Yup! When I was in high school my marching band director told us don’t stop marching for anything, if I have a heart attack and fall, March over me! I was in percussion (played cymbals during marching season) and during send offs when we marched down the hallway we were encouraged to, and did so, elbow students out of our way when they got too close in the hallway!
@@d.pression7502 He kept going like a pro, and that constitutes a success, not a failure. It would be a failure if he had stopped or faltered, but he didn't. 😊😉
you look at his pants @@d.pression7502, i'm looking at a kid swinging around 22 lbs of $6600 worth of tuba with one hand well keeping his drawers up and hitting his dots well even playing a couple of notes, color Me impressed 😳😂👍🏽🌴
We had four bari's each year I was in h.s! It was awesome. Only two ever marched them. I couldn't march it though due to the weight and we did a fast carry entrance like the Michigan State band (early 2000s). I loved marching alto but was soooo geeked when I got to get back in the Bari section lol.
You didn't create heaven God did. Don't say that and don't joke about heaven. Why would you mention anything about heaven which is involved in Christianity if you weren't Christian anyway? Heaven and hell is real don't joke abt it.
This is the exact OPPOSITE of a fail. He never got off step and didn’t miss any of the visuals the whole time, you kidding me?!? That kid is a legend for keeping his composure!!
My man kept it together, stayed in time, kept the formation, made a lil "yeah well . ;) " head nod.... This is no fail. This man overcame adversity and nailed it.
Respect for the Contra player. Kid probably preformed better than some of the Contras in DCI with his pants falling down. That isn't a fail that's a win.
As the mom of a former marching band kid, this young man would have gotten into trouble if he would have stopped during the drill. These kids work incredibly hard and put in many long hours to perfect their routines - great job, buddy!
He wouldnt have gotten in trouble if he kept his pants up. I marched in HS and college for 8 seasons and trust me, its not that serious in practice.@@I_Tomato_Corn
I love this….He’s human. Haven’t we all had our pants fall at some point in our lives? He just keeps rolling with the punches! Sign of a winner! Kudos to him!
This would have been a fail IF he was using a Sousaphone. If he was, he wouldn’t have been able to hold his pants, and keep playing at the same time, because the hand he was using to hold his pants would have to be the one he uses to press down on the valves, allowing him to play the notes to the song. This isn’t a fail, he did good, he kept marching and stayed on beat. He did everything we’re supposed to do in marching band.
I didn’t see it the first time either, I had to replay to see what I missed. At least he had another pair of shorts on. Also, he kept his composure and didn’t miss a beat (step). 👏
As someone who literally had their cargo shorts rip right down the backside before comp day rehearsal and had to march in them for a while exposed, I salute him. 🫡
There was this one time during practice our mellophone player ripped her pants. And our alto sax player would roll up the bottom of his shorts because he wanted the upper part of his leg tanned like the rest but it would be horrible because one time our mellophone wasn’t there and when I marched backwards for the first movement all I could see was so much of his legs😭
Wow that was AMAZING. Totally NOT a fail. He was confident and knew all his counts. I'm in my 2nd year if marching band and this is what our band needs to become.
It happens to every big boy tuba player at least once. Same thing happened my second year. You just sweat so much you lose just enough to make those comfortable shorts come sliding down
Feel this. Literally had this problem once in marching band. I wore shorts that needed a belt if i was running or biking or marching, and i forgot it. Had to pull up my shorts multiple times during practice reps.
Work an instrument that big in your way and having to play it while marching takes incredible skill i was never the greatest at marching band but he knows what he’s doing just takes practice and dedication
My marching band uses Sousas instead of these, and I didn’t know they were one handed so I was expecting it to drop the entire time that I didn’t realize his pants fell
As someone who was in band, I got told that "if anything falls, the show must go on" What this guy did, he didn't missed a beat and he did it to the end
Fello band kid here, my school's marching band is a military band so I don't know much on this marching style but to me it looked awesome, keep up the great work!
@@kiytheghost371I’m trying to get my teacher to let me use my bari because we don’t have one and it’s the instrument I wanna play the most but she says no (mainly because she doesn’t need it or smthn and I’m only in 7th grade lol)
You know how good this was? I play the Tuba and I was so enamored by his control and timing that I didn't even notice what happened until I read the comments and watched again. 12/10.
There was one rehearsal last year where one of our senior euphs has his pants fall down right on our last hit in the show. Low brass was dying for the rest of the rehearsal lol.

