Oh, the humanity...

There's nothing sadder than a fallen tuba player.

[Steve]

But...marching backwards while carrying a heavy item is usually so easy.

[Ken Fineberg]

Time to call in the back up tuba section

NC,

I was thinking the same thing. Like a turtle on its back.

Steve,

Marching backward while being a teenager is hard to do.

As a former bandie, I find this awesome. Everyone kept going. They needed to show the next minute - 'cause I bet the formation came back together and finished the selection.

By the way, they aren't Tubas. They are Sousaphones and hard to control due to the weight.

[Loudmouth]

Low blow dominos.

[Bob]

New Olympic event: synchronized sousaphone diving.

[Jeff Meyerson]

The last time I heard that music was in Pee Wee's Big Adventure, which makes it strangely appropriate.

[Meanie the Blue]

Gotta watch out for these sinkholes, man. They're everywhere.

[Not My Usual Alias]

As the videographer for the marching band -- mostly because playing viola did not make enough of a geek -- I respect the lack of laughter from behind the camera.

Back in the day, I was pretty good at getting past security into unauthorized places.

What isn't reported is that this was a memorial event at the tomb of the unknown bassoon.
