Attempted Suicide by Brass Instruments

[StAmander]

I wish my band was bigger so we could do trombone suicides while everyone else does the trombone cheer song. :) that would be so epic.

[daniangelful]

I LOVE MY MARCHING BAND!!! ABERDEEN WA ALL THE WAY!!! lol my friend robbert said marching band is worse than football:)

[vivistine]

lol that person just stayed down cuz he was afraid lol!

[PooPoo2U]

I'd say this is cool if it weren't for that one guy completely dweebing out on the end.

Come on son, act like you've been there before.

[CaryHSMB]

I want a day where all of the football players have to come and try marching band, just to know how hard it is. How about you hold up a 35 pound contra for about 10 minutes..............just saying................

[PooPoo2U]

@CaryHSMB: Yea, and you can go try playing football against the other team. Let's see what those majorettes do against a 260-300 pound lineman.

Your argument is stupid and irrelevant.

[125darkangel]

i wish our low brass could do this lol

[DistractionCascade]

this unintenionally makes the football players look clueless

[demon123398]

its my first year marching (i play baritone) and i have two trombones beside me on each side and we do an all horn suicide in our closure and its pretty fuckin beast...its faster than that and i havent been hit once

[sigorni1]

i would be decapitated by a trombone if i tried this. :)

[MikeIsEvil]

That was mind boggling lmao.

[KapuistheAlphafemale]

too band our band isn't epic enough for our brass to do that

[Airsoft109z]

..but... it's not all trombones. D:

[weKnowWeRcrzy202]

It's funny how sometimes...the marching band captivates the crowd better than the football team...

[MajorDomoBacon]

Wow, I completely missed the first 10 seconds because I was confused by the fact that these are almost the exact same uniforms as my band. Solid suicide though :P

[itdrewledonu]

not bad they were really precise when doing it thats good

[ii4euyjh]

we tryed it last year it didnt work that well

[mukraf]

You guys don't have show shirts?

[mongrale]

when something goes wrong... STAY DOWN!!!!

[poleybear01]

I give all trombones props for doing a suicide. I am a trombone and I don't think I would have the guts to do a suicide. God knows you'd be brained if you got hit in the head at a fast tempo...

[jaguarbabe123]

Really good job! If the drumline could have played the sped up tempo clean, it would have been even better.

[2MtnDewsandaCoke]

we have enough people to do that but our drums suck i should know im one of them T-T but if enough people r dedicated to it then we r so doing this this marching band season

[IceClanWarrior]

Dude in the red with the trombone nearly got his head took off in the first attempt. lol

[CountryLoverGirl]

Dude. If the trombones/trumpets at my school tried this it wouldn't be ATTEMPTED suicide lmao.

[ninjaburgerq]

We did that in my college Sousaphone line.  God, it took FOREVER to get it right. But we looked good doing it!

[rawrzlubzndinoz]

Hahahha our trombones do that. And every time I sit there watching and waiting for this one kid to get smacked in the face. :P

[clonecaptain13]

Practice for this must have sucked. Just imagine how many times these guys got hit in the head with those trombones.

[Stoicswimfish]

@clonecaptain13 I remember doing that in marching band, as long as everyone has an idea of what's going on people tend to not get hit.

[wnesbitt1]

Really great!

[shinytrombone11]

GOD I WISH MY BAND COULD ACCOMPLISH THAT. There's no way that there was enough brain power in my trombone section to do that... and I doubt there was enough in the trumpets either.

[193614]

lol wow, trumpets, really?

[BubbleGumClaudia]

It was all the low brass at my high school......and if their director let them take off their jackets during the game he was a stupid director!!

[rondarc1]

this is so old wow really

[stuffismehname]

notice that the trombones are swinging high enough so that they wont hit someone even if they did duck

[boarthefighter]

At my HS we call that trombone suicide cause it's all trombones. And the trombones play something too, they don't just "attempt suicide...like a boss.

[CharmsJr94]

My trombone section does these :) not this fast but we do it while marching

[totallygames]

Trumpets in a trombone suicide line? Way to ruin a good thing.

