Uhh is your allergy wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis?

[@TheAvgCommentator]

@@EMCproductions Wow, that really sucks man. Carbs are really important before exercise and you just can't deal with that the way normal people would. If you don't mind me asking, how sensitive are you? I know some people feel symptoms from exercises as light as a briskly-paced walk.

@@EMCproductions How did you get into the corps with a gluten problem?!

[@frankspikes4867]

Don't feel bad. My buddy is gluten non tolerant. Pie, cake, cookies, bread. Most beers, he can't consume.

[@SwimminWitDaFishies]

Frank Spikes Bummer!! Can he drink hard cider? Wine?

[@frankspikes4867]

I think he can.

[@tristanm.3048]

This is so surreal to me as someone who was a marching band nerd then someone who was a POG intel nerd... your Marine Corps life looks so much like high school marching band lmao

[@Riceball01]

Ditto here, I was in marching band in high school but I wasn't an intel POG, worse, I was an air winger. So very different from my experience, no cammies, no formations for roll call, very different.

[@ErnieJ89]

Being a former fleet guy it's hard for me to wrap my head around a SNCO correcting you guys on subdivision. As a guy that pursued music post EAS this is super cool for me to see!

[@timk8287]

I laughed so hard at, “Carr, are you taking a video of your ass right now,” at 10:22

[@freakleak_88]

Can you make a marine journey video of what steps you took to join the commandant’s own?

[@freakleak_88]

EMCproductions I want the guidance so I can go 110% on joining the Marines :)

Yes this would be amazing!

[@Rambo-yl3md]

so, old Woman Marine here, ('71-'73, Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany, Georgia). PI sucked! my son marched DCI Southwind and Spirit of Atlanta, and my grandson marched Music City 2022, and has been accepted into Phantom Regiment. He plays tenor quads. I worked in Yuma as an ER nurse back in 2006, enjoyed it. back home in Georgia now, recovering from Covid. enjoying your videos immensely.

[@DouglasStevens0521]

I was always afraid to audition for the MDBC because I was afraid I wouldn't make it physically (and maybe emotionally) if these videos were up a decade ago I probably would've done it! I hope it inspires some folks in the future!

[@cxucxsixn]

you have such a fun and exciting life. i would kill to have your skills and experience with drum line.

[@ourartgarage6321]

Hi Eric. Not long subscribed. Love your channel. Getting through all of your videos. First learnt drums when I was 10 at school march in band. Used to play drums in underground bands, adding I am a crappy drummer. Usually play guitar and bass. You have inspired me to start playing again for fun. Suggestion - noticed with outdoor filming you have the lighting behind you, which bleeds out subject. Not sure this is crucial for your productions, but thought I might point this out. This is not negative feedback.

[@ianvismonte2429]

I love your tenor stick😍🎵🎶

[@aidenbrandenburg9884]

i thouroughly enjoy your vlogs

[@jackhedges6724]

Dang... Yuma has really upped their food court game. It used to be just Brother’s Pizza and Burger King. Subway was all the way across base and was too far to walk (I was lazy).

[@joshbailey9428]

You gotta get a full run through video for us!

[@Corrections101]

Bangs are amazing. I switched from Monster to bang. Wish I had them during drum corps. Talking about a dump of energy!

[@connermanning5837]

I’m playing stars and stripes forever in band rn too

[@rhaegegaming408]

Hey have you guys ever thought of putting your stick bags on the inside of the 3rd and 4th drum like closest side to the spock drum? It can look really cool and Conceals the stick bag really well

[@Lkease]

yeah but when you pull the drums up the stick bags would also go horizontally with the drums and you could lose a few sticks

[@chrisredacted4797]

Could you make a video on how to use the chickens as sticks properly as seen in the hardest tenor feature (Galactic class)? :)

[@jeffrey7469]

Is that Jason Pena like Jason Pena center snare for Cavies? If so that's dope.

So are you a active marine or like how does it work

[@cyborgjonny]

I would think people in the bands would be the last to be deployed but idk

[@henne2k]

What are you doing after that? Playing in a Drumcorps for a living... what a Dream to come true 😉

[@TheAvgCommentator]

@@cyborgjonny My understanding is that sometimes the musicians are deployed for the purpose of playing music, but correct me if I'm wrong

[@ElectricHamSteak]

DominusFelis the musicians will tour, not necessarily be “deployed”. sometimes they travel to other countries to play as well

[@TheAvgCommentator]

@@ElectricHamSteak I know about the tours but also sometimes they'll get deployed as musicians also. Like a natl. guard recruiter came out and talked about this guitar player who was deployed in a warzone for morale purposes.

[@joeybrege9085]

Really hoping Mr. Estes made a guest appearance. Tell Seth Joey sends love.

[@Ottomagne]

Hmmm. Two things had to happen, and it happened in the pizza that you ate. I'm gonna guess it's something really out there like the acidity of the tomatoes reacting with the pan they're cooked in causing trace amounts of aluminium, which is what you're allergic to. Probably off base, but I'm sticking with it

[@coconutcream9053]

He is so buff in his shadow

[@TylerDunphy]

Neat!

[@DrumlineArchives]

Awesome video! I’m assuming you are allergic to gluten...and bee stings?

Hey man. I will be at the Camp Pendleton show and was wondering if maybe I could say hi afterwards if it fits into the schedule? My main goal right now is to go to The Commandant's Own and I just had some questions. Also, my corps is also playing Phoenix by Peter Graham ;) your guys' version may or may not be better tho

wow i forgot how much i miss real band rehersals

[@fordsmith7905]

Ok I think it’s either something like fried gluten (or cooked or whatever) or it’s gluten plus cheese, and I think those are all present in the three restaurants that aren’t the Chinese restaurant since you said that one might not give you allergies

[@jakev5187]

I know antihistamines are taken for face things like nose and inner ear things but I can never get it. When i think I'm close. I get completely thrown off

More headcams !!

[@gingahninja7956]

do you get paid for being in the marine drum corp?

[@Corrections101]

Seems like a lite day of a DCI practice day, not taking anything away from the USMC. But a top 6 drum corps is way more demanding with the schedule. I am sure you have found that drum corps was way more demanding than the USMC, I did.

[@centermarq]

Summer vs 365 days a year. The unit does waaaay more than just a 15-20 drill show. There are many other obligations to take into consideration, as well.

[@Corrections101]

@@centermarq Very true. It definitely wasn't a swipe at them at all. Highly respect the CO's drum corps. Neat insight into the schedule as well.

[@Ronaldooo47]

Hey Eric! I had a quick question. Is there a certain time you have to serve to be in “The Commandants Own”? Or can you still pick for example a 4 year serve or something higher? Awesome video 🙏
