Not super cringy, but one time in Drum Corps we were all showering and I found a spider in the shower. Well, I began to bless the spider with a golden shower and pretty soon 5+ other dudes waddled over and joined me in the showering of this poor spider. Good times man.
@@g0ne520 legit, but spiders suck
BOYS’ LOCKERROOM:
That's legit
Took me a minute and thats pretty weird
Th fuck
The pause in the beginning after you said "I'm awkward" 😂😂😂
Yes😂
I thought it was my WiFi lagging again
One time is was leaving practice and I waved to my friend as I turned around, I accidentally slapped my drum major on the thigh. This was freshmen year. I died inside
... and that's how you ended up going to prom with the drum major? --- just kidding, I could see that being pretty embarrassing..
That's awesome😂so they were on the ladder?
James Thatcher lol I wish. She actually marched Boston last summer. She didn’t like me very much.
@@benrosasco2667 that's ok... most DMs didn't like me either... the important part is to just try hard and have fun, otherwise what's the point?
I'm a sophomore in high school, and I accidentally slapped one of the freshmen (this was in orchestra). Whoops.
"im awkward"
we know. thats why we watch you lmao
😂
It’s nice to be with your own awkward kind
I want to like your comment but its at 69
It's my freshman year of high school and I'm marching 4th bass. First home game of the year, we're just in shorts and t-shirts because it's Florida and it's still hot when football season starts. We go out for half time, just do our first song as that's all we've gotten down at that point and march off the field. Then we all turn to the right and start walking back over to the band seats. Next thing I know, I'm on the ground, my bass has come off, and a flute player is screaming. And I've got a big cut on my shin. Being unable to see anything over my bass, I walked straight into the box that the coaches plug their head sets into. Ended up needing 15 stitches to close it up.
On Monday back in class, we're watching the video tape of half time and we get right to the end and it's been paused. The Band Colonel goes up, starts it playing again, points me out, and goes "And... there goes George..." and the video ended literally right as I started falling down.
Freshman bass 4 gang 👌🏼🤙🏼 and I tripped over a drum major stand on the way to do cadences in 4th qtr with drum on, not nearly as bad as yours cuz I ran into bass 3 and could stay on my feet, but I still cut up my shin lol, just wanted to reply cuz of the huge coincidence
What band
I have a story of one if the percussionists in my band he was playing bass for the Veterans day parade and tripped over a fire hydrant and rolled down the hill just want to put that out there😂
I was bass drum 3 for my freshman year of high school, while we were marching off the field after our pregame show, I couldn’t see over my drum, where there was a tire from an earlier football practice. I tripped over the side of the tire and fell in, drum first. Luckily, I was on the far side of the field from the main stands, but everyone in the visitor stands got a clear view.
I was 3rd bass and tripped over the football bench at a home game. Packed house. Bass went flying... SMH ROFL this was 21 years ago. Still good memories. :D
"Blasting a duce"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 also I love the bus band director he's a pretty spicy looking dude
Gotta love Chip eh?
Chip tOOOth
*deuce
My 2nd year of marching band, we marched in the Memorial Day parade. As we started down the hill, my band director (really big and chunky guy) tripped and started rolling down the hill. Luckily, we were near the end of the parade route so not a lot of people saw, but those of us band members who did see it happen had a hard time trying not to laugh
Lmaoo
last story made fucking laugh in hard in the bathroom broo. Everyone in the bathroom said “you good man”. Thanks that was awkward lmao
I just had a seizure trying to read that
Daniil Oxyuk sorry, English is my 5th language

Oh no... :( I can only imagine your pain for the last one
For my junior year homecoming week, one of the costume themes was Soccer Moms vs Grill Dads. I dressed up as a grill dad. One of the seniors (his name is Dominic this is important for later) had dressed up as a soccer mom, and he had really gone all out. He wore a wig, a stuffed sports bra (huge honkers btw), and two small spherical beanie objects in his pants for his butt. He comes in and starts a conversation with some people and the assistant band director walks in and is like “look, I hope you won the settlement with the plastic surgeon”. God that was so funny. The main band director come out of his office, stares at him for about 12 seconds trying not to laugh, and the only word he uttered was “Dominique?” LMAO. His girlfriend called him Mommy Dommy the whole entire day and it was so freaking funny.