[TheAbsoluteEnd]

You guys got lucky. there was no beat in the suicides but you got through somehow hah

last time i did suicide with my section, another band kid decided to go underneath me when i was going down. Didn't end well for him hah

[calico992]

I cannot hear the horns at all? Are they even playing? Not trying to be negative, just commenting.

Maybe its the audio, but ALL I HEAR IS DRUMS AND CHEERING

[Whorriid]

@calico992 What they're doing is called Trombone suicide, they don't play just do the movements (as seen above) As quickly as possible while the drums play to kinda give a tempo. They i wouldn't suggest you try doing it, this can actually be very painful if someone messes up xD

[beckhamshotz]

@calico992 Hahahaha dude your a straight up dumbass

[totallygames]

@beckhamshotz Or he's just not in band, so it would make sense for him to not know.

[beckhamshotz]

@totallygames Yeah but if he can't tell that they're not supposed to be playing that makes him dumbass material

[totallygames]

@beckhamshotz Maybe

[wchstuba]

u cant do it with trumpets its just wrong



[asianbobbyw]

What is the name of the cadence?

[jpederse98]

@asianbobbyw Our band calls it boolah boohlah boohlah, the students do a crazy dance to it.

[Spyker0013]

Great Job! I have marched and am marching Drum Corps and i haven't seen this before!

My only problem is the video is sped up =(

[mlschelpat]

@Spyker0013 Vid is real time - not sped up - look at people in background (I know, I filmed it, I posted it)

[RockstarDaniel]

@mlschelpat Vid is NOT real time - IS sped up - look at the people in the background they are also sped up ( i know, i filmed it, i posted it) there fixed

[Sweetdaddyde]

people should see what Collard greens is...

cuz its like this but with faster and it has meh tubas in it and a pretty sick dumb beat :D

Lincoln High School Marching band, Tallahassee Fl :D

[Macade76]

tenors sound bad...real bad.

[aaronfsmall]

Hahahaha the guy in red almost gets hit at the beginning XD

[danceCSMorris98]

marching band is probably harder than anything else you could possibly do. drill in the hot sun? weeks of practice? running laps to stay in shape? memorizing music and spots AND VISUALS? living with screwing up when you playback the video of the performance? waking up early onw eekends just to get to practice? i dont think football players do any of that. all it takes in memorizing some plays and passing a ball...you think you have it hard?

[killwill07]

@danceCSMorris98 actually we do that. Weeks of practice/two a days in the hot sun IN PADS. We run sprints/up downs/distance to stay in shape on top of the physical activity of drills/scrimmaging during practice. We memorize the playbook, assignments, which changes weekly sometimes and depending on the defense. Theres also something called film, where it can be very as humiliating. We wake up just as early, if not earlier. I have much respect for MB, but get your head out of your ass.

[musicalone56]

@killwill07 Take it from someone who has done both, marching band takes a lot more skill and brain power than football. You have to know where you have to be on the field AT ALL TIMES, and you have to know how many steps you have to make it from one picture to the next. You also have to play music, breathe correctly, maintain proper horn angle, remain in step, keep your cool, listen across the entire field, and on top of that stay supportive to a team that makes fun of us. Think again.

[danceCSMorris98]

@musicalone56 ahhh thank you finally, understanding. at least in football you dont get made fun of for doing something you love to do because it's fun. in marching band, we march despite what people think of us. find another activity to try to surpass wioth football, because nothing beats marching band.

[BlueburryStorm13]

@musicalone56 i got your back!!! field shows are the hardest thing EVER! i play the trumpet and they decided to put the drums behind me and got hit by the base drums a few times!!!

[tacoanefmopsie]

@musicalone56 I'm a sophomore in school and I'm in marching band. I never really thought of it thst way, but drill is definitely challenging. Glad to see someone understands:)

[zinkerbel]

@musicalone56 Yep third year in marching band. Its like any other sport. If you cant take practicing memeorizing not hitting other peopl, listen across the band watching a drummajor being in step, counting, practicing again, and being aware of ur surroundings this is not for you. If dont pay attention someone WILL get hurt. Shout out to all my fellow marchers out there.!!!!

