[IsaacWilsonIsaac]

Ah, I miss high school band.

[phinchy007]

FANTASTIC..........

[ParasiteS27]

If one person messed up........lol's would ensue

[MsBaby2fresh]

damn I'm glad I play trombone there's so much things u can do it but that I can't do good job but kids don't try this at home because u might knock someone out hit em n the eye lol

[xXxEmoHorseLoverxXx]

Skill. These guys have it

[supercj476]

*coughcough*baritonesarebetter­*cough*

[ninjainafishtank]

@supercj476 I love you! I was thinking the same thing! xD



[hahahalol1000]

does anyone know the name of this cadence?

[BassmasterDreams]

@hahahalol1000 Monkey beat!!!!!!

[Dwafiz]

@hahahalol1000 I know it as "Helicopter."

[MrAKL83194]

I don't know why, but every single time I watch this, my heart skips a beat.

[forevergosselin8]

im jealuos.



[ramenlovesme]

Maybe they should play something?

[peebrain26]

@ramenlovesme it's kinda hard to play while they're doing that

[TheTrickAnswer]

Obnoxious and loud,

We always stand proud.

Long live Trombones!!!

[hellovanni]

I wonder how many times they had to get macked before they got it perfect xD

[BGTrombone]

YEAH TROMBONES!!!!

[TheBrendo525]

They are so funn to do I never get tired of trombone suicides :)

[broski520]

Am I the only one that noticed that their slides go in between their legs, not straight down?

[FunnyCrazii]

i nvr thought i would say this but.. I LOV SUICIDES xD

[gamerboy6297]

Again. Football is owned.

[euphmmx]

Anyone who can't do this is retarded. It's down, up, left, down, up, right, and so on. Much easier than it looks.

[masterxofxboondoggle]

@euphmmx good. now do it BLINDFOLDED. >:D

[shysadly9]

@euphmmx That's good that you can do it but with the two people next to you are whom decide your fate, that is what makes it harder my friend.

[SprecheDeutsch]

Instead of moving to Germany I should've gone to school at CSU on a band scholarship. :( Seriously now, that made me smile.

[muhammaddog]

Would it be too much to ask to hold the fucking camera still?

Spaz

[MajorasMaskMailman]

They're better than our trombone section and they're blindfolded. Of course, they probably practice way more the we do.

[RyMan669]

TROMBONISTS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!

[vidkte]

while im watching this i see peter griffin playing the trombone, pretty epic

[seinfeldfan7898]

Football players, I will say this only once:

Your frigid little body could not handle what I do.

[KoalaSnufflies]

@seinfeldfan7898 <3

[kingcobra1523]

@Mabc50 its called suicide because if you make a turn a the wrong time, You may have face inrjury or....suicide...Its a really complicated move

[vmatt72]

what's the name of the cadence



[BigTeo55]

IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO COUNT RYTHMS OR KEEP A BEAT..DONT TRY THIS..LOL 

[mabc50]

Why is it called suicides?

[CoHful]

@mabc50 because you touch yourself at night

[wahappun]

I dont think anybody in the stands realizes how challenging that is. xD

[aidankrbe]

my section does suicides to gerban. Which is this cadence but with a breakdown.  We also have more then just down over.

[PickOfThePiccs]

And how many people got hit while practicing that for the first time?

[meagisamazingbro]

We have been begging our director to let us do these, so we practiced and perfected them all of band camp. He asked us if he could see them, and we messed it up. We do them in the stands at football games now.

[TrollinLikeaG]

too legit for words

[LoudNoises009]

6 people have never been in a marching band ha ha

[RyMan669]

So... We still don't get the melody, bit at least we are featured

[TheEspea]

FLAMER ON THE 50!! XD By the looks of it, there are more girls in the Bruces than this year.

[Darkeye1144]

@yummymaster1: same here bro. Football is way more difficult.  But i wish our band would do these, but it would hurt like hell to mess up on that.

[xCrunchyCookie]

My trombones at my school has this thing about suicides, if you hear someone scream back the fk away from the line or stay down till it's safe <.<

[JndBStudios]

Band and football are both activities that take discipline and work. But football agreeably takes a LOT more conditioning and mental toughness, as the pain and psychological hardship of a war-like conflict takes more than a band member. Please-- I understand band is awesome... but it is so much different than football. Have some respect for the players, too.

[rc100692]

@JndBStudios The problem is. People think band is easy, and its not.

[JndBStudios]

@rc100692 I totally agree.

