Watch until the end! Quads are played upside down!! WHOA! Choreographed by the 2016 Marching Viking Percussion section. They rock! Union Pines High School Cameron, NC
I've seen many a drum corps (including professionals). I've NEVER seen someone play the quad toms upside down. This wasn't suicide, this was BRILLIANT.
Ok 2 things: 1. It's extremely different to play tenors upside down than right side up because, ya know, gravity. According to our tenor player, it's not challenging, just takes a whole new technique. So I think it's really cool that she can play that well upside down 2. HOW DOES THEIR DIRECTOR LET THEM LAY ON THE GROUND IN UNIFORM?! I would be cut from the line if I did that like seriously
Finally. The drumline feature percussionists have been waiting for! I play in my schools drumline, and we are always in the back just hidden. This is like a hallelujah for most percussionists.
My drum line doesn’t really get a choice. We have to play cadences in front of the student section or else everyone gets extremely mad at us. Plus we do it because are cadences was made from a previous band director of my school who passed away a few years ago right before band camp, plus he was the current band director at the time so it was very shocking to us.
Clarinet for me, flute for my sister. Worst intruments to play EVER .... we broke the instruments one day when we were supposed to be practicing. 2 long years of nasty reeds and sore faces made us finally snap .... literally. Weird though because our parents did not finally allow us drums like we thought they would but instead got super mad, grounded us for a month, and made us do work at our land for the rest of the school year since we were no longer in band ..... Was it worth it still? Absolutely. (No offense to those who actually enjoy playing the C and the F .... i do no understand you but i support you) I do feel bad now that i understand better what it cost them to provide us that experience especially since they could not resale the instruments. But we did tell them we wanted to learn the drums, not clarinet and flute. The drums were the ONLY reason we asked to be in band ....
@@kc4208 Honestly? I completely understand I have a friend who plays clarinet, and she says its pretty hard Although I quite enjoy flute, sometimes I want to break the damn thing when I can't get the fingering for a note right, but overall I enjoy it and have been playing flute for almost 4 years.
@@puddles_xd when i say "worst instruments to play ever" i should clarify that for us, they were the worst instruments to play. Not because they are awful sounds ... they are not but because of the amount of dedication and resolve one must have to master them. I never was interested in clarinet and looking back, i do not think i would have stuck with drums either (i was copying my sister). Piano is my love. Also i want to put out a disclaimer: i did not regret breaking mine because my parents, even though they chose it for me, were not going to let us explore any other extracurricular activity since they paid a lot of money for the instruments. We were spending so much forced time practicing and getting lectured for doing this wrong or that wrong when we never wanted them in the first place and it just became unbearable. I do not recommend to anyone doing the same, but if someone does, i totally understand. I also do NOT mean to disparage anyone who has stuck with either instrument, ESPECIALLY if they struggled with it but persisted through the struggle. For you, i have great respect. Blessings 😘
You just get annoyed at listening to the same exact theme song/fight song about 1 billion times. Any football game. Pep rally. Assembly. Anything it’s all they play. The exact same thing. I am part of the color guard so I am down with them in the field listening to them play the same things 50 times again. By the end of the season no one wants to listen to that anymore
It's a cadence called jig 2. It takes a few popular portions of songs a lot of people know, and throws them into a drumline cadence, the most memorable being Mary Had a Little Lamb.
It is called jig 2, a very popular drum cadence but it gets over played. Real drum lines make there own cadences, my school still uses cadences from the first year of my school.
This was so cool. Wish we could a done stuff like this when I was in school, we don't have anything like this in the UK, we just have youth orchestra which bored everyone to tears, especially us the musicians!
Marching percussion is one of the best things I've done in my life, 4th year. Going to do around 12, I'm a freshman in highschool and I'm the one with most percussion experience lol
Me too! (Sorry, I was just having a nostalgic moment) High School Marching band & Jazz Band 1983-87-Miss those days, but now I play an electric bass!!!😅😂😎
I’m a quad player and i cannot imagine playing them upside down especially because I’m very clumsy so i would drop my sticks or fall off of the persons shoulders but that is awesome i wish i could play that well
My band did this at almost every game and reading this comment section I realized that this is not the norm. I thought every band did quads/quints upside down
mad respect to the basses but they look like they have no clue what’s going on in the beginning and i find that hilarious mad respect tho you guys did great :) -a fellow bass
imagine a played gets hurt right in the middle of that and they gotta stop and kneel immediately and either restart or find a place to start again 😬 i’d hate if that ever happened bakfhejf
I get that y’all wanna do visuals but if you’re gonna do em make sure you stand at attention when you aren’t doing visuals and if you are gonna do a visual make it uniform and not just have two people do it. It’s cool she was upside down tho🤌🏼
