The Military no longer says “ten hut”

Stop as soon as I heard the music I got so excited, we are doing this song for our 2023 field show

He’s not really conducting he’s actually just waving his arms around the music is clearly not real he is just pretending to be a drum major if he wants to prove me wrong than do a behind the scenes

I'm a mostly self-taught conductor, and I have to say that being in marching band, the field commanders (my high school's term for drum majors) had a very unique style, which differs greatly from the styles of concert conductors. I tried out for the position for the 2018 marching season, but I didn't make the first cut, unfortunately. I wished the best of luck to the four young students that made the position. But even then, I played the clarinet in marching band for two years, under a fantastic trio of band directors, and some amazing field commanders. This video contains the passion that all field commanders need, and it doesn't always have to be strict and serious. Oh, and Gary Gilroy rules!! :)

Bro that sounds terrible

You guys were robbed at Lincoln that year.

Everyone calls these little critters albino squirrels; well, they aren't albino. These are Gray Squirrels that have a recessive gene that causes their fir to be white. They are not, albino.

Is this conducted in cut time? I’m trying to figure out how to conduct in cut time lol.

i watched this video non stop for drum major auditions 😂

Wht the song name?

0:22

Circa 1985.

It's good. Just not my style. Emotional but too rigid. Looks like it hurts

I am gonna continue this power (Last comment was 7 years ago)

I've searched for this everywhere

i am a freshman and i did this song for my prepared piece for drum major tryouts and i made it! 😄 lol i'm the auxiliary drum major (3rd) but i'm still glad i made it and it's thanks to this guy and his video!

Hey man I know you're not going to see this but this video was made 10 years ago and it gives me chills every time you are amazing you probably have kids and a wife now hope you're doing great things now

Am I the only one who didn't understand anything from this video

Killed that dude

This guy is now my Biology teacher XD

Fantastic.....cues! Meter changes.....get man! This never gets old to see! I hope that you are doing great things! This is very inspiring! 👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

I like how he makes a simple 4/4 pattern so beautiful

Yesterday, I listened to "The Machines" by Gary Gilroy, and I found out that this guy is conducting Movement 1! Sounds amazing!

Could I make a video using your routine, if I credit you?

Ugh. I remember this from years ago!!!

I became junior drum major at my highschool ,and tips ?

this was awesome👏👏👏👏👏👏

Other than not fitting stylisticly with the music and the ictus being shifted from the fingertips to the heels of the hand on his second and fourth beat it isn't bad, good emotion conveyed.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN FIELD CONDUCTING THAT GREAT IN A LOOOOOOONG TIME

very nice mister

Our schools conducting style is too simple 😭

This is amazing! I now a drummajor for my school and I'm so excited 😊

I must say this is so very entertaining and beautiful, but when it comes to us choir/quartet people, we look a little into someone who can direct us as well! He's awesome and funny, but I would love some voice. I was actually here and it started out with voice, so, as for me, direction would be sooo fun, maybe....But, seriously, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE PERCUSSIONS, PLEASE DON'T THINK I DON'T

get it👌👌

I hope you have the chance to read this; my name is Noah. Six years ago, I was a freshman in high school curious in trying out for a drum major position on my high school marching band. Two years later from that tryout, I succeeded in being one! The reason why I'm commenting on this NOW is that I still often think about this video and how amazing it is. You are extremely inspirational in your technique and interpretation of such an entirely modern and fabulously arranged piece of musical literature. This video was what inspired me to be an excellent drum major in terms of conducting and free style interpretation with such passion and skill. I hope you do read this and wish you to hear my great appreciation of your work and am proud of you too! Please email me or contact me somehow, I would love to hear of your amazing work following up from this!

Wow. This is beautiful. I was expecting something like having eight metronomes all going at different tempos and subdivisions and he had to keep conducting at one given tempo without a metronome, which is one of the tests for drum major at my school, but this is even more impressive and beautiful.

I became the Head Drum Major at my school thanks to this guy. I watched this video so many times.

JOHN I LEONARD DID THIS SHOW THIS YEAR!!!

:O Wow.. That is beautiful.

Thanks Gary Gilroy for all the great marching music. Your picture is a friend's lock screen.

This should have more views

The machines is a very good choice if your trying out for drum major

Define "Nor Cal" style?

Is there somewhere I can get this music? I love it and I am auditioning for drum major soon.