7:09 That is literally my high school’s band room, made me do a double take 😂
Bridgwater raritan regional high school??
Theo Anthony yep!
@@jasonkirshner I knew it, I had my region and All-state reading rehearsals there
Theo Anthony Yep, I was there too
@@jasonkirshner what instrument and ensemble?
Thanks for the shout out Eric! My pleasure to help. Btw, most awkward story for me has to be my first summer of DCI in 2008. We were in Michigan City, IN and had just returned to the school from our rehearsal field. We were in the middle of doing some visual exercises in a hallway at the school when a tornado warning went out due to a severe thunderstorm in the area. With this, our drum major ordered us to go to the basement of the school where the locker rooms were so we all went downstairs, guys in the guys locker room, and girls in the girls locker room. When we got down there, I started getting really nervous for some reason to the point where I pulled out my phone and started calling my parents to tell them what was going on. Got a lot of awkward looks from everyone in the room....
1st comment
I got hurt so I got switched from trumpet to pit, and now I respect you as a percussionist even more. I’ve had to learn an entire show for a BOA event in 3 days. I’ve learned a lot about percussion in the past few days.
Depending on what instruments you played in pit, that's gotta be the most stressful 3 days of your life
Your last one reminded me of something-
My friend came over, and I needed to go to the bathroom, and apparently SHE DIDNT HEAR ME
And so I was doing my business and she runs all over the house looking for me then sees the bathroom door closed
It was daytime so I didn’t need the light on, and guess what?
She kicks it open.
That was the most awkward 30 seconds of staring I’ve ever had in my life
You stared at her, for a solid 30 seconds, with no words being said? I would've collapsed of heat exhaustion.
@@Herobryce1075 I would’ve just fell over dead
Random gong lick?
Yea! Or random marracca lick
Random tam-tam lick.
@@lifeontheledgerlines8394 if they don't have a gong. Don't worry, I know there's a difference between the two
Random timpani lick?
Random ice cream lick.
8:00 - probably the reason you didn't need a CDL (commercial driver's license) is because the truck was probably single axle in the rear. DOT only requires a CDL if it's a rear multi-axle truck and under (I think) 40' ...
James Thatcher it all depends on what weight the truck is rated for and if it has air breaks or not
@@Alanb6 I thought it had to do with the number of axles as well....
@@Alanb6 huh... TIL....
More axles you have more weight you can haul
Wha
That dividerless toilet one should've been #2
OMG Eric. Was killing time at work and trying to be subtle about it because my office is full of people. Totally got busted while laughing like hell at this. Nice vid.
I couldn't even cringe at the last story because I was too busy laughing
My section leader is the most awkward person to ever live so I’m gonna make sure to send this video to her.
Drumline section leaders are interesting humans😂in a good way lol
Leigh Dles facts
@@fizzylemonleaf as a alum drumline section leader I can confirm, we r indeed very “interesting” beings.
#2 was hands down the funniest one and I am dying of laughter XD
One time during indoor season, I accidentally rolled my ankle while crabbing and fell over, and I was directly behind the set player when this happened, while everyone else saw me fall, my director told me afterwards he thought I had just forgot where we were stopping because I was behind the drummer, and I just sit there thinking, dang he didn't hear the drum fall either?
Stevie T's brother is a drummer?
That's hilarious 😂
Who can Djent harder 20 sting guitar or Bass Drum 6?????
Bass drum 6
😂
Michael Kirk Lmao thas rite 😎
Our drum senior told me about the time he was in pit and they had nothing to do so they built a shrine around a coffee cup, then proceed to worship it until our director said "pit, play your part" then eventually got a very angry glare since all the equipment was surrounding a cup
I was in pit last year and I wouldn’t doubt that something like this happened in pit. Like pit sits out a bunch during rehearsal and, in my pit, people would do funny dances and take pictures of each other until our director told us to start playing lmao
Great! Perfect! That was wonderful, you’re done! Let’s get you out of here !
Go
GO
GET OUT
*GET OUT!*
I couldn't stop laughing more than once. Thanks for sharing those moments with us.
One time, i was at a golden coral, and I was going to the bathroom, snd I was really tired. I open the bathroom and turns out it's a women's room. I swear I saw a whole sofa lol. It was awkward
Great stories! It shows the difference between drum corps in the last 20 years vs drum corps when I marched in the early 90s. When I marched, they probably would not set times and just had us all shower together.
