Independence HS Drumline State Send Off Snare Cam 2/15 

why this video blow up it's like my worst playing, go watch my actually decent stuff

Man it's nice seeing an HS that actually supports the band

You don't know HOW JEALOUS i am to be in a hs that actually supports their band. A great drumline can make all the school spirit.

Okay so I’m a school custodian. I have two observations. 1: that school is huge! 2: those hallways are waxed beautifully. Also, great job on the drums and congrats on going to states

wonderful drumming! im a kit drummer but im thinking about joining battery next year

HOW BIG IS INDEPENDENCE HIGH SCHOOL?! LIKE SERIOUSLY!!! HOW ARE Y'ALL ABLE TO GET TO CLASS ON TIME WITH SO MANY CORRIDORS, STAIRS, AND HALLS?! It makes my Alma Mater look small, but also less complicated.

I've never seen a marching band's snares not use traditional grip, but I've always waited for the time I finally saw one

and i’m a 7th grader that gets made fun of for being in the high school marching band. this makes my heart so happy honestly. we work just as hard possibly even harder than some sports and get picked on for making music. a hs supporting the band makes me just amazed? at my school all the band members get made fun of because we’re different.

big amount of respect to yall even playing in empty halls.

I remember when the middle school band would do this before our football games. Man it amped us up so much! We thought we were basically pro NFL players and roared onto the field that night like little lions. Man, I miss those days. This brought back so many good memories.

Im a 6th grader in beginning band and we cant do percussion till January 2023 and im so stoked to take that class and join the line next year. this is a amazing video!

No mistakes 💪

Our band would play the school fight song during homecoming season just like this. Teachers hated it because everyone would just get up in the middle of class to go watch the band.

I'm 40 and this gave me flashback goosebumpa about our competition weekends. Nothing beats a powerhouse drumline

all of that was super clean! props to those quads players, those were some crazy arounds. But as a snare player, snare on top👊🏻. I'd say either traditional grip or not it would look and sound great still.

Ah this made me go through my memories of being in marching band, I didn’t think I’d miss it this much. We also went around downtown and in the mayors office, basically our own personal parade chaperoned by the percussion instructor and someone’s dad. We had the Foot ball HoF parade, our rival parade, several band competitions even one hosted in the horseshoe! My highschool actually got mistaken for a college because of how large the campus was. The stadiums max capacity is 16,000 but it’s easily 20 during rival week and we have an in door complex too! Which actually made me mad because we were lucky to have practice in it during the summer and for the most part practiced on a 100 yard asphalt parking lot…still good times

Now I just want to learn a snare...

Hey dude! this was such an awesome video to watch! if you dont mind me asking, what cadences/pieces were played in the video?

A HS band is nothing without its snares! 🤘🏽👊🏽

Very nice, traditional grip would add another level

thats the calmest group of high school students ive ever seen

as a bass 1, i really love seeing other schools play bubbles :)

coming from a snare player this is sick!

Man this video makes me miss drumline so much. I was in a small school outside Cleveland Ohio. 4 snares 2 quads 4 basses an 2 cymbals. But gawd dayum when we would start off with our march out cadence the school would go nuts during pep rallys and even games. Thankful to have been apart of a great band/drumline those almost 20 years ago. Our band would dance to a few of our cadences and everyone loved it! This video got so many likes because it's great to see everyone supporting them but also it brings back great memories for alot of us as well! Makes me wanna pick up a marching snare again!

I played football in high school. We were terrible. But I swear we had the best drumline in the state of Texas. Our school came to watch the band, not us 😂😂😂

Dam glad too see high schools are still supporting drummers and bands keep up the great work

Longest 7 minutes I thoroughly enjoyed, well done

This brings back so many good memories, drumline will always have a place in my soul, I miss it dearly

I graduated in 2017 I actually miss seeing this in school and standing in the hall watching it go by

Unless this is some other Independence HS, I just wanna say seeing you guys perform is great! Always blow me and others in my HS’ marching band away. Keep being awesome!!

My drumline was different that we had a piano, guitar, bass guitar, drum set, speakers, and a microphone and the songs we played are all Sabaton songs that in the morning we play Red Baron an for nutrition we played Bismarck and for lunch we played Ghost Division and we do it every week playing different songs that Monday gets: Swedish Pagans, Defense of Moscow, and Christmas Truce Tuesday gets: Winged Hussars, Primo Victoria, and Steel Commanders Wednesday gets: Red Baron, Bismarck, and Ghost Division Thursday gets: Ballad of Bull, Dreadnought, and Panzerkampf Friday Gets: No Bullets Fly, The Last Stand, and Resist and Bite Saturday gets: Twilight Of The Thunder God, Attack Of The Dead Men, and Carolus Rex Sunday gets: Night Witches, Lady Of The Dark, and Hell and Back And yes we mix the songs on the next weekend

Only a few passed the vibe!!! You all sounded great!❤

Dude stick with it; truly brings a tear when you see honest dedication. And by the way; we are always our own worst critic. It's belief in one's self that drives. You are an awesome drummer. And this is a compliment from a DJ.

Man this guy is underrated 😮

whenever my school holds pep rallys and stuff the band always goes hard i love it

"Damn the drummers know the exit more than me!" - High schooler

That roll @ 3:54 sounds like a CIWS and I love it!

