Well, our senior quads player was slightly mocking me, and our senior snare player accidentally smacked the quads guy's thumb with a drumstick...he had a funky bruse for a week. XD

LOL. Some you guys' "oops" moments are hilarious!
Our 2005 season, the guard had to turn around and run through percussion. Somehow, I missed and nearly ran into the trombone.
One practice, our director told us to hit him is he was in the way. One of the girls was tunred towards the back and doing half a cone, and smacked him upside the head. The entire guard saw, and the majority of the rest of the band either saw or heard. rofl
I think our former cymbal girl inverted em once.
One of the snares wasn't drumming right, and broke his stick and got yelled at.
I was using a 10-foot flag, and it caught something from the bushes....so when I went to do an over the head flourish, I got pricker bush stuck in my hair.
This wasn't during band....but one of our guard captains was spinning rifle in her backyard, and knocked herself out.
One of our quads (the section leader) tossed a rifle and didn't catch, so it shattered on concrete.
One of our trumpets was putting valve oil in, and he took a flag for a moment (I forget why). He ended up splashing valve oil on the pole, then tried to wipe it off, only it just made it worse.....lol. So that's now the lubed pole, and the three of us that were there can always tell which one it is.
Again, not really band, but....the same quad guy that broke a rifle sat on the art teacher's light table and broke it.
Our director randomly did a headstand in the middle of practice.
One of our drummers cut his hair, and our drum major couldn't recognize him. He was looking at him for a while, then the director told him who it was. Then a minute later, one of the trumpets was like "WHO IS THAT?!"
Oh, and all three (well, 4 total, but some of them are from different years) have walked into doors and signs cuz they forgot to duck. rofl

There's one more -- during our annual music/drama/art/tv production show, we usually have a STOMP section. This year we had 4 -- trash, classroom, desk, and girls + our dorky (and loveable!) drum major. During classroom stomp, the guard captain was supposed to come through a door in the set, slam it shut, pause, then start slamming out a cadence. The night of the show, when she came in and slammed it, the clock we had over the door broke. The clear face part bounced off her head, and the black ring ended up around her neck. rofl She kept going tho, and it turned out great! heart

ok, our guard was called sparklers, and we had to wear this fire-hydrant RED lipstick...anywase, one night on the way back from an away game...I sat w/ my boyfriend...and it was really late, and dark....well, when we got back, I kissed him goodbye and then left...
When I got home, he called me, and his grandparents had picked him up and they went to wendys and walmart and then home...well, while we were talkin he passed and mirror, and said" OH MY GOSH...." and I was like wat? he said, " I'M WEARING YOUR LIPSTICK!!!!!!"
from then on, we made sure I wiped my lipstick off before I kissed him...

okay during a competition oops:
Freshman yr- we were all looking cool because we rock and we stood at attention. it was dead quiet, and i DROPPED MY CYMBAL
Sophomore Yr- Pretty much same set up, but i tipped over the Vibraphone. we couldn't get it to resonate, be we still took 3rd.
It's like a curse now, they're all like "Uh-oh, get EVERYTHING OUT OF HIS WAY!!!" but our band directi=or is like "It's like a good luck charm in disguise."
Oh, and i broke a snare head sophmore year by FALLING DOWN THE BLEACHERS! i was fine, but more people were concrened about the drum anyways.
oh, and there are more. i posted them in "Things a drummer has to do be fore he dies" There all funny. (Yes, i laugh at myself.)

Hm....well this year, one of our gaurd members tossed....a six or a seven or eight on rifle, I don't remember. But it was brand new, and it hit the ground and broke in half. We all flocked over with sharpies yelling "ROSIE! I'm signing ur butt!"
Also, last year, we were marching, and some stupid person decided they were gonna try to run their car through the set. WHILE WE WERE MOVING! Our band director (a really short lil japanese man), usually stands on a 14 ft wall. Well he saw this, got mad, jumped clear off the wall and chased after the car and threw the glock at it. It made a nice dent. Our director loves his band. He'd do anything for them.

He threw the GLOKENSPIEL at the car?
My god, he's worse than our director.
We once almost had to lift all the pit stuff over a fence to get on the football field...for a homecoming song that nobody heard anyway, so it made no difference.

Let's see here.... One of our Tuba's nearly took out a judge once. As a new weapon I nearly took out the entire pit with dropped rifle tosses. Not too mention the fact that my nickname is Goose, for good reason. I have hit myself so many times and gotten so many goose eggs that even people not in band sometimes call me Goose. Let's see, all the tosses I've hit myself with. Speed-spin toss, Horizontal (made the mistake of not getting up and doing it again and now I am mentally incapable of throwing a horizontal), just spinning the flag and hitting myself gave me a goose egg, then there was the TNT toss where you stir the flag in front and then pull it up and behind your head and then toss, while it's still in the air touch the ground, and then when you catch it you turn and catch it behind your back hence the TNT (touch and turn). Plus all the times I've been in a parade and have tripped over the flag because we were doing stirs up a hill. That day sucked...then another parade I took out the innocent bystanders with my saber because the people were stupid enough to write work that made us put our arms all the way out with the saber fully extended from our bodies....yeah, little kids, old people, none were safe from me. I have a big problem with taking people out. But the best by far was when my instructor was sitting on the floor and my friend Mary started doing rifle dropspins over his head and dropped the rifle....on him. That was the best.

Not really oops more like lol, but on the bus at the beginning of the year we were teaching the sevvys our bus cheers and were in the middle of battle cry when I didn't know the name of one of the little girls so I shouted 'Hey You! With the... face! What's your name?' Everyone burst out laughing and the poor girl was nicknamed Face. I still don't know her real name...

not really a 'whoops' moment, but it was pretty funny
>during a practice for the football game songs, the beat is sorta like 'do dodo' 'Hey!" dodo dodo do', one of the drummers (he was a friend of mine actually) made the song sorta go like this:
'Do dodo' 'FSCK!' 'Dodo dodo do' xD sweatdrop
meh, you had to be there I guess... domokun