[rc100692]

@JndBStudios In my opinion, they are equally hard, but for different reasons.

[xx1grillz10xx]

Nice to see a celebration of the trombone

[muffincakes92]

That is one BIG trombone section o.O

[yummymaster1]

Oh and by the way we do suicides at almost every game

[yummymaster1]

Oh and by the way we do suicides at almost every game

[yummymaster1]

Just saying to all those people hating on football, I start on my highschool's varsity football team and am a trombone in band. I have done marching band for three years and my school is very competitive in it, but I would still say that football is much more difficult. Much, much more difficult. I am also in our All-State band so I'm no slacker in either

[Skwiwi526]

Hot

[BlueburryStorm13]

what's the football team doing on the BAND field!?!??

[bn10m5a]

@BlueburryStorm13 well thats perhaps the gayest thing i've ever heard anyone say....

[TheEpicPiccolo]

@bn10m5a I dont think so. and theres nothing wrong with gay people :o

[Marinermandrone]

@BlueburryStorm13 slapping each others' butts around lmfao

[BrokenSporadic]

@BlueburryStorm13 i have a shirt that says that!!

[nightmareluver71559]

Ohplease football players...try this, and when you're done, let me know how many people got hit in the face. (:

[Jagrifex]

Props to them for wearing blindfolds, but the bones in my band do this while playing.

[bagmud]

@Jagrifex bet they sound like shit

[lolnation123]

lol in my band these two freshman came so i tought them how to do it and one kid broke his trombone slide over the other kids face it was awsome but the kid that got hit had 7 stiches in his forehead and the other kid was band lol get it band like kicked out or band as in band

[ExternalGod]

@Bryani12

Yes we will FUCK YOU UP! lol (like that Jamaican idiot.) not to mention I'm sure the entire band would enjoy stomping all over his retarded face one by one.

[ExternalGod]

JamaicanBoy.. Gtfo you fag I doubt you could even make it on the football team OR the band. Dont hate because you don't have skills. God people like you are such losers.

[ItsAJersseyThing]

i love the bass

[LexiBandGeek]

there's only one trombone in our marching band it's too bad......

[Hedukfan23]

@LexiBandGeek same with us, and its me! lol

[Thiscrapsannoying]

this wasnt at a football game. it was a marching performance. not a game.

[ItsAJersseyThing]

@Thiscrapsannoying it was a footbal game dumass y else would there be cheerleaders? -.-

[Thiscrapsannoying]

@ItsAJersseyThing The Girls at the back are the auxiliary. they are running to the back of the field with flags at the beginning of the video.

[Thiscrapsannoying]

@ItsAJersseyThing Maybe you were right. I just saw the girls at the bottom left of the screen. BUT they could be a dance team. My school has them and they work as cheerleaders and also perform with the band at all of our performances. And yes. We do have 2 auxiliary teams.

[AbercrombieBoy12]

no one ever notices what the snares r doing! its sick!

[TheBandgeek247]

I wish my trombone section would do this. But theirs only 4 of us this year...

[Hedukfan23]

@TheBandgeek247 mine too, but is just me on trombone

[allyboii1]

the cadence to this is awesome !! :3

[TheBulldawgnation]

I'm finally getting the trombone section at our school to try it. :)

[adder80]

Nicely done.. Looks awesome.

[Daniellestars100]

our school does the whole band, theres about 200 of us:) but props for the blind folds!!

[neoncarrot347]

thats so cool! our trombones should do that!

except theres only two so it would look awfull..

[Panjaquomi]

Probably the main reason why I would want to be in a marching band right here.

[EmOGuXx]

damn thats awesome I want to do that with my trombone section

[Bryani12]

dont mess with trombones YOU WILL GET HURT

[legoclonekid]

Yeah!! Im going to college there!!

[LexiBandGeek]

that is so awesome!

[Alanthos17]

If only the Smiths were smart enough to think of things like this instead of just staring at Neo... soooo many chances lost...

Mmm, sorry, outamymind. ^^Uu

[localocalopezes]

haahah looks fun. wish my tyngsboro high had this many trombinists. including me, there r 3 trombonists in the THS band, & i'm not even in high school yet (i play in the football games even though i'm in 8th grade lol). there's more ppl in the trombone section than there is enrolled in all 4 town bands combined(5th, 6th, 7th & 8th, high school)

[ThisIsTheAlphabet]

These guys' hearts must be racing as fast as a 4.2 on the 40 :D

[horsefan48]

EPIC, this is the best thing ever! :D

[johnwilliamschow]

I wish our trombones were smart enough to be able to do this. 

