One night during spring training this year, our corps director (Denise Bonfiglio) told us about this happening right in front of her! Still a great show regardless. We all still talk about this years later.
"Unfortunately very funny" seems like the perfect way to put it. Especially since nobody got too badly hurt. I couldn't imagine watching that happen right in front of you!
According to Rick Wygant, the soprano soloist (as well as 85-88), EIGHT sops went down. He was the next to go, but the form was changing, and he saw what was happening, so he avoided the pile. 😮
Man, I'm hoping one day I'll get around to making this video. I've only ever marched in high school and thankfully I've never been in a spill. I can't imagine crashing that hard, especially at your home show. I'm glad they got up and continued as best they could.
@@squillz8310 Put this in: the next day was supposed to be a free day. Marc Sylvester took all the marchers and put them into a tight block. He ran them up & down the field at 200 bpm teaching them how to recover from falls. It worked. ✌️
Oooooooo....a vid on the Whitewater Wipeout!! I have a couple of pictures of it, if you haven't finished editing the vid yet. Would be happy to send them to you. But you torture me....I was in Blue Devils in 84 -- my ONLY Jr corps season -- and losing by 1/10th still kinda stings!
Yes! I actually haven't started editing it just yet so please reach out to me via email: bananaman600@gmail.com I'd absolutely love to have a conversation with you about this!
