I was there to watch you guys perform at Indianapolis! You guys did such a good job! I’m proud of you guys!❤❤❤ btw who is your band buddy? Cuz mine is Maci, the baritone soloist.
I know we definitely feel very lucky -- we go once every four years so that every student gets a chance to go once in their time at HHS. It trades off with different schools in our district going. Definitely not something I take for granted, I looked forward to it all of high school. :)
Hey Avery! I play tuba at the high school I go to and I’ve been learning to play horn. I just gotta say you have the tone of a drum corps marcher. Especially at that part where most of the band is doing the double tonging I’ve never seen anything like that in a high school band before. I hope you continue to do band through out your life because Hebron has really set a good foundation for your musical career (I’m quite envious as I’m in a pretty small program). Just thought I’d say that! Stay awesome 😁
Hello! Multi instrumentalist 9th grader here! I main all saxes, but my band director had me march baritone this year, and I am most likely going to be put on mello next year because all three of our mellos are seniors, and the section might go extinct....any tips? Also, I think this run was great!!
First off, jealous that you’re so talented! Congrats on marching bari too! I wrote a bit about mello tips in the comments, but just remember to support your air from below your abs and rely on your air rather than the pressure you put on your face. Don’t be afraid to play loud! Just blow steady air and have confidence in your sound!
@@averyjoelle Thank you so much! Also I meant baritone horn lol… I hated that thing, holding it at attention and standby are just too much for it’s weight, I wish I had marched bari this year! I can’t wait for next year, thank you so much, I will be subbing 😃
@@averyjoelle I definitely want to be in the spirit of Troy for usc one day! I definitely want to join dci but I’ve looked at the schedule for different corps and I’ve seen it somewhat interferes with my band camp and practice schedules
Haha we usually have like 3 or 4 people decide to do DCI after their senior year - not as often anyone currently in high school. Though that would be pretty cool! We had a couple people audition this winter.
I asked and the answer is indefinite😔they haven’t sent all the vids to their section leader yet and the one run they recorded was the run that was iffy for me too. It was mediocre for everyone but especially the trumpets (in their words)☹️
I play mello at Lone Star (5A area B Champions 💪) and we all love Hebron and I love your mello part I wish my section was good enough to play this stuff. Just wow. Major props to all of y’all ❤ Question: How fun are absolutely ripping out those high C’s like it’s nothing? Seems like it would be really fun lol
Thank you first off, and congratulations on being area champs!!! That’s so fun. To answer your question, it’s usually just a reminder of how exhausted I am in the moment, but when I watch film back I’m like ouuu this sounds cool! It’s tiring but fun to play high. Love tuning the high C in front of the whole band😬
I am currently an alto sax player, but I want to learn how to play mello, do you have any advise besides the obvious(the obvious being practice a ton and use plenty of air)
Support your air from below ur lower abs and use as little pressure as possible while still making a good sound! Utilize your air over your face as much and practice slowly! Pay attention to the little things. Fundamentals matter! I hope you like mello!
On Friday mornings we have a 6:45 rehearsal to get ready for football games! If we don’t have a game that week they’ll often move rehearsal to after school.
missing marching season. i got to see yall preform 3 times! in fact, at region our directors made us stay an extra hour just to watch yall! yall are amazing! congrats on all your wins this season!