[undertaker70529]

@johnwilliamschow wtf trombones are super smart we just don't got common sense most the time. lol

[youmna1999]

@johnwilliamschow well actually its not the trombones tht are the problem we r dont hate the player hate the trombone

but plz dont

[tpm4st3r]

i do this in a litlle bandbut then playing and wihout the blindfolds nice work

[THEGT956]

DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU GUYS ROCK

[TheCrazies135]

Is there a flute suicide lol

[undertaker70529]

@TheCrazies135 NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! flutes aren't uber pwnage enough!

[TheCrazies135]

@undertaker70529 oh well then :P im guessin u play trombone huh :P

[Jeka2188]

god i miss marching band.. ahh

[EmperorXaozx]

Sad our band doesn't have Trombones.

[blaze8902]

@EmperorXaozx Very sad indeed.

[xRandomJennettex]

im from a small town and our band is really small and im sure our trombones couldnt do that. if we broke one we wouldnt have enough money to fix them and thats the sad part. but this is AWSOME (: i wish i could actually see that one day

[skazdd]

that's so awesome!!!!

[onttffsen]

Omg u guys rock!!!!!!

That's so kul:D

[WexxGonnaxxDance]

I want to know how many injuries where caused by practicing this xD

[TwilightPsychopath]

INTENSE!!!!! I love it when our school does this. Meh, who needs the football team, I go for the band! So much more entertaining and so worth it. :]

[deadlygirl34]

That was pretty cool. We only have two trombone players in our band. And one of them is pregnant so......... Yea. But that was awesome!!!!!

[andrew288]

Heck yeah! That was slickkkkk. nice pop

[Jascrod]

it doesnt really matter if your blindfolded or not, you should mostly rely on counting and following the tempo

[Video239]

they were really blindfolded were they?? that would be awsome!!

[jrkilla78777]

it would have sucked if...their mouthpieces got stuck..lol

[forrest702]

@jrkilla78777 i have to say that is the least of their problems....i would worry about the slide getting dented or bent...no slide=no function...

[wchstuba]

i love when the band gets more hype than a football team

[iFlawless14]

@wchstuba But The Football Team Is Still The Ones Who Being Paid Attention To (Football Player)

[trujilbt]

@wchstuba its cause the band is cooler than the football team, a wise man once told me that if football where any harder they would call it Marching Band

[wabble111]

@wchstuba

i love it when the foot ball team sucks, then everyone stays to watch the band... then they leave =)

[117ty]

@wchstuba

What do you mean "when"?

[garthphantomlife]

@wchstuba Well, you know,,, they are that awesome :) That;s how it works at our school :)

[Unorthodoxful]

@wchstuba thats because the football team is there to fill in time when the band is warming up. ^^

[ProfKibble]

@wchstuba That's because band is better than football.

[JamaicanBoy41]

@ProfKibble you are severely lacking intelligence if you believe that.....

[PoohStickProductions]

@ProfKibble finally someone understands

[ProfKibble]

@PoohStickProductions I also love when the band is BETTER than the team.

IE: Several weeks ago, my school's Pep Band played at our home game against a local team, and we go SLAUGHTERED 41 -14. Naturally, the band was better.

[gamester501]

@ProfKibble tru dat

[JamaicanBoy41]

@wchstuba funny but that stadium is empty for that band performance. I bet you its full when its time for a football game. You band people are retarded

[DKeller4113]

@JamaicanBoy41 you can't watch a marching band show from the away side. all the formations are meant to be seen from the home side, and you won't be able to hear the band well since they're playing in the opposite direction. i bet you the home side of those stands are completely packed.

[bandnerd525]

@JamaicanBoy41 funny you mention that. I go to the university of Nebraska. you know, the one with the current record for consecutive sellouts and with a number of national championship titles. and funnily enough, not only does the band program predate the football program, they had to actually schedule football games around the band performances simply because the band drew so many more people than the games back in the day. so keep in mind what helped football get its start ;)

[forevergosselin8]

@JamaicanBoy41 shut the fuck up man people like you piss me off get a life and respect the band. <3

[Hedukfan23]

@JamaicanBoy41 you fuckers in football need to have a little more respect for the marching band. At Sierra High School, an alliance school with CSU Fort Collins, just 80 miles south, the football team sucks, the only reason people show up is because of the marching band! Football players practice for 2 hours a day, we in the marching band practice for four to five hours a day, in the blistering heat, or bitter cold, so we can entertain your fans. So if you would kindly please, shut the fuck up

[Hedukfan23]

@wchstuba yep, i go to sierra high school just about 80 miles south of fort collins, and the only reason people show up to the football games is to see us, the marching band because the football team sucks

[TheNamesWolf]

@wchstuba thats what happens with our band, our teams on a 20+ losing streak, were the only reason people come to our games.

