Trombone Suicide

[isablondethng]

We weren't allowed Trombones in our high school marching band. We had mellophones, euphoniums, baritones, and sousaphones making up our low brass. ^_^

[jwismillion]

LOL the tittle! xD

[Dashneyman]

how the heck did anything about religion get here ??????????????

[justgonnastay]

@Dashneyman Ask NoShittyMusicAllowed. He brought it up.

[NoShittyMusicAllowed]

@Dashneyman read the argument between me and justgonnasay. He picked a fight and then dodged the real argument.

[IwoJima92]

26 people got killed by trying this

[SkaAnime]

They didn't play? Oh, Youtube.

[ilafatyu]

Wait, wait. What? Why is there a fight involving religion? Oh, Youtube.

[mardawg12]

Drama, drama, drama. If there's one thing I've learned from procrastinating on Youtube, it's that I appreciate the things I can't do. I don't offer criticism to people who look fairly professional to me.

[markw031]

@justgonnastay You do have a fair point but Drill teams are made up of soldiers who can use their rifles. Trombone Suicide groups can be made up of anybody. They don't have to actually be able to play the instrument.

[justgonnastay]

@markw031 No, my niece does competitive drill and she's never fired a gun in her life. Not all drill teams are military. Anyway, this IS the actual trombone section at CSU. I seriously doubt anyone would spend the money on uniforms and instruments just to fill the spaces for little sideshow like this. The point is entertainment. That's all.

[markw031]

OK. So it looks cool but they are not actually playing. So what's the point?

[justgonnastay]

@markw031 Drill teams don't actually shoot their rifles, so what's the point of that?

[tdj98]

I wonder how many people got hit in the head practicing this!

[ArenKae]

Just going to say, I've always been the only trombone in a band -- school, jazz, pit, brass quartet stuff. Just seeing that many trombones together in one band made my jaw drop.

[kiriyama08]

@ArenKae Awww...



[VollyTyrannis]

My band does this with trumpets and it's hard! Glad I'm only a baritone....

[wls860]

Never saw (after 20 years in the biz) why anyone wanted to see or do this....

[justgonnastay]

@wls860 Man, you must be boring....

[NateDSaint]

@justgonnastay HA!

[NoShittyMusicAllowed]

@justgonnastay shut up.

[justgonnastay]

@NoShittyMusicAllowed Ooh! Brilliant repartee! And by your name, I would guess you're not an insufferable music snob or anything. Well here's the thing, Slick:  Musical tastes are purely subjective. The skill level of the musicians or the arrangement of the music means NOTHING to the enjoyment of the end product in the ears of individual listeners. NOTHING. So go be pompous somewhere else.

Have a wonderful day!

[NoShittyMusicAllowed]

@justgonnastay Don't call me slick. You tried to tell someone with lots of experience in the music industry that he was "boring" for expressing his own opinion. This is NOT music, this is choreography. In fact, I like lots of music that people diss for not being skillful. I get your whole schpeel about the skill level of musicians, and I'm with you on that. My username is meant to condemn shitty music, like the stuff you hear on pop radio stations that is 100% autotuned.

[justgonnastay]

@NoShittyMusicAllowed No matter how much his musical experience, he offered his opinion on something that is, in your own words, not music. He came here, I didn't go to him. This routine is performed before a college football game. It's like the Three Stooges of marching band. Some people like slapstick, some like a little more highbrow entertainment and some are outright snooty about their choices. If he can't see why people like this, he's either blind or boring.

[NoShittyMusicAllowed]

@justgonnastay You preach understanding and perspective, but you simply cannot accept the idea that some people are not fucking captivated by this!! Almost as hypocritical as religion.

[justgonnastay]

@NoShittyMusicAllowed Holy Crap, what did you read in there? Are you one of those who just flouts your atheism for the attention? Are you just waiting to be offended? To be drawn into an argument? You and I share some things in common, but an over-heightened sense of indignation is not one of them. Read what I wrote. I didn't say everyone needs to love this, but if you can't even understand why some people do, then you don't understand people. Relax.

[NoShittyMusicAllowed]

@justgonnastay It's called "drawing a comparison" by bringing in a new topic. Sorry if change startles you. And I'm sure people get a kick out choreography. I was defending the 20-year veteran who said otherwise, but that isn't my personal opinion. I'm certainly not opposed to any form of entertainment other than country, bad metal, and bad pop. If you want to have a discussion about music, you'll find I'm quite the opposite of a snob.

[justgonnastay]

@NoShittyMusicAllowed Look, man, get over yourself. You're an atheist! Ooh! Shocking! Well, so am I, but unlike you, it's not my religion. You brought religion into an argument where even the excuse of "drawing a comparison" was tenuous at best. Do you realize that people like you who go around screaming how wrong believers are are as bad as the religious nuts themselves? Stop looking to be offended and live your life. And you missed my point by a mile.

