@@Xpurple well, you'd be glad to see who won then 😁

@captaincool3560 : Oh, I did see that!

Liquid fan, what can I say? It's pretty damp. It's definitely not my fish tank...

Haha, I wouldn't put it past him 🤣

Firstly, I'd like to thank you for your comment and for being supportive of our wonderful drum line! The tuning can be blamed on the weather. We tried to tune, but with it being 35ish degrees, they were bound to be out of tune due to the cold. I am a little confused as to your comment about the "wind notes," if you wouldn't mind expounding upon that a little?

@ absolutely…. Tuning the drums to notes that fit within the key of your show/closer helps to avoid any clashes with what the winds are playing. For example, if the winds are holding an E major chord, you’d want to avoid tuning in the drum section that would create dissonance within that major chord. Let’s say one of the drums is tuned to an E-flat, that would be an automatic clash (E natural & E-flat)…. Hope this makes sense/helps a bit. All the best to you and your drumline!

@DrumlinesOfAmerica yes certainly, thank you. But, I do not see exactly how a comment about the wind section can be drawn up from a video that strictly shows the drum line?

@ just listing the benefits of tuning, nothing really to do with what’s happening in the video.

​@@DrumlinesOfAmerica ah yes! I see! Thank you very much!

Yeah, a drum mey would help. However, our director and members of the drumline don't seem to think so. As to the snares, I couldn't agree more, but alas, they don't listen to anyone and won't stand. To boot, our dire tor doesn't really care about it enough to tell them to stand.

While I couldn't agree more, that's something to be taken up with our director... a director who doesn't really care all that much about such things, unfortunately.

@captaincool3560 umm i tend to disagree in highschool my band was pretty much self governed and self desciplined.... why? Becuase, we wanted to show our band director how much WE cared... if you continue to make excuses for yourself, youll continue to wallow in mediocrity

@mynt4153 I would like to say that as one of the few members of the band who actually cares and shows any form of love for this band, the kids don't really care, and they are this way primarily becuase our director doesn't care, or so I infer. You know, I'm glad you had such a good band experience, but unfortunately not all bands are like that

@@captaincool3560 damn shame youre teacher needs to be fired... imo

​@mynt4153 Yeah...

I will address your three comments in one reply. Firstly, the tuning. At the point of the recording, we (the band) have been in the stands for four hours in 35⁰ weather, so naturally, they are going to be out of tune. To boot, we get 3rd quarter off, and this is one of the first things they played in the 4th, so not only had they been in the cold for several hours, they also hadn't been played in close to half an hour. As for the snares, I couldn't agree more. They really should stand, but they ignore us when we tell them to, and our director won't do anything about it, so there's not much to be done there. Lastly, for the quads, but I'll generalize for the whole drum line. These are just some high school kids playing Pep tunes in the stands at a Friday night football game in the freezing cold, and they're having a great time so, please, do try and lay off them a little.

Very

A pure example of vocal mastery

Yes, we do 😭😭😭

He's actually a really good drummer. He was just messing around, not taking it seriously, you know?

I know, right?!

@@shaodwluna5576 amen brotha

They say he's one of the best rappers of his age...

Very fresh indeed

As cool as he is mysterious

Indeed, master of both rap and dance

Indeed, it 'tis. It may be one of the greatest questions in the known universe

Indeed, they do. I was so jealous of the Tubas 😭

Indeed, it was! We were lucky to get such a view!

Thank you!

African, or European?

@@captaincool3560 Well... I don't know! *Proceeds to plummet to my death*

@VictoriaTheBard (proceeds to shrug and walk across bridge. Intermission ensues)

It’s Andrew btw

@@patslegocinema8231 indeed it is

Hhmmm...very

They were just doing a cold run to make sure they knew it

No way man! I saw you there!

@@captaincool3560 haha nice! i got given some handouts such as stickers because people came up to me and said i look like him 😅 this was actually the second time i went to the hope tour, i went in nashville but i was in section 307. this time i made plans to give him a highfive and i did but what was so funny is i recorded myself on GONE trying to highfive him again but on the video i just completely missed. its sad and funny to watch

Bro no way. Right around the point in the video where you spotted yourself, you can see me high-fiving him

It was already broken before

You can't see it in the video, but the neck was snapped in half

Yeah, this is a recording from a while ago before I knew what tonguing was, lol