I HATED the bathrooms with no doors on the stalls. If I had to poop, I'd try to go in the middle of the night when we stayed at those schools.😂
This was one of the best videos I've ever seen. Thank you!!
I was marching in the Magic Kingdom parade at Disney World and my clothespin became undone holding my pants up. I had to play one handed while my pants up the whole damn parade... I never heard the end of it for a week. lol
I was walking off the field after a rehearsal, and this kid yells "watch out!!" but i didnt know he was talking to me, and my next step, i flattened his trombone because i couldnt see over the top of my bass drum. the band director picked up the trombone and face palmed as i kinda tip-toed away like i didnt do anything
"He's blastin' a DEUCE" lmao
18:35 did you just thumb roll on the elevator wall
“Eric Carr I saw that whole thing” That is totally something that one of my my band directors would say
Christmas Eve 2020 .... Always fun re-watching old EMCProduction videos! Must have watched this => at least
Eric, your stories make my day.
"Oh no a pokerchip!!!"-Band staff
This was born from a practice when a pokerchip went flying across the field XD
Elevator wall thumb roll...EPIC! haha My most awkward DCI moment was while on tour traveling overnight on the bus, I accidentally slept through a rest stop...stop... and only awoke as we were leaving...to discover that I had to pee...REALLY badly. I held it and held it...and held it...until I was in full-on sweats and chills agony. Finally begged the bus driver to find a place to pull off... So the ENTIRE Cadets convoy had to prematurely pull-off so little ol' ME could limp to the edge of the parking lot and pee (I literally could not walk the 100 yards to the actual rest rooms). And of course, the entire corps was standing behind me cheering. hahaha oh it's funny NOW! :P
I'm having flash backs to the band bus video.
I’ve been enjoying your vids but this is the one that got me to finally subscribe. Nice job! #4 and #1 were the best. I literally lol’d at your director just calling out “I saw that” that’s such a corps thing to do! 😂😂. I marched Scouts mid 90’s and one day we shared housing sites with the Colts for some reason. As an all male corps we always just used both men’s and women’s locker rooms because duh, we had no girls. I always used the girls because they were always nicer and usually had doors on the stalls! (Haha, totally relate to that to that one too) so at this school I went to go shower and go into the girls and there’s a bunch of my scout brothers there and there’s a bunch of naked girls showering too. I just stop and look for awhile and everyone’s acting like this is normal. I decide this is probably not going to end well once someone figures out what is happening so I just turned around and left.
Speaking of awkward no stall doors situations. At Allentown there has never been doors on the stalls of course. Before the show I take the biggest dump of my life. I have to show someone so I call out to my friend who was right there to take a look. He sees it and laughs so hard the brass caption head sees him and asks what’s so funny. So he tells him and he has to come take a look. I haven’t even wiped yet when the brass caption head yells to the rest of the entire staff who was over in the locker room to come have a look at this thing. I mean, it was impressive, it looked like soft served ice cream and filled the bowl with the top poking out of the water. So the entire staff line up and take a look in queue. Everyone was very impressed and there was much rejoicing but yeah, it ended up being very awkward! I totally forgot these stories until I watched your vid. Good times!!
best video yet! thank you
Bruh for the past 2 years I’ve been watching ur content and u man this is the funniest thing at of all ur funny content
I laughed more than I cringed lmao
Thank you for telling the last story it made my day a lot better👍👍😂
The cowbell was my favorite
Hi Awkward, I'm morning! :3
Hi morning, I'm herta!
Hi I’m, Im a swiss army triplet!
@@lucusspokemoncards2741 hi Swiss army triplet, I’m snare!
I absolutely love your stories
This is my favorite video on your channel
When I was in college, we made it to a bowl game, and as a freshman I had to assist in setting up the drum stands in the stadium. Well a couple of us piled in the back of the box truck that had all the drum equipment in it to transport to the stadium. Well, one of the assistants were driving the truck and went under a walkway and hit it with the top of the truck, peeled it back like a sardine can with about 5 of us in the back of the truck. We all fell over the equipment in the back of truck, but then had to rush out like we were never in there! Quite an experience!
