2022 DCI Austin/Round Rock - Drum Corp Prop Malfunction - Pacific Crest

I felt so terrible for them! I've never been a fan of these things. Over the years I've seen so many members fall and perhaps get seriously injured. Plus, it's the only thing I could pay attention to throughout the entire show. Ugh.

i hated those damn tarps so much. They were the BANE of my existence.

[@turkishdelight6032]

I always thought props like that were sketchy, but corps are using them more and more. They’re basically tarps that can blow over or gradually get crumpled up as members step on/kick the sides

[@Gearshoot]

Yeah, but if they are set up and weighted correctly they are far less of a problem. Those props now are set up properly and weighted. I know this because I’m currently marching with PC

[@Gearshoot]

Bro, leave us alone 😂

[@chernobyl_rat]

How’d that even happen? Did it not get placed right?

[@michaelohayon4562]

Windy

[@gravrod]

It was so windy that evening.... The Cavies didn't even use theirs.

[@ThatGuyWhoSpins]

LMFAOOOOO

[@vifcole]

He did a full exposé on you guys 😂

[@prismatic3695]

So is that large prop coincidentally almost identical to what the bluecoats used in 2018 or is it actually just one of their props?

[@josealcazar2922]

It's not coincidence. There show this year is supposed to be around like the DCI void. They have a handful of props from different shows throughout the years.

[@gravrod]

I loved it! They did a TILT

[@nickflores1508]

It actually is one of the chairs from Session 44! Several of the props were the originals that PC found and used.

RICHIE WATCH OUT FOR THE TARP- NOOOOOOOOO

[@mazda_rt24-p]

I think a guard member could have slipped in there and fixed it on their way somewhere

[@radredg7656]

thats why i hate tarps for props in marching shows

[@glennfjenkins2702]

Props on the field are wonderful and they certainly add character to the shows but one has to remember safety is among the most priority in these products that people are using are getting more and more consistent with trouble with the kids I just hope in the future that these props will be able to be safe for the kids to be able to use on the field it can be scary if something ever goes wrong

[@Gearshoot]

The tarps are weighted now so this stuff doesn’t happen during performances.

[@KIDICARIS]

Wait why are there tarps on the ground. Lololol omg who's idea was this.

[@ThatIsJustCrazyTalk]

You know how you can fix the ‘prop’ issue. Simple, don’t use the damned things.
