  • HenvY, on 05/08/2008, -475/+39Although it's pretty funny and we don't know if there's a backstory(if he's doing it repeatedly...), the guy comes across as an asshole. He trips up a little kid potentially injuring him and then is proud enough of himself to take a bow?
    • edilclyde, on 05/08/2008, -3/+142look carefully, i think the kid is giving the band members the finger..
    • greenlight2001, on 05/08/2008, -3/+168Kid learned his lesson though, didn't he? Best lessons thought are lesson hard learned.
      • greenlight2001, on 05/08/2008, -6/+33*Taught ... where's my coffee?
      • Bilabrin, on 05/08/2008, -0/+13It takes a village...
      • PoonGnarfler, on 05/08/2008, -14/+5*Guys arm rips off* "And thats why you don't give Band members the finger"
        • PoonGnarfler, on 05/09/2008, -1/+0First time I've ever put up an Arrested Development reference that got Dugg down...
    • WCL23, on 05/08/2008, -9/+239The guy comes across as an asshole because he actually does something about a stupid disrespectful child running around giving band members the finger during a performance? Wow, your child is going to turn out just fine i'm sure.
      • HenvY, on 05/08/2008, -81/+6And I imagine your child will overreact a lot.
        • gyrfalcon, on 05/08/2008, -5/+65No they'll just be better than yours.
          • HenvY, on 05/08/2008, -51/+3Maybe, but I have a bigger penis than you.
            Oh, sorry, was that too immature?
          • alpha19, on 05/08/2008, -1/+30@HenvY: Yeah, kinda like the kid running through the middle of the band.
          • HenvY, on 05/08/2008, -40/+2Or gyrfalcons comment. :)
      • HypocriteDigg, on 05/08/2008, -28/+4HAHAHA I find it hilarious that the kids raised by redneck conservatives like you ALWAYS turn out the worst. They pretend to be normal, but when they are finally caught they always end up being the ones who are selfish lawbreakers.
        • ludar, on 05/08/2008, -8/+4one major problem with you argument is us redneck conservatives actually give are kids a good spanking when they need it to keep them in line, nothing hard enough to actually hurt them, just enough to let them know not to do that again.
        • IllBeBack, on 05/08/2008, -8/+6@ludar:
          "actually give are kids"
          ARE?! You are proving the point that you're an ignorant dumbass.
        • Mothrog, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1The guy's English, *****.
    • andbruno, on 05/08/2008, -8/+117You suck. I hope you never have kids, because it's people like you that raise kids like that little asshole.
      The tuba player is a hero.
      • Willravel, on 05/08/2008, -0/+35Firemen are heros. That tuba player was funny.
    • PacoDEmu, on 05/08/2008, -2/+90He wasn't taking a bow, he was laughing hard enough to double over.

      And judging by how quickly the kid got back up and ran away, I'm sure he's fine.
      • GopherChucks, on 05/08/2008, -1/+15No, that's a bow. The common way to take a 'bow' while wearing a sousaphone that can weigh anywhere from 22-30lbs is to do the little umpa-squat he did. Three reasons:

        While it's not EXTREMELY heavy, it would be easy to lose your balance, especially if moving (yes, you can bow and march at the same time)

        The sousy's shifting weight when tipped forward would potentially pull the mouthpiece from your face, which makes it hard to blow into :)

        3rd - if you bow down and face the ground, all of a sudden that cannon of sound is pointed into the ground 10 feet in front of you instead of the grand stands.
        • Nekiruhs, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8Someone was at one point a marching band member. Sousaphones/tubas pwn!
        • dudeguy1234, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3And here I was thinking it was a victory teabag :(
    • robalesi, on 05/08/2008, -1/+96Welcome back "Doesn't get the joke" Guy. We've missed you while you've been vacationing in Douchebagistan.
      • HenvY, on 05/08/2008, -29/+5Doesn't get the joke? I submitted the story and shouted it as hilarious you retard.
        • cphoover, on 05/08/2008, -2/+15haha i love how he gets dugg up and you get dugg down
        • robalesi, on 05/08/2008, -1/+10Ok, so now you're "Guy who decides to reply to every person who responds to my post" Guy. You also suck.
        • mikesbaker, on 05/08/2008, -1/+11really posting the first comment on your own submission??? seriously, how was Douchebagistan?
        • H1tchh1k3r, on 05/08/2008, -0/+7It's just not the same without him, he's a king you know
      • vinnythekidd, on 05/08/2008, -1/+6Douchebagistan hahaha! *wipes tear*
    • HypocriteDigg, on 05/08/2008, -33/+4I agree. Don't listen to these dumb ass diggiot nerds who don't give a ***** about anything except for themselves.
    • cphoover, on 05/08/2008, -37/+9i also agree with you henry. you have to realize that a good majority of the people here on digg are ***** moron teenage 15-16 yo boys

