Last year, during a practice runthrough, I was marching backwards (spinning a flag) and I lost my balance, fell backwards, and pretty much somersaulted. It was really funny. But I didn't get up from it really well, so I was glad it was only practice.
But during my brother's freshman year, there was a guy on bass drum, and he was marching backwards during a competition, tripped, fell, backwards somersaulted, and then got back up. I think points were added because it worked out so smoothly or something.
And then this one time, at band camp... xD
I was running around the field in time with everyone else to warm up (dunno why pit was running though. Especially me, the injured one) and as we were coming to a halt, my foot caught in a pot hole and I totally face-planted.
