It seems like there were some recent years when NO ONE was marching cymbals except SCV, but people are starting to add them back in. I love how creative, crazy, and cool it is. The cymbal flash and crash adds so much on the field! I hope they never get rid of this element--it's one of the coolest things about SCV.
im a freshmen and i made the cymbal line (i go to a small school so we only have 3) for indoor percussion i usually play clarinet but im excited for cymbals
Noah Messick I've always done flute but this year (freshman) I wanted to try drum line, so I figured cymbals would be my best bet because I don't know anything about drums. It's super fun now that I've gotten into it. I just wish someone had warned me about pinching myself all the time and how heavy they were.
Armada Conspiracy I thought I was the only person this happened to. I pinch myself all the time. At one point I had undone my tunic button with my cymbals. But I still love my cymbals.
Emma Helene It those hurt your upper arms. To help your arms get stronger do a lot of pushups and tricep exercises. I have started these and other exercises to strengthen the muscles in my upper arms. Not just the sound but the muscles in my arms are stronger. I rarely rest during my songs. Oh forgot I am the only cymbal player in my band, so its all up to me.
Theodosiamarshall Marshall I good exercise to do is to hold your cymbals out to the side and hold that for a long period of time (whatever that may be for you)
I am my school's cymbal line section leader. We had the cymbal line reinstated this year after not having one for more than 5 years. There are four of us.
+BDizDaBest just because the Blue Devils don't use cymbals doesn't mean that other corps like SCV and Spirit shouldn't either. Kinda judgemental when it doesn't effect their score and is well loved by fans.
I've always done flute but this year, because moved to a MUCH MUCH smaller school (freshman). I decided to try drum line along side band. I figured cymbals would be my best bet (there are only four of us) because I don't know anything about drums. It's super fun now that I've gotten into it. I just wish someone had warned me about pinching myself all the time and how heavy they were.
The fu-? If someone had blind folded me and clicked this video, I would've been like, "Did WGI come early this year?". It just works on it's own haha, let alone with the horn line.