      If that was my kid I would have to have kicked that guys ass. sure he should be scolded,
      but you dont ***** do that to a 6-7 year old. what if that kid cracked his head open.

      oh well i guess he deserved duh. ***** digg.. you people are rediculous
      • jneiger01, on 05/08/2008, -2/+21much like your spelling
        • cphoover, on 05/09/2008, -4/+1much like the comment system that wont ***** let me change my post ridiculous is
        • Dano8293, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2There's also a check spelling button included in the comment system...
        • Monkeydew06, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2@cphoover, You're given a 30 second period in which to change your post. I can't help but notice that even after being called out on spelling errors, your grammar still sucks.

          BTW your sentence reads: (implies) "you people are rediculous" (/implies) "much like the comment that wont ***** let me change my post ridiculous is"
      • WhatInThe42o, on 05/08/2008, -0/+19I shouldn't waste my time with this, but if you (presuming you're a 'grown man') attack a high school student for attacking your little ***** kid, I'm pretty sure the hypocrisy would tear a hole in the fabric of reality.
        • cphoover, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1if this is a highschool student he could very well be in a university marching band

          high school students are around 15 - 18 years old

          this kid looks as if hes 7.
      • haus34, on 05/08/2008, -0/+14that kid looked plenty old enough to know that was unacceptable behavior, especially in a public place such as that. it was highly disrespectful both to the people playing and the audience to run around making an ass of himself as such. id be ***** embarrassed if that was my kid
        • mikesbaker, on 05/08/2008, -1/+9i would have beat the ***** out of him if it was my kid both publicly and bad enough to have cps called on me
      • gtank92, on 05/08/2008, -2/+3don't get on digg then
      • STARTSOMETHING, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Spare the rod, spoil the child.
    • GoatRoper, on 05/08/2008, -1/+60As a 36 year old father to 4 girls and 2 boys I can wholeheartedly tell you that if that was my kid I would pat that tuba player on the back for a move well played. Sometimes if the parents are too stupid to take care of their kid a good surrogate will work :)
      • goatworship, on 05/08/2008, -2/+23Glad there are still people in this world that believe in discipline.
      • makkaveli19, on 05/08/2008, -0/+20no offense. but it's a vagina, not a clown car.
        • GoatRoper, on 05/08/2008, -0/+17Married-->Divorced-->Remarried (blended families). But yes, I get that alot, lol
        • hurben, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5Beautiful!! Hahah!
        • iCanHasUsername, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2{quote}
          This is why I love Digg
          {end quote}
    • Breticus07, on 05/08/2008, -5/+6lol your just a loser dude
    • robalesi, on 05/08/2008, -2/+14So let me get this straight. You submit this, what, to teach people a lesson in how mean tuba players can be to undisciplined youths? And then you get mad at people who think that this kid got what he deserved? Just clarifying. Also, you suck.
    • indyracing, on 05/08/2008, -1/+7Being in a marching band myself, it's a very rude thing for people, in this case a stupid kid, to walk through the band when they could just go around....
    • L4WL3RS34L, on 05/08/2008, -0/+16Buried because HenvY is also the submitter.
    • elhaf, on 05/08/2008, -0/+7In particular, that kid is endangering thousands of dollars worth of musical instruments. If instead the sousaphone player had tripped, disaster would have ensued. Epic fail on your part and his. But thanks for posting.
    • UtilityPole, on 05/08/2008, -1/+6You're the parent of that hyperactive "indigo" child.

      Aren't you.
    • Squally425, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6Meh, everyone falls at least once in the process of "growing up".
      If he learns a lesson, then kudos to the tuba player for trippin the kid.
      If not, trip him again. He'll eventually learn =)
    • iheartrendering, on 05/09/2008, -2/+2HenvY's, my dear friend, I would absolutely love to take a huge steaming ***** on to your chest.

