oh man, this year at all states, our band has 2 parts where the drumline has big hits just at the end of the peice, the first time, the snares bring our sticks in, the second time, at the very end, we throw our arms down, kinda to empahsize the end of the show, you know. well i got so caught up in the excitement that the first time i threw my arms down instead of bringin my sticks in. of course instead of playing it off like i should've done, i caught myself partly through and brought them in, so it was an obvious mistake. the worst part was i had a close up on our championship dvd right at that part AND our band director decided to show the dvd on a large screen at out holiday concert, soo embarrasing.

I remember the end of my freshman year marching bass. We had just wrapped up our Memorial Day parade, and were walking back to the buses. I decided to take a small shortcut over a persons yard, missed the curb step, and fell flat on face with the bass drum rolling off of me, after of course cracking and ruining the shell/rim. Not too fun when the band director finds out.

My most embarrassing moment would have to be my senior year in high school. I was at Parkway Central for a jazz band festival and I had to blow my nose. I blew my nose towards the trash can and when i looked up, I was right behind the judge of the sight reading section. The whole jazz band was laughing and I felt embarrassed because I was right behind the judge.

my band does a parade throught disneyland every year, and last year i was on the largest bass, which we all know you cant see very well over a big bass drum. so anyways, the drumline was in the middle of the block, and my shoe got caught in one of the train tracks during marching. by the time i got my foot unstuck, the drumline was about 5 yards away from me and i was keeping maybe 10 people in the back. it sucked.

I was a freshman on bass last year in my high school. I was getting off the bus with my bass on and I hit a parked truck. The hit left a big white scratch on the person's truck. The seniors wouldn't stop ragging on me for that all last year. Again, bass drums are bigger than you think.

Last year, I was talking to some one while putting my tenors on. And I guess I wasn't paying attention as good as I thought. And when I went to drop them, haha, they fell. Lucky there were back packs every where. So, they're fine now. Thank god.

I remember one time during practice our tenor players basketball shorts fell down and we where in front of the whole band at the time. He had boxers on though so it wasn't that bad.

Okay... In the Middle of a rehersal One of My tenors took a Dive because she does not Roll her feet( this should be incentive to perfect the Glide step). She was in the middle os a Snake so of course noone saw her... First my best Friend Nikko toof a tumble over her because he was going backwards... i was rolling on the field during the practice because it was so funny. Then. The girl fell AGAIN! and so she then sat the practice out. After we were done, another good friend of mine(plays bass) was walking on the Sidelines trying to get back to the Bandroom. Well since he plays bass he cant see in front of him. So he takes a Spill Straight over the Tenors laying on the Ground. This was by far the Most Eventful Band rehersal i have even peen part of.

i would actually say that rehearsal mistakes are less embarrassing since you know the people, but it sucks a lot more since the people never stop talking about it.
On the other hand, if you make a mistake in front of a really big crowd(disneyland), its more embarrassing.

these are just my opinions though

My most embarrassing moment... the bands marching in and we're picking the pit equipment up. I bent down to pick up the pair of crash cymbals, my back was pointing to the crowd at the time, and my uniform pants split from my butt down to my inner thigh. The stands were full that night too. Another was we had a pep rally at school, and for some reason we were performing our show. Well our band comes into 6 straight lines a couple times, and when we performed it, a couple people fell and basically... domino effect to the entire lines.
