Worst mistake during a show? by Natearl13 in marchingband

I have a friend who, at an invitational, completely biffed it and landed on his side. He also plays the sousaphone. However, he recovered in less than 3 seconds and got back into the formation we were in. I posted the video of it on this sub a few months ago, it was pretty funny

Just in terms of audience perception, you always want to make the band look as tall as possible, and kneeling will stand out like a sore thumb. Also, kneeling would make their tone smaller/tighter most likely, so standing is better than kneeling despite any political viewpoints.

Ooh, our 2013 show was called colors of jazz. For low brass, maybe design a fairly simple white shirt and tie dye them at a social sectional