That’s so reminds me of being in marching band in high school. Short version whole middle of practice field going backwards caught the edge of it and took out three other bandmembers that was a danger of playing the trombone in matching band, very easy to take other people out with you
I love your brave little toaster poster back there , I loved that as a kid
Dude I'm crying, that's awesome
You are a great story teller. 😂
This was such a great video 😂
The number 2 spot went to a kid who went number 2
5:37 the closing of the door sync with the cymbsls
I love band trip stories! Band directors STILL talk about that crazy time on that one trip.. but I gotta say, "I had a drumline that INSISTED you use "THE CODE WORD" to excuse yourself if you had to fart. We were always stuck in tiny rooms - even outside, it was hard to find space that wouldn't bother classes AND wouldn't interfere with the horns... the two girls approached me and posed this solution to the problem... they were SO embarrassed about bringing it up, however - when I addressed the boys, couldn't they "excuse" themselves for a moment? Man, it was so funny - I gave them a nod just before wrap up the following rehearsal, and they took the bells and snare and left. I'm standing there with another snare, quads, four basses and a set of crash cymbals (all boys, ) and I've GOT to introduce the problem, declare the solution (a "tradition" now, from here on out... and (being a young woman, ) I too, am mortified that I have to speak to this, in public - to my drumline.... it started with "ok, so...." (my husband - being a man, of course,) had suggested that BLUNT and to the point would be the best route, AND expect laughing...(well I knew I was gonna laugh,) so I said, "at ease. Take a moment to laugh..." (oh boy, we sure DID laugh...) and finally, I called attention and - amid suppressed snickers - we went back in to put the drums away... the band and director had a quizzical look when we walked in (trying REAL hard not to laugh, now...) and we put up, came to attention... upon dismissal, the drummers hurried over to their compadres in the flags and winds to tell them how funny this was - each section erupted in laughter in turn - which raised the eyebrows of the director - who, then asked me in front of the brass and flag instructor WHAT was so funny?! Omg - they're all Male - and I'm beetred (still trying so hard NOT to laugh - but maintain my professional composure,) explaining THE code... and we ALL just bust out laughing! I mean, at least a full 60 seconds of gut busting guffaw! Finally, the flag coach says, "man - I'm glad I got all girls!" (More laughter from the director and I...) But the brass coach (by far, the most serious personality under the director,) says "actually - that is a BRILLIANT idea, because WE get stuck in that little alcove off the cafeteria sometimes, ya know?" Only a few seconds pause... and then.... ANOTHER gut busting (hurts to even REMEMBER it, ) round of laughter!
Title: Don't play with "bells on" at Hays high school (Texas).
I was a sousaphone player, sophomore in high school with good chops and horrible marching skills. Minutes before halftime as the band was moving down the stands a mild storm front came in. The director said it was a go and we all moved onto the field. Midway through the second song winds picked up at 40 miles per hour and created cross winds on the football field. The drum line and sousaphones toppled like dominoes. Band parents ran in from the stands to help pick us up while the rest of the band was playing. The director finally got the drum majors to call us and we had to leave carrying the sousaphone bells in our hands...which is something the rest of the sousaphone was not designed for.
2 years later, I was the rank leader and we met those Hays high school cross winds again. I order all of the sousaphone players to leave their bells on the sideline and run the "no bells" slide tuning we practiced over summer band camp. We prob looked like six chickens with our heads cut off.
Marching Bushwackers this summer, I think I know exactly what fence you’re talking about
Man I had so much fun watching this 😂
Never did I think I have to close my legs during one of your videos
Great video!
Me: watches the whole ad to support my dude
My friend: SKIP IT *tries to skip*
Such a great intro 😂
I'm a trumpet player, I've been doing it for 2 years, my best friend plays percussion, I like you channel. (I'm very awkward)
One of the years I marched DCI, the housing site had ancient bathrooms. All they put between the toilets in the locker room were dividers about three feet high. Why even bother with that??!!
Hey. I have bit of a random question. Have you ever gone into detail about the quick stick click technique you do occasionally, such as here 14:37? If not, is there any chance you could? That would be neat to know how to do.