[XxKiD94xX]

lol thats bad ass haha im in band too but i play flute haha!!!

[bobby63huppert]

danb kids there is some people try to play ball back there

[iluvme4never]

Haha, my old high school did this until the year before I moved there.

[Drum4YourCountry]

shitty drumming to go with shitty band

[crosmandudelol]

no suicide?

[Lightningbladesonic]

Hey! Our drum line has this cadence! Our baby tenors play it pretty well!

[ohtengeneral]

You know it doesn't really count if it's trumpets... Trombones are where the fun is.

[MrDabomba13]

@ohtengeneral well jezz trumpets have to have fun somewhere but you have a point.

[rsviderpkk1ng]

its NOT sped up its all REAL TIME look at the people walking if u dont believe me

[jtrainn423]

the football players are like WTF?!?!?!?!?

[angelgotswag27]

my school band has been doing that move waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before you guys

[Tuba408Bass]

I think that Trombone Suicides should just stay with trombones. Having trumpets do it along with the bones is just stupid.

[sisenikelet]

GO GIRL TROMBONES

[mikers3000]

Only CSU can do this great, it's their thing. As for the drumline......

[chreveir]

Sounds a lot like the CSU trombone suicide cadence...

oh.

wait.

[Krylir1]

lol i havent replied to this in about 3 months lol

[essbee11]

it would've been better if it was all trombones

[WorldOfLewis]

look at the man walking in the background at 0:37 onwards, proves this is not sped up.

[gtfomybrbk]

if you really think that is sped up you've gotta be the dumbest person i've ever seen post a comment on youtube....watch the people behind the brass and you can tell its not sped up...

[TrueVel]

@gtfomybrbk Exactly...everyone has to hate on everything they see just because they can't do it themselves...I envy their skill and its easy to tell by the crowd, coaches, and players on both the bench and field...that its real time..

[ProdigyStepper]

trumpets do have it a bit esaier

[itssjoseii]

haha. last time we had a trumpet and trombone suicide together... uhh, someone ended up with only 7 teeth, not a pretty view...

[samhamd315]

man thats some scary shiz. with my luck i would have been black and blue in the face

[jwpolar]

PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTE

[DaJbrahs]

@jwpolar wow....all i have to say is FUCK YOU!!!!! thank you. this has been a public service announcement. if you have a problem with it dial 756-EAT-SHIT.

[matacoz]

Very good!

[FiaraFantasy]

wicked! Saw this done recently, but not as fast. These guys are coordinated.

[JPreigns]

Halftime is gametime.

[thelovelybandgeek]

um dumbasses its not sped up. if you actually stop being idiots and look in the BACKGROUND of them doing the suicides its still normal speed.....

[johnbeyer]

This is amazing. I love it

[bloodvein3]

lol the trombone in the red shirt on the right wasn't even close to hitting that girl on the trumpet! the trumpet player literally deemed it unneccesary to duck.

[icefire5555]

If you think the video is sped up, you didn't watch the coach walking around in the background.  its choppy low quality footage, but its not tampered

[bravoballer2]

heh they think there cheering for them

[K3nnyg22]

heh, I remember trying to do suicides with my Sax section...

everyone mind-fucked

[Beckasaur]

i hope i NEVER have to do that D;

[tpark2012]

if only my trombone section was big enuff to do that

and yes i am the self proclaimed leader of the low brass at my school

[trumpetplayer231]

yes it is obviously sped up

[Sheffy0852]

this deff was not sped up... it is real time watch the player on the field but this really is a poor excuse for a drumline

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

Highschool sucks.

[expostfactum]

Thats a shit load of money if they screw it up.

[Filipeeno]

Doesn't look sped up to me. Look at the football players talking in the background. Crowd in the foreground just look like they're bobbing their heads to the beat.

