I second that! That guy is a Trombone GOD. AS a trombonist I know that playing trombone with good tone+ riding a unicycle+ making it look good= absolute MAD SKILLS!!
if you didn't know...the guy playing the trombone on the unicycle got into some accident when BLAST! was on tour in japan and he got paralyzed from like waist down i believe. Lot of staff from the Madison Scout Drum and Bugle Corps know him. **2010 member**
horn upside down with good tone quality? daaaamn. my hero. ^_^ not to mention west side story is my all time favorite musical, and blast is my favorite physical theatre, so this is definitely my favorite performance ever. :D
Back in the day (1993) There used to be a drum corps called "Star of Indiana". They put one of the most innovative shows in DCI history leaving their mark on the activity. After that they started working on a concept called brass theater, which took everything great about drum corps and put it on stage. This Idea eventually became Blast.
It never amazes me how people don't bother to read. It says "Officer Krupke" in the video itself, yet the title on the youtube page here is "Officer Krumpke."
This song is off "West Side Story", which alot of their songs are based off. And the song is mocking him. I was in the play like 6 months after I saw this and was able to hear the lyrics. And the song is actually "Gee Officer Krupke".
Yep, that's right. They chose to put a TROMBONE on the unicycle, and that's why we rock- we're the most versatile brass instrument, not to mention we are the wackiest ones, too!!
First: Why gay? I happen to know a gay person, and they happen to be very nice. Second: No need to be hostile- I happen to think that brass in general is very, VERY cool. I have a friend who plays trumpet and she agrees with me that both trumpets and trombones are awesome! All I said is that we are the wackiest and most versatile. So just chill! Third: Why lol?

i love Blast!! i m going to see them again today at the paramount theater in Aurora
this is such wacked out chaos. i love it.
omg...I can't imagine riding a unicycle AND playing TROMBONE! on it at the same time! That guy is freakin insane!
Wow! What a performance! I especially liked the unicycle-riding trombone player and the spinning marimba

This couldn't have been a more perfect rendition 😅😅

Does this kick ass, ... or what?!!!
Krup you!
Maravilha de espetáculo
Thank you to thesousabone and Blast! for putting a smile on my face. Great video.
Trombone playing unicyclist FTW!!!!
@esonoera It's not the guy in this video--he's in a later Blast cast. We marched drum corps together!
OMG thats so beast!!!!! :D
but whats with the random simpsons theme XD
I like when Crash Cymbals does the airplane at 0:48
I love you XD Just plain genius
It's like being high without the drugs XD
Agreed, they're difficult enough done separately!
これ、スキ💗✨
LOL! THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE!
They do in some parts. Watch split complimentaries or malaguena to see.
Is that a contra that has the replacement valve or something so you can play it like a concert tuba?
yeah! go blast!
um, the former Star of Indiana field corps. i believe.
Ah, chaotic, musical pandemonium at its absolute craziest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
definately
gotta have some of that Danny Elfman thrown in there
Oh ok. All the tubas at my school are made in norway or something, they look like polka tubas.. so i wasnt sure. lol
That would be a concert tuba.
i love the mans face at 1:14-1:18
1:58 SABRE DANCE?!
I don't think that was the Simpsons theme. It was "London Bridge is Falling Down", no?
I think im gonna learn how to ride a unicycle and play a sousaphone, or contra. I dont know which would be easier
Go Trombone Guy!!!!!
1:39 is fuckin awesome! lol
this reminds me of the simpsons theme xD
do you euphonium. A lot of sax players switch. I did :P
Could someone explain Blast! to me?
@thesousabone i play one that big too.
But you don't want to try a unicycle with a tuba!!!! or do you?? I just don't dare.....
bucc!!!!!!!
It would be cooler if they used contras and Mellos.
Well there was the simpsons theme in the video if you didn't catch it...lol
I was kidding. I just wanted to see how people respond. =D
lol
BGFL, Like this if you get it, and you are it... like me
under normal circumstances I'd delete this. But I'm just gonna leave it here so people can make fun of you
Do euphonium*
