Maybe it was slanted the wrong way :P

This happened to a snare player in my high school line my sophomore year. We hadn't finished the drill of our show so during the thrid movement when we didn't have any more drill we held the rest of the show... and as we get there, the end snare's drum (a Pearl championship snare in relatively decent shape) falls off his harness right in front of the judge.

The best part was the judges reaction though... he was one of them old-timer guys and his eyes just got really wide and he said "whoops" on the tape.

This wasn't really on the field or anything, but after one of the the pregame shows at a football game, we were going into the bleachers and our freshman snare player acidently kicked our other snare's drum while waking up them and it fell of. It wasn't all his falt though because she never locks her drum and she has troubble climbing and moving with her snare on. She is only like 5'.....

haha yea my rookie year there was a part in the cadence where i had to hold ride cymbals for the snares..so like during the middle of the christmas parade at that part the cymbal strap comes undone and u just hear the cymbal hit the pavement
haha it was hilarious lol

my freshman year during an indoor practice i had this incredibly difficult backward marching set around the pit, and my steps were the incorrect size. so the top bass ended up stepping on my feet, sending me over in a backflip, my drum unhooked and smacked me in the face and the j-bar post stabbed into my leg.
i mananged to roll out of the way before she fell too... but man that hurt more than any other fall i had ever had.
all because of the malfunction of being hit in the face

another one...
during first period band the other day. our gong is held to the stand by a shoe string (cheap stuff... we have nylon rope for our marimbas) and someome bumped the stand and our brand new gong hit the ground. not happy band director

Well, if the band director is dumb enough to allow the gong to be out where it can be touched while being held by shoestring, then I don't think he has a right to be angry at anyone but himself there.

Sup guys this is my first post here soo pretty cool.. Yea back in high school i used to play Trombone, and i remember during a parade one time my old trigger trombone that they had me using .. well the trigger assembly came apart and one of the little screws fell to the ground. i quickly stopped and picked it up because there was no way anyone would have seen it but me, then after almost getting clocked in the head by the tenors i ran back into line.. was great lol