Sure enough. Show must go on. He's a consummate pro. Good job, homey.
Having marched tuba for seven seasons I can assure you that this is not a fail. Golden, yes. Fail, not even close. Brilliant save, I'd say.
hi
@GeorgeZen.-pe7dh hey
L😅old hood to me those kids work there, but
@GeorgeZen.-pe7dh no, it’s a marching tuba
@GeorgeZen.-pe7dh "bagle " anyways yes it is a contrabass "bagle" but they are also known as marching tubas
That is awesome - he didn't miss a beat or a step. Wardrobes can fail, but you carry on. This is a true performer! Well played!!!
FOUR BARI SAXES!?!?!? this is my own personal heaven

@@stephkg84 First thing I thought. I had an gangleon cyst on my wrist the whole time I played tenor. I can't imagine marching with a baritone.

You must have missed the bit where his shorts fell down

Your man? Not cool, he identifies as a pregnant woman‼️✅💯
Her pronouns are They Them 😎
it says fail because his shorts were falling off while he was walking
The fail: not wearing a belt.
Suspenders work well for larger dudes, too, and are lend a certain "style."
C'mon! Totally not a fail! This guy's awesome performance and dedication outshined "the pants situation."❤

Atleast he had them back up shorts😂
@@Foe_Nem Thank God! 😂
Literally no never. That's what belts are for.
@@jamesjarrettt3995 no one marches with a belt. I say just wear the spandex
Mine fell halfway on our last hit the day before BOA San Antonio
No fail here, just a minor wardrobe malfunction. This kid is awesome for his commitment to the performance! 👏🏻🙌
#lovemarchingband
I didn't even notice that until I saw your comment and re-watched the clip . Honestly, the guy did a fantastic job.
It’s always the freakin tuba section 😂
This is no fail, this man is a legend
I’m not gonna lie, he kept his composure so well that I didn’t even notice his shorts had fallen on my first watch through
NAH SAME 😭
I loked to his legs in the end and was like "Weird pants, eh" then watched again and noticed it was his shorts, falling off 💀💀💀💀
That's only because you're a brain dead drooling idiot
It was my first like 5 watches 😭
Same!!! Only after reading the comments I realised!
Gotta give him credit. He didn't miss a single step, kept his composure, and still did the general effects while his pants didn't want to cooperate.
…nobody gonna notice how the drumline was throwing it down??🔥🔥
Factsssss they were cleannnnn
Shit was immaculate
Drumline gaaaang 🤘🏻
Pretty mid tbh
Drum line gang be rocking out.
Definitely not a fail, but a complete success. Congratulations my boy, overcoming adversity and not letting anything stop the music