[zeron8195]

eh percussion sounds kinda like pretty messy..maybe its just the location tho

[delmar688]

love that the football team is watching lol

[kibaasuma312]

haha trumpets try to fit in but they just cant XD

[SSgtM60Kitten]

Needs moar Sousa.

[SliceOvCheese]

and if you still think its sped up.. look at the football players.. moving slow like usual :)

[pattjk]

looks like a few football players are jealous. ;)

[trvrlyn]

I like this version of the helicopter cadence... and the brass line thing is really cool.

[niceguytim]

Sorry, but it would be more impressive if the actually played some music while they did that.

[SPDSTA05]

@niceguytim that would be cool yes, but trust me, damn near impossible. Its hard to just hold the horn straight when we are doing it at speed, let alone having a mouthpiece pressed to our mouths.

[blahblibidyblahblah]

@niceguytim even the university bands that do this gag don't play at the same time. It would sound like crap and it's ridiculously dangerous. Come on, Tim, be a nice guy!

[astod20378]

yeah that girls trumpet got the end of the girls trombone, painfully leading it back into her mouth region cause severe hemoraging

[BreatheThisAir]

I love when the Brass instruments do that. It's really cool to watch the other bands do from the stadium. :) Dangerous, but cool.

[LtGerbal]

ever try this with actual marching tubas. not fun, but it was, but we lost two tubas that way. we swung um so fast when the hit the welds broke not a happy band director

[Lordofthewaste]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKK SUPER COOL

[Brhody1994]

CLEAN THEM BEATS. por favor

[GUitAriSt2354]

freakin beastly

[Sleyah]

We have a pretty good team at my school...too bad for us with the band, we're a little unappreciated at times. :)

[PatientxWhatsername]

@Sleyah Our team sucks. Yet everybody hates the band. I don't understand it. The band works harder and longer and hey, we win. :D And we do it with our shirts ON. :P

[Sleyah]

@PatientxWhatsername It's a shame alot of people can work so damned hard and still not get the recognition of a football player. But we're still awesome. ;)

[gabbyXDful]

i would have ended up hurting my self or seveirly injuring some1 else

[sanderson12904]

My entire h.s. marching band did this during performance.

[falloutboy7778]

SOUS SUICIDES ARE 10 TIMES BETTER BECAUSE YOU SEE A FUCKING BELL FLYING AT YOUR FACE YOUR SCARED SHITLESS. Trust me we tried it and my friend dekker hit the other kid ik in the face and knocked him out for bout 10 minutes

[magicsuperman13]

Wow that is really good

[nusua]

during the end, the girl next to the left (your left) of the guy in the red, ducks down. did she get hit?

[FlaviaR]

Definitely not sped up - these are teen aged boys :-) Thanks for sharing - it's great!

[WillyCatsMom]

This is awesome! No it's not sped up, they really did it! You can tell from watching the video over again. Truly awesome!

[peoplehatemycomments]

hahaha football players take note..The drumline is getting more booty then you tonight! Watch all the players at the top of the screen turn around and watch them

[BluePulseFlyer]

thats awesome funny tho are brass section did the same thing to a verry simalar cadance this year i thought it origonal lol

[Datboied09]

that drumline is killing me, so bad.

[shadow331099]

Ijust finished watch DCI videos and accidently clicked this and i can say that this was actually almost as entertaining GEWD VAUN! guys

[shadow331099]

Any dumbfuck who says the vid is spedd up is yeh a dumbfuck. The d-line is giving them a tempo and they speed up the tempo as does the horns

[betteboop57]

I absolutely LOVE when my son's section does this! Although, it still scares me to death that someone is gonna get knocked out!

The second set speed up is incredible!!!  GOOD JOB!!

Where is Thornton HS?

[TheLilyReynolds182]

You can tell you like speeded it up!!...

[Physcolover11]

Now that's what I call s brass suicide :)

[VMFA115Starloric]

Uh, guys, I'm thinking that if the video was sped up, everything would sound like Mickey Mouse..

It's not sped up, dumbasses..