I LOVE SNARES BRO

In honor of those who serve in the Military

As someone who also plays the snare drum in band, this is a masterpiece

I can watch this for days, the same video. It is just perplexing, relaxing, epic, soothing and simply epic. That High School really supports their drumline. Awesome.

people in the comments are saying "its amazing to see such support for their school band!". They aren't their for the band kids, theirs a whole line of football players, basketball, dance team, or any other sport team behind them walking.

Imagine just walking into a school playin those things, I would feel powerful

I just started playing 4 months ago, and this definitely encouraged me to keep going! You guys are awesome 👏

❤🎉 MAN this reminds me of being in the band back in the day. I was the only girl on my drum line and ALWAYS made first chair. For those who ain't know. The band ain't NOTHIN without the PERCUSSION! 🔥 🥁 🔥

Gotta get that traditional grip going. I see a lot of ppl talking about it on this video. I have been playing for 13yrs and honestly trad grip just has way more of a swagger to it visually and technically in my opinion. Doing stick trick work is a lot more fluent and diverse in trad too

As someone who is in band, it is so funny seeing them covering there ears 😂

i thought this was recommend to me because i attended back in like 2017.. but this actually blew up!! good stuff

Aw man, I used to be in drum line till I was kicked out of school for living in a different district. It was the first day of band camp when my mom got the call, I was one of the snares so this makes me nostalgic. One of the best feelings was state sendoffs and marching in the field during pregame and halftime.

Это потрясающее представление! Захотел научиться ритмично играть на барабане желаю вашей группе процветания с любовью из России

Dejo 2 link para que reaccionen a nuestras bandas ;)

Perfection

Cleanest thing I’ve ever seen I’ve come from a school that does not like band seeing all this I’m jealous that was some amazing playing even if it wasn’t your best your THE best

Just found this video, dunno if your still there but I saw your show for 2022, I was really impressed with what I saw and I could tell y’all worked your butt off for this years show, huge props to you! -a former student from the same district

Man this brought back memories of doing this stuff in the 90s. Those hallways are deafening and you always obviously went for max volume for impact.

Honestly battery is one of the cooler parts of marching band or band in general.

Glad your director isn't forcing traditional. I'd much rather see a good matched than a horrible traditional.

im in 8th grade and in a hs marching band with my friend, idk if my highschool next year is gonna be supportive of the band or not😭😭

I play trombone (I have to march baritone though) in my band, but this video genuinely makes me want to try percussion so bad

i wish our school did this! My brother was on tenors in drum line i played clarinet and going to state each year was awesome i had a great ensemble.

I was in marching band last year and moved schools so now we can’t be in marching band until 9th grade. ANYWAYS. At my old school I think the only reasons others were nice to us and supported us was because one popular girl was in it. I’m not sure why kids make fun of others who are in marching band, because we literally make music to support the football and other stuff. My sister called me lazy for quitting softball and joining marching band. I had to explain to her we do A LOT more moving in marching band than softball. I can’t wait to rejoin next year as I’m only in 8th grade at the moment. 😅

Awesome 🔥

Never thought I would see people supporting drummers

Wish my school appreciated our band like this

Got drumline auditions for HS in 4-5 months... going for snare! Wish me luck!

Nice🎉

As a beatboxer, I enjoyer this very much to the point that I just want more snares.

GOOD JOB BRO LOVE IT!!!!

drums of liberation be like

I’m going to high school in August, and I’m going to do marching band since my middle school doesn’t have one, hopefully it’s this fun!

Man, that high school is way bigger than mine was. I play clarinet and always have since 4th grade. I’m honestly surprised that no one had mad fun of any of the band kids throughout middle school, high school, and even college. I guess I lived in a good place?

Damn bro I never thought I'd be watching a guy play drums while walking through school but man I'm glad I came across this video

That one teacher 💀💀3:40

Did I just here a bass drum do a tap off?

Dude you bring back so many memories man! I was a drummer in highschool

Bro it feels so weird that they are playing in match grip

6:38 this goes hard!

I like the drumsticks❤❤❤❤

Nice

Jesus, that high-school was bigger than my college...

3:38 teacher was feeling it

😮😮 10000000000/15

That’s one big ass high school 🤣

that highschool big asf 💀

Nice count off at 1:40 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Damn...that sounds good as hell but that would be so damn awkward, just seeing a few people drumming through the whole damn school 😂😂😂

The one teacher " Slow Down." Wtf can't you see that we drumming here Cuz

what school is this i wanna come visit and hear you play

Bonsoir je connaisser merci c'est excellent 🥰✌

4:37 lets go

I dont understand the basic "band nerd" thing, everybody at my school loves, and I mean LOVES the marching band.

This reminds me of a pov playing a Drum in the hallway in school

absolute banger of a video, i wish other students would respect percussionists as much as they do you guys. Im personally a drum,set player and haveing experienced marching band, I can tell you that I'll never get to do something as cool as that ever.

This year was my first year ever playing drums. I'm a snare in my drum line and before that I was an alto sax player. So I'm not very good yet but I watch's these because they are very cool and I wish my HS could do these.

Awwww this is so cool. My high school didn’t have a drum line or a marching band group but this would have been so cool to watch marching down the halls for like spirit week or homecoming.

6:54 yo homie on the quads needs to chill.

Oh, how I would have liked to hear what this sounded like in the hallways!

Hello, I'm Brazilian and I would like to know the name of the school, I tried to find it here but I couldn't find it.. Does the school have a channel here on youtube?

Not gonna lie being high asf and listening to this is the best thing ever

*_Dear Band kids,_* *Dont be weird… just be weird in band.*