[asandberge]

@wchstuba I live in the town neighboring a town that gave up their football program for the band program. I'm jealous because our marching band director is on the brink of being fired and there's nobody to take his place that wants to face off against the athletics office head and the principle.

[MELOVESTHETRUMPET]

@wchstuba HALF TIME IS GAME TIME :)

[XXtheJUMPoffXX]

Nice

[bronthing]

Mechanic, I find it very implausible that your band plays while you do suicides. Being a trombone player myself we decided to try and play something simple like hit cross buns, while doing suicides about half the speed of csu and we failed miserably.

[zurn14]

RAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!



[iJohnGame]

i wish someone got hit

[mikers3000]

@iJohnGame I wish you got hit

[themechanic345]

Our marching band does this, and the trombones play during suicides, which I find slightly more impressive then without playing. It's quite fun to watch when the freshman learn this XP

[ItsIncredibleInc]

@themechanic345 Liar you cant play during suicide i would know im a trombonist that does them

[themechanic345]

@ItsIncredibleInc Dude...just because your band doesn't play during them doesn't mean that mine doesn't... Our trombones wrote a short little piece to play while doing suicides. They also do it without drumline's aid

[vhf12]

@themechanic345

can any one else smell it ?

theres a very strong scent coming from this comment ...

it wreaks with the smell of bullshit

[themechanic345]

@vhf12 Why do you say that?... It can vary from band to band, you know...

[irdonian]

It's soo cool I get to say I'm in this marching band...just not in the trombone section though haha

[JonasFanTess]

OMG!! i cant wait to go to CSU!!!

[shupea18]

our high school marching band attempted this........well lets just say we're never doing it again

[D2RA]

Ok this is pissing me off I know alot people think that they made bula bula bula but actually it was started by the Ronald Reagan high school marching band

[akarika41]

Performed in front of 10's of people!

[504godzilla]

i want my section to do this!!

[swordaen]

I LOVE FOOTBALL GAMES BECAUSE OF SUICIDES!!!! Trombones FTW!!!!

[movefatkid]

the one dislike to this video is probably from a trumbonest who got smacked in the face while doing the Suicide.

[AgentMidnight]

I'm in the CU marching Band i still think this is cool

[504godzilla]

YEA.....GO TROMBONES!!!...MAKE US PROUD!!!

[lamogand]

at first i was like: huh... shakos off? then blind folds... then i was like... holy shit!

[trujilbt]

We did that at CSU Pueblo band day yesterday

[brandikaye1992]

I play Trumpet and I still think this is AWESOME!!

[jaybug42]

@brandikaye1992 Hey trumps do it to!

[707sk8r]

@jaybug42 yah but looks really lame. just my opinion

[jaybug42]

@707sk8r Yea probly not as good as trombones but our high school doesn't march with them.

[fihaki50]

this is so awsome!

TROMBONES ROCK!

[LowCalorieVideos]

@fihaki50 That my friend, is true!!!! :D

[COOKIEMONSTERATHOME]

i love playing trombone

[kaykay9996]

holy shiz!!

how can you not like this?!?!?!

I'm a girl tromboniest and that was so cool!!!!!

my band director is my nieghbor...

[peanutbutter11385]

amazziinng

[17mrkab]

i also play the trombone! we asked our direactor if we could do that, answer was no. bull crap! we can do that! it would be sweet!

[awesomeness413]

csu is the shiz

[Benniejboiiy]

wow fantastic

[peaceluvpoptarts]

woo hoo go trombones

[YoshiizRandom]

this is awesome!!! i play trombone and some friends and i were thinking about trying this, but i think we may end up killing ourselves in the process lol :)

[erie76]

Today was the first day of rehearsal that the bones actually did suicides. Lemme tell you, it's way cooler in person.

[thetrombonest]

my high school trombone section is trying this

[kajnconant]

No, the trombonists don't play during the suicides.

[flockofmurlock]

@kajnconant that would be neat though...

[Sergio91564]

@kajnconant at leat they try not tooo lol

[princesslenorastone]

their first horns up sucked. butttt. that was ahmazing.