      Then throw my tuba at you.
      • homer420032003, on 05/09/2008, -1/+1***** you Sir, I spilled my maruchan. ***** YOu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • nga911, on 05/09/2008, -3/+2 .
    • bfchickenchaser, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Don't be that guy...
    • mrblonde314, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2THINK OF THE CHILDREN! OH THE HUMANITY! You helmet. Go shave your vagina.
    • notanidiot, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Who the ***** cares if its right or wrong, seeing that kids face smack the ground was hilarious.
  • daysleeperchuk, on 05/08/2008, -8/+957I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure this is the reason the internet exists
    • orangekid13, on 05/08/2008, -22/+147You are wrong, sir. The internet is for porn!
    • Rov3r, on 05/08/2008, -0/+43Tuba player: 'Yes! I'm on the internets!'
      • Locke2053, on 05/09/2008, -0/+11Tuba player: 'It's NOT a tuba! It's a sousaphone! My 15 minutes are ruined!'
    • ElbertF, on 05/08/2008, -2/+25I watched it 47 times.

      I'm going to watch it some more now.
    • veriix, on 05/08/2008, -5/+12Nope, the internet (ARPANET) was created so government agencies could share their porn collections.
    • crawf061, on 05/08/2008, -8/+33Break sucks:
      http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q4G7rQDg-BM
      • seraph582, on 05/08/2008, -3/+7ah thankya. Break does suck!
      • firstpost, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2and the original source is http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/100351/162f3774/fa ...
      • DevinOlsen, on 05/08/2008, -2/+12I'm curious... What is it that you have against Break? I prefer YouTube for searching and finding videos... But if i am looking for a quick laugh, break seems to be the place to go. Their front page 'almost' always has something funny on it.
        Please don't bury me for this :( I'm in no way trying to say Break is any better then YouTube... I am just wondering, that's all.
        • kcap122, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6Break pays its users if a video they submit gets a lot of hits. The problem is that they don't really have a system in place to check if a submitted video was ripped off of another site.
          So by visiting Break, your visit is logged, fueling the system that rewards internet plagiarism.
      • DubiousDrewski, on 05/09/2008, -1/+0Yes Break is awful. I wait for it to buffer to watch it once, and then if I want to watch it again, it has to buffer again? Wtf? Then if I click too much in the play bar, it just freezes up. It also doesn't tell you how much it's buffered, so you have no idea if it's broken or what. What a crappy player.

