In field show this year, there is a set where Me and the other cymbal player have two counts to pass in fount of the snare line (Who are going toward us) and join the line so we can do our feature without cyms. being all in fount and stuff. we practice without drums, but that set is death to the cymbals because we just can't get across and back into the line (Not to mention turn around) in two sets! That set has been lovingly names "Set: Cymbal death"
Anyone else have any interesting tails of near death marching experiences?

Last year we had a few sets named the Suicide Block. The entire band snapped into this massive block and then blasted back on an angle. The step size was enormous, and we were going at 200 bpm. Every time we did it the first day it was introduced, someone, somewhere, fell flat on their a**.
The year before that, there was this one set at the end of the opener where the alto saxes came flying across to the front on an angle, while most of the rest of the band was in straight lines.The people at the front of the line ALWAYS set the angle wrong, and I always ended up in Tubaland, about to get knocked out by one of their enormous bells.

-[ This year we have a part so aptly named 'The Chaos Move'. I'm a very small clarinetist, and I have to squeeze inbetween a saxophone, and an oboe, both spinning and swinging instruments around, swing my own around (we do a weird spin...thing) and somehow manange not to get bashed by the sax, and get to my spot. It's not cool... >w< ]-

Last year there was a set in the last movement of our show where the drumline was moving in a circle and an arch or clarinets was supposed to move through and meet the flutes on the other side. I named it the "Circle or Death" because I was always run over by one of the bass drummers. After a while of this, our director rewrote the set.

we have a set this year where the whole band is in a block and every other line does a box drill going forward at first and the other rows do a box drill starting with a backwards march lol we call it the "death drill" cause it's super fast and super big and if one person messes up, somone's gonna die O_o lol