[Sabot46290]

This reminds me of the good ol' days of doing high school Friday nights...sometimes I miss that infectious energy now that I'm all "grown up" and in the Real World now. Sped up or not (I'm inclined to believe not), it's certainly all in good fun.

[mlschelpat]

@Sabot46290 Yeah, too bad about the "real world". Anyway, the kids picked up the pace the 2nd time around to make it more fun for the crowd & themselves. (Believe me, it was much more enjoyable than the game.) What you see here is REAL TIME - no tricks - I know, I shot it and posted it here. mlschelpat

[Sabot46290]

@mlschelpat Easy way to tell that it's realtime: watch the football game :)

[sgtpepper1138]

@Sabot46290 If it was sped up(it's not), the people in the background would be sped up as well.

[BrentTheBarretHD]

@Sabot46290 im in the same situation you are. I absolutely loved friday night football/halftime shows. its what i went to school for. Band was always my fav thing. Even above football,Track, Cross Country, even tho i was good in all 3 of those- i exceeded in band on the Trombone. and i know this video wasnt sped up. Ive seen this done and they sped up as well. ppl need to shut up.

[Maidenman92]

why speed it up?

[mlschelpat]

@Maidenman92 The kids up'd their speed - the vid is real-time. I should know but thanks for taking the time to comment.

[Friday702Musicality]

I wish our highschools crowd was this loud... the only time they're this loud is when their is a close game, or when we play the War Chant.. ugh. Lol. I'd love to have this crowd someday.. mmhm.

[Marchingfreak123]

the guy, second from the right messed up but recovered on his first step lol but he recovered really fast

[CurtisRoxAtGuitar]

dam if our band director wouldve of let us do shit like this, maybe i wouldve stayed in...

[crystallinentity]

Most of the slides are so high it would miss them even if they didn't duck. Kinda like a cheap martial arts movie.

[afrosensuous]

I looked at it also, it's real time and a very good move. Imagine the rehearsals...black eyes...busted lips...people cussin each other out...

[marlf583]

nooooooooooooooooooooo mancheeeeeeeees!! =O

[byah704]

that was amazing!

[Krylir1]

yeah i was gonna write again cause i looked at it twice and i looked at the football team and it was real time, i couldnt even correct myself, i just had to go to another video lol

[InvaderMimi]

yay trombones i wish we could do that but we only have one trombone =[

[Citydogz45]

Nice job we have a suicide but its like 64 counts and we do it durning oir full show on the field i wud neva try it wit bones tho id b scared id get wacked wit the slide

[schsbandgeek1]

that was soo cool

[mlschelpat]

@Krylir1 nope, wrong. real time. I know, I filmed it.

[RTGUSAS]

@Krylir1 If you were smart, you'd have looked at the football team too. Watch the people around them walk...they definitely don't look like they're being sped up...

[93tiny08]

@Krylir1 yeah look at the crowd.....realise they are trying to keep the beat then notice the players behind the band walking rather NORMALLY get with it or get glasses....they rock :D

[miniatureme95]

@Krylir1 1 that is the band and 2 watch the football players:)

[squirrelpelt14]

@Krylir1 look at the football team, its not sped up.

[GetTiefBlauAndDie]

@Krylir1 If this is sped up, then those are some really fucking slow football players walking around in the top right corner.

[seiz33]

thats rite!!! THS all day baby

[TheRancher350]

hey wht is tht cadance call im in the high school band and we have one tht sounds like nice vid though

[ctuckdrummer350]

cool visual but playing was dirty as shit

[anxietyisland]

Church!!!!!

[mitrumpetplaya]

that was 9 different kinds of awesome.

[mkyb843]

@mitrumpetplaya actually it was 11, you forgot to count the ninja on the end with a trombone on fire

[259racer]

@mitrumpetplaya actually that was 9 different kinds of stupid

[The51Clarinet]

that was so beast

[FreddyLopez321]

We are trying this its not to hard but were just f*cking scared of hurting each other

[yuliochavez]

they on steroids!!!!!

[highfly3003]

Nice . one error and its all over
