums up, well, for some odd reason, when I pulled mine up, the drum came off the carrier.....and we were only 7 counts from where we come in, I was rushin as fast as I can to put it on before we turned around. Gah, that was so embarassing......'Least my friend from the other band didn't make a comment about it....It sucked big time...

I've had my tenors fall off of my stand during my locally televised solo before...I almost collapsed a few seconds later from dehydration.

did you recover ?

I had my snare fall off during band camp last year. In one part of the show we flipped our drums up. When I did, it came off the hooks, so, when I flipped them down it hit me in the shins and fell to the ground. It hurt.