[NoShittyMusicAllowed]

@justgonnastay You seriously need to go fuck yourself. You're just annoying now, because you're not participating in the argument, you're just trying to find a way to dissolve it so you don't lose. If you need some clarification, re-read the arguments. You obviously don't read things before you respond to them. I'm done with your shit.

[justgonnastay]

@NoShittyMusicAllowed Let me re-focus for you then: A professional musician came here and said he doesn't understand why ANYONE wants to do or see this. How can a grown person not understand why ANYONE would like this? I understand that HE might not enjoy it, that's obvious, but the point is HE IS SO NARROW-MINDED THAT HE DOESN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE COULD! He may be a great musician, but I bet outside of his circle, he's seen as kinda boring.

[WenchesOfRedemption]

@NoShittyMusicAllowed Do mummy and daddy know you're on their computer again?

[DownMyBasement]

i'd die.

[topem97]

omg we did this at our school and my friend got whammed in the head by a trombone and the ems had to come out onto the field lol it was that bad

[JohnLaurain]

And this is why I play the Bari Sax :D

[NatashaIllusia]

at my school we call it guillotine and our band director allows all brass instruments except trombone and tuba, though sometimes trombonists will take off their slide and use it

[xXGANGaST3RXx]

I used to do this alot.... untill I took a trombone to the face

[joebarco]

awesome



[twiggygaming101]

they do that in my sisters high scool band with all kinds of insturments like tubas trombones like in the video. really cool

[xtokiobillfreak989x]

And this is why I love playing the trombone -3

[MLPTheStupidFiles]

I've seen something way worse than this at a boy scout camp that involved a flashlight, a bowling ball, a hammer, a "Lifeguard" t-shirt, a rubber chicken, and a shovel. Danger was imminent. Then the counselors had them do it blindfolded.

[KHluver100]

i wish my band would let us do that

[kurisu96]

Called "head chops" at our school. I got in my freshman year, which is really hard to do. I go to high school, btw.

[cornhusker221]

My girlfriend does this with my trombone but it always winds up hitting her in the face anyway!

[CassieGraceKilljoy]

My school does this with trumpets/flugelhorns... Only because we don't have any trombones. 0.0

[kelver119]

I so want my school to let us do this next year

[mel14kentucky]

This makes me love being a trombone player:) TROMBONES ALL THE WAY!!!

[LazyDeltaKicks]

@mel14kentucky HELL YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NICKHAM16]

I do this in my high school marching band. It's really fun.

[guitargod909]

I was waiting for someone to get smacked in the face.. didn't happen :(

[TheComputerBaby]

fucking amazing

[LesboPonyArmageddon]

I don't get it :c

[Huehueteotl]

:°

[ZanTheFox]

Was just watching some pony videos and suddenly I'm watching a trombone section in a marching band. This isn't unusual anymore. So many pony videos are related to so many things that I'm left with only one question...

...so "trombone suicide" is this particular maneuver in marching bands where they bob and turn, with rhythm being the key to not hitting each other?

[creamyfilling102]

if you watch one person at a time, they just go up down left and right in a simple pattern

[justgonnastay]

@creamyfilling102 True, but that "simple pattern" has dire consequences should you miss the timing.

[kodabear963]

@justgonnastay dire consequences?? you mean, at the worst, a bloody nose? haha

[justgonnastay]

@kodabear963 Hey, you could put your eye out, kid!

[iSquaffle]

@kodabear963 You've obviously never seen this be failed. One kid stops, everyone fucks up. Some people are going to stop to see the rest and they get fucked in the head too.

[zippy476]

@justgonnastay Just like pulling out.

[AEMarkov]

YES! Gig and a suicide. Nice combo

[Christianrocker1990]

Just don't screw up your timing.

[TheVivvav]

Rehearsing this must involve copious amounts of trombone to the face.

[Ohmyani]

@TheVivvav One of the few times I've actually laughed at a youtube comment XD

[Lolo237237]

THIS close to DEEEEAAAAATH

[azncookieable]

lol i play tbone and we do this in marching band 2! :D its fun!!

[RainBirdLori]

Cool, I wonder how many hits they made before they got it down pat. ^.^

Not criticizing, just making an observation. They had to have had a few mishaps in practice!

[01jweave]

ya CSU, CU cant compare

[alirobertson93]

Do they actually play?

[01jweave]

@alirobertson93 no they dont but ive only seen a crash once

[Zforeigners]

thumbs up if you were waiting for something funny to happen

[edude1100]

CSU!