        Whenever there's a break.com video on Digg, I just go look for the youtube version.
    • pigducksheep, on 05/08/2008, -4/+2it's a series of tubes!
      • Issius, on 05/08/2008, -1/+2but you can't like, put a truck in it can you?
    • dougdiggerton, on 05/08/2008, -1/+6you don't have to be sorry
      • 36CrzyFsts, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1that was so epic i hope that kid got hurt!
  • takeiteasy2, on 05/08/2008, -6/+97annoying kid
  • motogoat, on 05/08/2008, -10/+304***** with the horns, you'll get the bull. Maybe it'll teach that ***** kid a lesson that your desire for safety should be greater than your need for attention.
    • shmatt, on 05/08/2008, -1/+47i blame the parents
    • Modestexcuse, on 05/08/2008, -3/+2Well said motogoat. I couldn't agree more.
    • Gir53457, on 05/08/2008, -3/+11... I see what you did there... Well played.
    • Trigononamous, on 05/08/2008, -0/+9***** yeah, let's hear it for the Brass section!
      • norcalscan, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Drumline FTW! Although we commend you for taking care of that kid. If they ran through us, he wouldn't have left out the other side. :)
        • bandgeek217, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1you drummers are all talk. Low Brass will always rule. Tuba FTW!
    • Shelter22, on 05/08/2008, -10/+3i always thought it was mess with the bull, get the horns?
      • bencefeher, on 05/08/2008, -0/+8Tuba...wind instrument...horn...kid ran in front of them...I give up.
      • gwellington, on 05/08/2008, -0/+9*woosh*
      • Modestexcuse, on 05/08/2008, -1/+2Do you get it now Shelter?
    • notanidiot, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1You sir, have won! Awesome use of wordplay!!!
  • edilclyde, on 05/08/2008, -2/+549Perfect timing with the cymbals.
    • destron, on 05/08/2008, -0/+41I was about to say... I swear that was intentional xD
    • srhinesmith, on 05/08/2008, -2/+31Deep down inside I know the tuba player timed the cymbal crash with the trip up. I hope.
    • Jennefah, on 05/08/2008, -0/+20The timing of that cymbal crash made it for me. It's almost like they choreographed it.
    • Soave, on 05/08/2008, -0/+19Hahaha wow. It's like there's a pause in the music as the kids falling, and it resumes as soon as he hits the ground. Great stuff.
  • Elliottx, on 05/08/2008, -6/+291"A minor, D flat, trip this kid up, take a bow...B sharp..."
    Man that little bastard went flying head first into the ground. All that pent up high school torture was released in that one beautiful moment. Go Tuba player guy, go!
    • colonelpanic, on 05/08/2008, -16/+47A Minor= scale.
      B#=note.
      • shmatt, on 05/08/2008, -21/+6Actually B# != note. There is no B#.
        • TomKarpik, on 05/08/2008, -4/+29Bzzt. A B# is technically a C, though the name "B sharp" is used in certain keys.
        • shmatt, on 05/08/2008, -26/+3actually there is NO B sharp or E sharp, or C flat or F flat. That's just the way it is my friend. If you say B sharp people will know what you're talking about, but it's still wrong, much like using words such as "misunderestimated" or "nucular"
          • patm1987, on 05/08/2008, -0/+18notes like B#, double sharp, double flat, and C flat crop up whilst transposing music. Sharp and flat just tell you to take a half step (so C flat would be B if you came across it), and C double flat would be B flat (where D double flat would be C). It's really quite entertaining when you're playing and instinctively reach for where, say, C flat would be (usually hitting B and C at once in my case) or just stare at a double sharp sign since I've seen it but once in sheet music.
          • Alegoo92, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3You're right if the music you read was meant for a middle school band. Once you are in more complex scales that use accidentals more frequently, B#'s, Fb's, and all of those types of notes appear so that there won't be a confusing amount of natural and scale markings.
          • withoutamartyr, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2Yes. It's called an enharmonic. B# is used in certain keys.
          • Nekiruhs, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Wow. Even my audition piece this year has several E#'s in it, yes there is indeed an E# and B# and a Cb
          • AmICoolNow, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3There is a B sharp...technically it's as much of a note as C is.
          • horscategorie, on 05/09/2008, -1/+1Even the GWB slam won't get you diggs here, my man
        • drachemorder, on 05/08/2008, -2/+20Yeah there is. It's just the same as a C natural, in the same way that G# is the same as Ab. Sometimes it's useful to write a C natural as B# to fit into the paradigm of the key you're playing in.
        • shmatt, on 05/08/2008, -8/+2Yeah but that's why there is the distinction in the first place. when you are sight-reading that can be a real pain to have to think "oh they mean C, play a C" ... if someone says it's in B sharp, they will invariably get a funny look and be asked "you mean C?" So why not just use it correctly. playing music is hard enough already.
          • inbred, on 05/08/2008, -1/+5It seems like you think you know what you're talking about.
          • WebWorker, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1So now you're saying because it's easier to say one thing, that the another way of saying it does not exist... neat logic!
          • AmICoolNow, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1I get what you're saying, but I think you're wrong on this one.
        • kenplaysviola, on 05/08/2008, -0/+22What you all are describing is C being the enharmonic of B#. B# exists, especially if you're playing in a key such as C#-major (7 sharps). Sure, it sounds the same as C, and nobody could tell the difference between a B# and C (actually you can, but lets not go into tempered tuning versus other types of tuning). On a theoretical level, it makes sense to write a B# instead of a C in the key of C#-major. Don't forget you also have double-sharps/double-flats. Double-sharps=x, and double-flats=bb. So why use them? Again, it's because of the theory behind it all. An Abb sounds exactly the same as a G. Go take a look at some of the Bach 24 Preludes and Fugue, particularly the ones in the key of C#-major (7-sharps) and Gb-major (7-flats). You'll see double flats and double sharps all over the place, as well as our discussed B#'s, and yes, even the E#'s.
          • kenplaysviola, on 05/08/2008, -1/+8*oops* Gb-major = 5 flats.
          • flashcat7777, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Wrong again... Gb-major is 6 flats. Cb-major is 7 flats. Db-major is 5 flats.
          • kenplaysviola, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1flashcat7777 - you are correct. Gb-major = 6 flats!
        • MixMastaKooz, on 05/08/2008, -2/+14Ha! Band Camp Nerds.... :P
        • Vindexus, on 05/08/2008, -0/+8C# is a programming language.
      • Mikhail101, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4Enharmonics you freaking noob.
    • NotOptium, on 05/08/2008, -10/+4You're not alone, colonel.
      Horns can't play chords, and if they're playing an A minor followed by a D flat, it'll probably sound like *****. And if they're playing B sharp, why not just call it C?
      • RockeN5, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Am to DbM sounds good, buddy. There are times when its appropriate to use B-sharp as opposed to C in music composition, by the way.
        • Alegoo92, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3RockeN5 I agree with your second statement, but I never thought that A minor to Db major sounded good. Just played it, too, it's really not that great of a progression. Am -> DM is a nice one on the other hand.
          • inbred, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1That's because it's a i - iv progression, whereas Am to DM would be a i -IV progression, which doesn't make much sense in Western music. Go ahead and wrap it up by playing Am - Dm - Em - Am. i - iv - V - i, an very basic and common chord progression.
        • NotOptium, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1You could definitely play a Db after an Am, but it'd be difficult to get it to sound good. If it were a Db7 it'd sound alright, but chances are the chord wouldn't be voiced over the Db, so the tuba would be playing the B (which would actually be a C flat in this case). And I realize B# can be used in some keys, but it wouldn't ever be used in the key of Am, or anything with a Db in it because you can't have sharps and flats in the same key, unless there's an accidental.
    • drachemorder, on 05/08/2008, -0/+46B sharp? If you're the kid it's more like B flat.
    • jimmypoops, on 05/08/2008, -1/+31Its a sousaphone player not a tuba player
      • theragu40, on 05/08/2008, -1/+11I'd be willing to bet he plays tuba as well. You know, since they're played *exactly the same way*.
        • giid, on 05/08/2008, -1/+10By that logic we could also call him a trumpet, baritone, or euphonium player. The fingerings are the exact same.
          • punjab551, on 05/09/2008, -1/+0well, yes, but the bores are totally different on those other instruments. tuba and sousaphone are the most similar but that doesn't mean he plays tuba at all. i know kids that play sousaphone and then switch to bassoon in the symphonic band setting. meanwhile, i play euphonium, baritone and trombone: all the same bore size.