Sousaphone? Did you mean saxophone?
@@Thetastycookies7 no sousaphone is a real instrument search it up..
@@Squared-gi9kt bro what is that 😂
I didn't even notice the drooping pants and thought he was gonna drop the contra 😂
SAME! I WAS SO READY
He was like wobbling that thing.
Exactly!
I didn’t see it the first time either, I had to replay to see what I missed. At least he had another pair of shorts on. Also, he kept his composure and didn’t miss a beat (step). 👏
He didn't fail, bc he kept up with the show
Bro was ready with them extra gym shorts 😂🎶
Facts
Not his first rodeo!
Lol yes but in marching band we wear them to change into our uniforms
@@mr.giraffe77yep
Why didn't he just wear the gym shorts tho
Pit and Drumline going off, I didn't even notice that the Uba player was going through it
That was epic. And that face he made at the end was absolutely priceless. I wish this young man all the best. He seems to be a really great guy.
slay to him for staying in performance and acting like nothing was wrong! it takes guts to just ignore your pants falling down
Had happened to me before. Still committed to the body and marched well. Great memories.
This man was dedicated to the cause. He did not let his team down even when it may have cost him personally he gave it all.
Dawg I swear every band player is built like their instrument😭🙏
That look of
“Well, it’s not good. But you got to do what you got to do.”
Bless his heart ❤️ he is a true professional. His expressions were adorable ☺️
Drum line was immaculate, scrumptious even
I was so caught up in the performance, I had to rewatch to see what the issue was.
Me too! All I heard was great skills and saw neat formation. I never noticed the shorts till I read other comments
I know! They are really great!
To be fair, he played it off well enough that I didn't even notice it the first time.
The tenors were absolutely sprinting in the back
As someone who literally had their cargo shorts rip right down the backside before comp day rehearsal and had to march in them for a while exposed, I salute him. 🫡
You bet dude!!!!
Playing Contra is a full body commitment. I feel you bro 😂
He's killing this. Not a fail at all. Got the choreo and the horns moves. Didn't miss a step off or a visual.
There was this one time during practice our mellophone player ripped her pants. And our alto sax player would roll up the bottom of his shorts because he wanted the upper part of his leg tanned like the rest but it would be horrible because one time our mellophone wasn’t there and when I marched backwards for the first movement all I could see was so much of his legs😭
This was success, not failure. I’d probably fail it, because I can’t seem to remember half of the stuff
This was a win. Didn't trip, kept formation, and smiled as if nothing was wrong and it was all part of the performance. 10/10 ❤️
This is not a fail. It is success!
Well done young man!
Haha that shrug.
Wow that was AMAZING. Totally NOT a fail. He was confident and knew all his counts. I'm in my 2nd year if marching band and this is what our band needs to become.
That dude is my hero. Always continue with the mission. Not a fail but a true success.
Well..he didn’t miss a beat. 😂
Or a step. True hero.
He carried on for the band and not his pants lol true marching student 💕
Huge W for this kid, he held on for dear life and didn’t miss a beat 🫡 a true band kid
I thought he was gonna slip, not his pants falling down 😭🙏
You failed to acknowledge that this is nothing but pure dedication and awesomeness!!!!!
This dudes a champ. There’s no fail here
Got to love his commitment
His facial expression was like: “Oh well 🫠”
I love how kind everyone is in the comments about this hahah
Dude cared more about the band than himself. That's who I would want in my band!
Love how he is not super embarrassed and just kinda goes with it, so much confidence
I wonder if it's happened to him before. _Spandex_ makes things on top it slip. *Suspenders* would've kept his cargo shorts up.
Bruh he was so smooth I genuinely didn't notice until I read the comments. Wow.
Big fella committed and saw it through, more balls than most. That's a win, good job mate 👍
I didn’t notice what had happened at first😭
Love this guy man ! Nothing fail about this . He made a smirk and was like oh well the show goes on 🎉❤😂😊
From one tuba player to another, that’s no fail. That’s a win
Dude. As a fellow tuba player, i have two things to say.
One: I am so jealous y’all have contras.
Two: Way to friggin go!
That commitment is crazy, great job 😂
It happens to every big boy tuba player at least once. Same thing happened my second year. You just sweat so much you lose just enough to make those comfortable shorts come sliding down
He was like "Welp here we go"

bro did exactly what youre supposed to do if something goes wrong; keep going no matter what
Poor guy! And props to him for not stopping! The show must go on!
No failure here. He did well given the circumstances. He understood that the show must go on. 😂😂
Work an instrument that big in your way and having to play it while marching takes incredible skill i was never the greatest at marching band but he knows what he’s doing just takes practice and dedication
fail aside, this is such an amazing band! they sound and look awesome!
If he didn't miss his dot during this then he'll never miss his dot lol
My marching band uses Sousas instead of these, and I didn’t know they were one handed so I was expecting it to drop the entire time that I didn’t realize his pants fell
They are Not one handed. The left Hand holds the Tuba and the right Hand uses the valves
Wow! Your very talented! I’ve just started playing the clarinet and still taking lessons on the daily! Hopefully one day I’ll achieve your skill!
That's the opposite of a fail! Excellent job young man! No matter what happens, keep playing!
I CALL THIS A WIN. BUDDY KEPT AT IT AND WITH THE SAUCE
That's not just winning, that's overkill. Kids a damn hero.
Only thing that's overkill is how much he is eating.
Well at least he had some on underneath! Lol His face at the end was like WELL! I tried. 🤣😂
Gotta say marching on a parking lot is relatable
True showmanship at its finest. Didnt miss a god dang beat my guy!!!
As someone who was in band, I got told that "if anything falls, the show must go on"
What this guy did, he didn't missed a beat and he did it to the end
The way he didn’t stop tho- bravo👏
All marching band kids have made that face at least once.
AAAAA++++ the show MUST go on.. And he pulled it off perfectly!! 💙
Fello band kid here, my school's marching band is a military band so I don't know much on this marching style but to me it looked awesome, keep up the great work!
Did I just see 4 different baritone saxophones that’s freaking awesome I wish I got that
Yeah lol there’s at least 4 which was awesome our band only has 2

aye as long as the marching is good you’re golden i didn’t even notice what the fail was at first 💀
Holy shit, my band would have both been laughing and patting him on the back for doing so well despite it.
That drum brake was fire!!! 🔥 What high school is this?
Okay but everyone's marching was fantastic. I wish our band could march that good😀