[MrScififreak4]

it would be hilarious if one guy got hit with the trombone

[01jweave]

@MrScififreak4 it has happent before in my 14 years only once and the trumbone was totaled

[poyo1998]

How the hell did i get here from "Winter Sax Up".

[AGuyAndAGun]

@poyo1998: I did not come here from ponies at all...only to find a pony comment...

[aSuperBosnianMan]

I wonder how many people got hit in the face while practicing this...

[narfozs]

We call that the gauntlet at my school

[Grizzly700guy]

I wonder how many teeth got knocked out during practice!

[sleepzuzuzu]

We call that the guillotine when I was in marching band (and we used trumpets)

[AnimeStarStudios]

YEAAAAA lol XD I wanted to do a suicide with my saxophone section but they totally went against it. phooo-e

[DynamiteChannelist]

The Trombone Suicide is what every trombone section wants to perfect

[whitewolf9001]

NHS Band was taught years ago by CSU. We call it the Executioner.

[Jafroboy]

suicide?

[JonMEmerson]

only a trombone player truly knows how terrifying it would be to actually try this

[der363Productions]

Loving Jig from the drumline

[LlamasAbound]

Left

[MegaBassThumper]

Wow, that was pretty sweet. Wonder how many failed attempts it took to get it perfect?

[gtsinger96]

That. Looks. TERRIFYING.

[BathtubSalsa]

my little pony!!!!! go rams

[runeboss785]

1 mistake and ur dead meat :D

[Pinksterm1]

now THAT is what i call trombone suicide! awesome!

[MusicalGregory]

lol the title is funnier after i watch the video XD

[Lizardddog]

yah don't be sorry. It gave u an extra 125,750 views :P

[pillman12]

[paramorefreak554]

this is related to MLP because pinkie pie played the trombone and it was epic XD

[justgonnastay]

I have no idea how or why this video has been labeled as "related" to My Little Pony, but apparently it has. I'm sorry about that.  I don't even know how to find out.

[rickyony]

@justgonnastay "I'm sorry about that."

No need to be sorry.

[25teehee]

@justgonnastay that just means you vid is epic! lol

[182crazyK]

@justgonnastay It's a great honor to be related to ponies

[chocolatedonut31]

@justgonnastay What, Rarity's dancing to your video... What's wrong with ponies?

[FutureMrsMattSmith03]

@justgonnastay

tags?

[MrSystemV]

@justgonnastay I'll tell you how; it's because of this video: watch?v=X7rOnJmKB6c

[justgonnastay]

@MrSystemV Oh My God! That's hilarious! Wow. Thank you!

[mwhitee]

@justgonnastay are you a brony??

[justgonnastay]

@mwhitee Sshhh! Don't let my secret out!

[mwhitee]

@justgonnastay haha nice!!!

[ZanTheFox]

@justgonnastay You could try to find out by looking at the videos this one is related to. Check their tags and you should be able to tell which ones are leading viewers between them. If any of the tags are found in both their videos and this one, then you know which ones are causing the similarity.

Also, don't be sorry about it, most of the related videos are pretty good. I'm not saying you have to watch them, you can just pause the video right when it starts to load and check the tags.

[FemaleGallade]

@justgonnastay Pinkie Pie?

[pablohahjrocker]

Wooooow, going to have to challenge our trombone section to do thisX}D

[Darthkiller3]

how the fuck is my little pony related?

[YouFreakinTroll]

@Darthkiller3 there's a bunch of bronies on youtube :(

[W0LVIE45]

I tought they gonna die like wtf boom

[TheFatAssCat]

Time to pull out the loaner trombone.

[Ciscoql]

How is this a related video to my little pony? O.o

[anname219]

@Ciscoql Because instruments. *brohoof*

[DognamedLincoln69]

wow white people suck this schools sucks too

[justgonnastay]

@DognamedLincoln69 I have blocked you but left this comment up so everyone can be amazed by your idiocy. Thanks for playing.

[MaceWindu98]

@justgonnastay Made a right choice.

[theahah88]

@justgonnastay now, i havta find @DognamedLincoln69 comment ._.

[k53177]

@DognamedLincoln69 shut up!!!

[mariocake1]

@DognamedLincoln69 Wow, black people suck and you suck too.

[justgonnastay]

@mariocake1 Talk about lowering yourself to the other guy's level. Way to go, dimwit.

[mariocake1]

@justgonnastay I didn't mean to feed the troll. I'm 12 and what is this. Sorry.

[nigahiga68]

@DognamedLincoln69 I am happy to inform you that your next of kin will inherit your genius, thus becoming the most hated people in the schools they go to. They will grow up to be ditchdiggers and die in the very hles they dug. Have a nice day.