        • theragu40, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Well, I was referring to the embouchure as well as the fingerings, but I guess you've got a point. Either way, you'd have to do some learning to pick up a trumpet and play it as a tuba player. However, switching to sousaphone from tuba requires nothing other than a different way to hold it. Same key, same fingerings, same embouchure, same part in the music. The timbre of the sound isn't really even that different, except that the sousaphone tends to be a little brighter sounding.

  • mtdna, on 05/08/2008, -16/+436It's not a tuba, its a Sousaphone, you idiot. Anyone who has ever played Sousaphone Hero knows that.
    • theragu40, on 05/08/2008, -14/+76A sousaphone is a kind of tuba. Nice try though.
      • shmatt, on 05/08/2008, -6/+21Nope, they are distinct from one another, although they sound the same and are in the same key, it would be incorrect to call it a "sousaphone tuba." They also look completely different.
        • teoria, on 05/08/2008, -0/+18Actually calling a sousaphone a marching tuba is completely justified. The sousaphone was first invented the 1890's. John P. Sousa, one of the greatest writers of American marchers asked J.W. Pepper (I think that's the correct name) to develop a tuba which could be worn on the body and project the sound upward. They may be different designs, but they are, in the base root, tubas.
        • fenderbiz, on 05/08/2008, -0/+5teoria is correct
        • theragu40, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3They are distinct in that they are not identical physically or by name. However, a different shape and name doesn't make it not a type of tuba. And being in the same key doesn't have anything to do with it - there are tubas in Eb, F, and C as well as BBb, which is the standard key. It's only incorrect to call it a "sousaphone tuba" because it's called a sousaphone. Not because a sousaphone isn't a kind of tuba. I play both. In fact, so does anyone else who plays one or the other...because they're *the same*. Listen to teoria, he is correct.
        • macmankev, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Another tuba player chiming in to say teoria is correct. The tubing length of the sousaphone is the same as other tubas, it's just shaped differently so that it is wearable and more comfortable to carry and also projects the sound in the correct direction, towards the rest of the band and crowd instead of upward and away. Sure they also have marching tubas that one can perch on one's shoulder that projects in the same direction, but they're a bitch to play and carry at the same time. Indeed, argument settled.
      • RyanistheRyan, on 05/08/2008, -3/+5its funny to see how many nerds are arguing over whether something is a tuba or not.
      • quantumduck, on 05/08/2008, -4/+3It's a type of tuba in the same way a cornet is a type of trumpet: not at all.

    More interesting things have happened when morons at football games break rank all the way through the band and are still standing when the drum line comes through. Needless to say, there are usually accidental slips of the drum sticks which usually end up hitting whoever is breaking.

