Man, I remember the days when I was in marching band, when I played snare through the halls of the school with the rest of the drumline on homecoming day.. man did that make me feel like a badass for some odd reason lol
@@daboys1603 yea same here, even though it was basically mandatory for us to wear ear plugs during rehearsal or whenever else was necessary, but sometimes I just said screw it and not wear them lol But yea, I was in Kearlsey High School's Marching and concert bands for only a couple of years, due to me transferring schools and other reasons, but those years were pretty fun tho. Tons of good memories and good music But now, I dropped doing music a little while back, since I graduated and I'm now studying auto mechanics and whatnot
Our school does this at the end of the school when our football team goes against the other high schools in the city but it’s full band instead of just drumline
His hand is too tilted to the left so it's like he's holding a cup of water the entire time but it doesn't spill on the drum, that's what you don't want, you want that cup to spill on the drum that's the best way to not injure your hand that's what I was taught atleast
We do this at my school but only for Christmas we call it “deck the halls” and we go through the floors playing jingle bells with the whole band drill and flag team, it’s tiring af tho but fun😭
Good playing!! The only thing I would say is that your left hand looks tense. Try relaxing both fulcrums to get a more round sound out of the drum. I could be wrong about this, but in your left hand, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of wrist isolation. Try focusing more of your playing in the wrist while playing at lower heights. It’s okay to use a tiny bit of arm motion when playing at larger heights. But it seems like you don’t go above 12 inches. Hope this helps!
Man remember I did this with band! Every year we’d go deep in the playoffs and semis we’d March through the whole band and everybody would come out and get crunk!! Then went to like 10 different school around the city playing it was crazy!
My school marched matched grip since 93, we switched this year because we want to prepare students for dci, but matched grip needs more love definitely
I remember marching through the halls as a sendoff for the football team for quarterfinals. We knocked the dust out of the ceiling tiles and my throat got sore as a result lol; this was five years ago
This is so fun! My school does this for whenever anyone makes it to state level competition and also for our walk of scholars, they make everyone in the building line up on the hall and watch them pass by, it’s really cool and fun
Yep I’ve been to a lot near my house and only one of them has stuff on the outside technically two one middle one high but they where right next two each other like literally they share cafeterias and auditorium
Hehe I wish our Australian schools would let us do this, the mood would be so much better,I play clarinet but I wpuld be down to learn percussion for this🤣🇦🇺soo cool
When i was my school's band,we sometimes did this and the teachers are cool with it even the principal,i play the glockenspiel so i play some little piano
My schools drum line did this. Only the high school though with the exception of some in my grade. The drum line also did this at band camp at 6am to wake everyone up. I don’t think they did it on the adults floor.
Our school do these things called pride walks if a team is going to the playoffs im in 7th grade and I love marching in them. This looks like there is a pep rally after though. I wish we did that
when any team/group in my school goes to state we do state send offs, the percussion from our band walks down main hall playing their drum cadences and the drill team and cheer team all cheer and clap behind them and whoever is being sent off to state will walk behind them, they call out all the classes in the school to come watch the send off
That's a pretty small drumline. I'm currently on the bass line, as a freshman, and our line has five bass drums, six snares, seven cymbals, and three quints