[TessaxxxCisco]

@DognamedLincoln69 Eff Yhu:P

[mrfoozy47]

@DognamedLincoln69 YOU ARE A FUCKING PEICE OF SHIT

[TSDFurReal]

@DognamedLincoln69 Someone jealous that they're black and can't play trumpet, sax, or drums like the rest of your kind?

[ZanTheFox]

@DognamedLincoln69 Sounding a bit mad there bro, chill out. 

[pockuinator]

Forever trombone.

[Appledayvideos]

I would laugh if someone got hit

[Tommyrazor2]

It makes me wonder how many times they smacked each other during practice :P

[TheEspea]

@Tommyrazor2 One of the freshmen this year actually hit her slide onto the ground and smashed her mouth against it. She lost a couple of teeth and one of them even went right through her lower lip.

[Tommyrazor2]

@TheEspea Ouch! Sorry to hear... yet... this doesn't really surprise me :P

[DktorChoas]

Rams suck dick Go Buffs

[justgonnastay]

@DktorChoas That's the best sentence structure CU fans can muster.

[TheEspea]

@DktorChoas Are you mad because your marching band's trombones aren't allowed to do suicides?

[Rastasandrainbows]

should be called trombone roulette

[spartak95]

did he died?

[swordofkamasreal1]

@spartak95 its the moves name

[25teehee]

lucky bastards can bend down in uniform!!!

[hamilton797]

Well done but how about playing a single tune???

[TubaGirl45]

HEAD CHOPPERS! But with instruments

[KevinTurnerTbone4]

LOL that was really good

[srt4eric]

wtf was this.....

[xMizSweetnessx]

It could've gone wrong if you don't follow the rhythm

[VeryColdfusion]

Can anybody tell me what cadence that is that is backing them?

[TheEspea]

@VeryColdfusion We call it #5. It sounds a lot more cool in person.

[novella44]

HEAD CHOPPERS

[lordgman1]

I don't trust any of my section enough to even think about this.

[kelimishelli]

My marching band has 70 trombones, and 600-something members. ;) BE JEALOUS.

[xiibu]

@kelimishelli My marching band has 5 trombones, and 70 something members. D: I'M JEALOUS.

[JackMehoff845]

@kelimishelli but does your band instructor know the names of every single last player?

[xCrunchyCookie]

@kelimishelli Nah and u have to tune all those trombones and plus the slide is count as a tuning slide. So i better off with just 5-7 trombones in my band XD because we already have a hard time put the slide in the right position. 7 place= the devil

[PeaceBringer100]

@xCrunchyCookie

Adjusted Trigger 2nd = better than 7th, usually.

On topic, Head Chops are harder. There's a distinct difference between Suicides and chops.

[adbmnj10]

now do that with the slides all the way out lol.

[337camo]

Hmm...that actually looks pretty cool.

[ashto2424]

I wish that my band had more then two trombones... Just me and that one kid...

[mrchevys3]

Wow, that was rather intense.

[super8ben]

I miss marching band D:

[LiviLovesYew1998]

Man I wish that our trombone section could do this

[Dumihead2]

I don't get it.. Why did nobody get hurt?

[swimteamizzle1114]

@Dumihead2 Every other person ducks, while the other people swing the trombone slide over their heads. Then, they quickly switch jobs.

[bartybart1000]

dude! i love this! we attempted this in marching band but we wnt slow and had no blindfolds :)

[MrHankkey93]

dayum

[pianistwithabluebox]

We learned to do this at my high school, but we never use it. :(

[TrendyAsianDude]

this video got me a Trombone-r

[reeness09]

daaaaaaaaamn wish we had stuff like that her in Aus!

[ThallesNinja]

@reeness09 I had to reread that 3 times. I kept reading Anus

[justgonnastay]

@ThallesNinja LOL! Me too! "stuff...her..." well, you get it.

[anthony21266]

loll the second to last guy to the left

[se7en0fclub5]

Smooth!

[PrinnyEnforcer]

Its suicide because is someone fucks up, he hits the player next to him, causing him harm and most likely ruining both of their instruments.

Derp.

[totallygames]

When my band does these, after 1 musical phrase, they start to jump and turn at the same time (to face the oposite direction) every measure.

[sexyapplejack102]

GIVE ME BACK 18 SECONDS OF MY LIFE BACK YOU HOARD!

[beckhamshotz]

@sexyapplejack102 How about you give back the six years that is your wasted life bitch? It's a funny video:P

[sexyapplejack102]

@beckhamshotz 6 years? wat?

you know what.

I am going to love and tolerate the SHIT outta you!

[withagun76]

Was eagerly anticipating a screw up XD

[TheVanDalton]

Is that cadence "five"? Sounds really familiar.
