This is pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing! I was blown away when I saw that a rehearsal was interspersed with performance. I still have nightmares from time to time where I get thrown into a show that I didn’t prepare for.
I did the same thing right when band camp started for my freshman year (I’m a sophomore rn in high school). I’m loving mellophone with a passion. I’m also thinking marching dci( blue devils) when I get out if high school. I think you’ll love it even tho you might of already switched. Mellophone is the best.
After marching my senior year, I teared up a bit at the end. I decided to start in Dca corps and then dci. Being in marching band was so much fun. I just couldn’t. I love the enthusiasm from this marching band. “The end is what you love” as someone marched their last year making memories.
Trevor, I have recently tried using a go pro to take a video of myself during marching band. For some reason, my mellophone sounds really bad and almost like an earape. Any suggestion to change settings? (I have a go pro hero 7 black)
No. Its the drumline on the far back sideline clapping in unison. Watch Sean Clarks center snare cam or Miles Kenobbies snare/quad cam to see what it is.
This will probably be my go back to video to see how I can improve, because you're such a model! I play a high F at the end of our show this year same as 3:46, but I'm definitely going to work on making it project louder and clearer just like you did. Still got 3 more years as a freshman!