I forgot this was a try not to cringe challenge. I lost miserably😂
My freshman year of high school i happen to be allowed to play 5th bass in the stands. As I am walking down the bleachers (which was pretty high up ) I accidentally trip up and literally tumble all the way down to the bottom. With a 5th bass drum...it sucked lol more embarrassed than in actual pain. No drums were injured in this story which as we all know is the important part.
EMC, When I was a private lessons teacher, I experienced number 2 (yeah, it literally was "number 2") in the exact same way you did, word for word. Only thing is, this kid shat his pants maybe 1 in every 3 lessons. Obviously this allowed me to prepare myself before his lessons because I knew his pooping problem could emerge again at any time. Looking back on it now, I probably should have charged double for his lessons.
When my dad marched phantom regiment in 96,97,98 many of the housing sites had a row of toilets with no dividers
This video was made 4 years ago today. Happy birthday
Can’t wait to see the commandants own at the HEB competition!
When your first chair *but a percussionist* pssst I know the feeling lol
When you said you ran into the yellow pole I heard it play in my head because I had the same thing happen to me driving a forklift at work. There was almost no damage, just a bloodcurdling bang.
I was marching bass 5 and I was playing with noobs and turned to check on them see how they were holding up and ran straight into a yellow parking pole
I think these are the ratings
Superior
Outstanding
Very good
Fair
Thanks for coming
The story about the pole was absolutely hilarious.
Our longest band trip was a 24 hour bus ride from Missouri to Florida to perform at Univeral Orlando Resorts we were there for a week
Could you please turn the cymbal money, it’s staring into my soul😂
I once tripped down the stadium stairs after a competition in high school lol. I was known for being especially clumsy though. I broke so many mallets in pit and tripped many times while we were on drums for football games and parades (coming from a small band)
Yoooo when you do you transitions you should have one that’s just straight blast beats
What flavor total war do you use? That preworkout is godly 💪🏼
It was like the first day of band camp my sophomore year and during break my friend had said he was going to the bath room and then I lost him so I went anyways and I saw some dude in the stall so I decided to make a fart noise and then the dude flushed and walked out and it was my new front ensemble tech.
The most awkward thing I’ve ever seen on drum corps tour was a shower room with those vertical 6-pack shower poles AND shameless shitters...all in the same place!
You are the Stevie T. of drumline! Lmao
I was crying laughing uncontrollably for number 2
That kid shat his pants
But still came back to finish the session
That’s determination
When we got the coach buses last time our bus driver almost ran a red light.
I've got an awkward band story.
It was my rookie season and my first parade. I was stupid enough to wear jeans that day and had to borrow someone's extra pair of shorts. 😬
Yes you are sir.... but it’s all good and I like all your videos :)
#5...
Same experience at a middle school in South Dakota, but we also had the showers on the wall .
Two shower heads....
Only one worked.
So we had a line to the shower running between the wall-less, and Shameless ####ers
Oh and if you wanted to brush your teeth, the two sinks where opposite sides of each other... Beside the toliets
I was crying laughing at #2. (#2 hehe)
Bro the most awkward thing I've done in band is coming into band class late
band director slammed into a pole during our homecoming parade. pole was about as wide as a stop sign pole.
also went to the field for a rehearsal and completely forgot my mouthpiece, but didnt realize until we started playing.
and probably a relatable thing for any trombone player, being on the field and ready to play at a comp, but you forget the slide is locked and your first note is not in 1st
That last one kindda of happened when I marched. We got out of last block early and the visual staff was showering. Be a quad guy, all 5 of us went to shower at the same time, probably to touch each other or something. Regardless, we walked in and the whole male AND female visual staff was in there. Now why the female staff was in there, I have 0 clue. But they were. P.S. we were all fully nude...
1985 Geneseo Knights show, Kankakee Il. The only available toilet to use was near the field. a 6'x6' room with a urinal, toilet and sink. The toilet stall was removed so the toilet was exposed. As I sat to poop, no less than 10 people came in. Some would just walk in and turn around and walk out, and some would use the urinal and/or wash their hand....so close...awkwardly pretending not to notice each other. Very traumatic for 17 year old me.
When I was in marching band we had a courtyard where people would eat lunch. The ground was cement. So we would usually park the trucks with instruments onto the cement. But this one time it was so dark that one of them backed into a bench and completely destroyed it
I simply cannot be the only one that lost his shit when he did the cowbell spin. 😂