    While I probably wouldn't do something to an innocent child that accidentally got in the middle of a band, this kid is clearly being unruly.

    • kmlixey87, on 05/08/2008, -1/+3in my marching band, we did this frequently, its called a tuba shower
    • Whadabala, on 05/09/2008, -3/+2The tripping of the little bitch is still better.
  • tvz6, on 05/08/2008, -17/+2I'm pretty sure that is a sozaphone not a tuba but anyway good job on hurting little kids.
  • leerayIG88, on 05/08/2008, -13/+4God bless America.....
    • furly37, on 05/08/2008, -0/+10????? This is a video of some European town, probably in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland.
      • Jan33, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2You know what i think so too, based on that one blue parking sign...Id say germany.. they have those in usa? Also that other sign in the back there is typical germany for dead-end..
        • withoutamartyr, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2The architecture is a good indicator, too
    • Jan33, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6ah now i see - one of the comments on break.com puts it in holland
    • Shelter22, on 05/08/2008, -1/+2....and no one else!
    • j27lee, on 05/08/2008, -0/+7If it were in america, there'd be a story about a multi million dollar lawsuit attached...
  • Jan33, on 05/08/2008, -11/+6If the kid really had balls he'd run up from behind and kick the tubaguy in the ass after that, mid-song, before running away for good. I wuz expecting that. It did not happen.
  • MagikPoo, on 05/08/2008, -2/+32That'll teach the little *****.
  • frankingeneral, on 05/08/2008, -2/+15Well played tuba man...God I ***** hate obnoxious kids...
    • Jan33, on 05/08/2008, -8/+3You think it better to pump em full of ritalin or something than actually having to bear them acting like children?
      • barnett25, on 05/08/2008, -0/+11That kind of behavior was not acceptable long before ritalin was invented.
        • Jan33, on 05/08/2008, -1/+4I think its wrong to be violent with kids, but thats just me. The parents - what were they doing?
      • 1timeuser, on 05/08/2008, -1/+3They do need to act like children yes, but tuba players need to be around to trip them when they get out of line.
    • frankingeneral, on 05/08/2008, -1/+7I don't think ritalin is the answer either...but parents need to learn how to parent. My mother never would have let me run around like that in the middle of a bands performance.
  • audiophile8706, on 05/08/2008, -0/+12Reminds me of when I was in band... band director always told us "If someone gets in your way, RUN EM OVER!"

    Perfectly timed, never missed a beat. >= Awesome.
    • desqjockey, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1Unless you go to Stanfurd, where the opposite is true. Go bears!
  • hiteshsharma, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4Nice "performance".. Hope the kid got a lesson.
  • supermanky, on 05/08/2008, -4/+1That's pretty great.
  • jellygraph, on 05/08/2008, -12/+3That is funny, but also could have been very dangerous. The kid could have almost received a really serious blow to the head hitting the cement like that.
    • JupiterSSJ4, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4In marching band, we didn't stop for anything
    • johnmatias, on 05/08/2008, -1/+5Kids fall all the time. This one just happened to deserve it.
      • jellygraph, on 05/08/2008, -4/+3Kids get run over by cars by accident all the time, doesn't mean you should run them over deliberately if you think they deserve it... bizarre logic
        • elhaf, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2Horns get smashed all the time - doesn't mean you shouldn't stop someone from deliberately trying to cause it to happen.
          • jellygraph, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1by kicking them in the face, i gather...
            or how about snapping their necks... that would prevent horns from getting smashed... dolt

            alas, you would probably be one of those sickos who would laugh if the kid actually had been hurt bad and ended up as an invalid
    • infiNex, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Could have?? I was praying for it!
  • username484767, on 05/08/2008, -2/+5LOL, nice.
  • scot333, on 05/08/2008, -21/+6if that was my kid i would take that tuba player and shove that tuba up his ass and start playing it. everyone would be like "hay that tuba player is playing a tuba out his ass!"

    for real tho i wouldnt let me kid run around like that
    • Jan33, on 05/08/2008, -12/+4dugg for standing up for kids ... its the parents fault.
    • johnmatias, on 05/08/2008, -3/+7You're both idiots.
    • Kajarago, on 05/08/2008, -2/+4If that were my kid, I'd beat his ass for being a douche. Then, I'd shake the tuba player's hand for doing what he did.
      • cphoover, on 05/09/2008, -2/+1and id cut you like a pig if i saw it
  • SpeakerCity, on 05/08/2008, -0/+57What?? No slo-mo replay? Are we sure this is Break?
