5 years later and we have reached 400k views which are extremely well deserved. Scv’s 5 Fred Sanford in 6 years produced some of the best pits we have ever seen in drum corps and I cannot wait to see them back in competition in 2024.
Ethan’s sportz honestly it’s not just that, Sandi Rennick Is famous for her pit writing. Honestly I prefer watching SCV front cams over any other Corp because of their crazy writing
For someone who played marching bells, marching vibes, marching xylo and a couple years in the early years of the front line we could only imagine in dreams playing in a line like this, with parts like this. Bravo to you all.
Nick Loughner Yeah, you did NOT practice 17k hours as a high schooler. You realize you’d have to practice 1.9 years straight to get to that point, right? Don’t kid yourself.
I’ve never been so flabbergasted. Legit at a loss for words. I honestly don’t wanna know how long it to clean some parts. Then again it’s probably clean from the beginning. 🙃
I just watched a video and it was the making of one of queens songs and there was a comment in the comment section that was litteraly the same thing as yours. WEIRD!
Does anybody accidentally miss the note you’re supposed to hit and play an off key note; or worse, hit both the note you’re supposed to play and the note beside it (right in the middle of the two). It’s worse on bells/xylophone/glockenspiel because you hear both notes and they ring awkwardly.
Whenever I did this in solo pieces at Uni (recital class anyone, wooooo) I would hit the same wrong note one or two more times, and resolve it to the correct note. Most people couldn't tell it was a mistake, they thought it was a dissonant passage.
Kaitlyn Herrera You’ll get comfortable with four mallets in time! It takes a whileee, I’ve been playing mallets for about 6 years and it became comfortable around year two or three of daily practice
Every parent who has had to push pit: *Sees Marimba* My Check Knee Light just came on 😂😂😂 Good job and cool footage! Keep up the excellent work. Music is positive for the kiddos!
Nolan Clapp the approach is something to consider when playing with that series of mallet. The “east coast” play through the bar really isn’t a thing at Vanguard and the mallets are designed with that in mind.
Um... I don't think anything like this was around when I was I band in 01-05. This pit is something else. Good job. ALOT of tools. Imagine the logistics of having the equipment on the field. Amazing. I'm to old to be missing marching band. It's just something about it.
I noticed that as well. My hypothesis is either changing mallets as fast as you have to sometimes in dci leaves some room for inconsistency, or pulling the outer mallets back a little makes them effectively lighter so you don't destroy your two little fingers playing 15 hours a day and can more easily nail all those octaves in the right hand.
Richard Lane that depends on the weight of the mallet, for example, the Van Sice series is really light, it’s probably just the tightness of switching the mallets instead of the actual weight
interesting. the rotations of the mallets would be different, definitely. maybe it has to do with mallet changes or weight (because sandi rennick mallets are heavy as shit). i think it probably helps most with control with double stops and interval control.
