That's TSU tradition and plus that is the original standard position for a tenor. FAMU and a few other schools still have them. Chest tenor is something that started in the 90's.
@@tonymccrady6525 I asked someone years ago who was in southern's line and the argument is sound projection. With chest tenors, the sound goes out to the audience. With leg tenors it goes to the ground. Single tenors were originally played on the leg, so there's a historical argument for the preference. I'd only want for leg tenor players to have strong wrists so that they can compete against a section with chest tenors
Not hardly. Barely played any technical rudiments, stick height was poor, everyone is playing the same volume. A university percussion section should strive for better.
@@unpopularfacts2448 nothing technical or wowing about it. It would be cool if TnSU was a high school section but this was basic. If this is supposed to be a showcase bring your best material.
