Good luck, thankfully the switch from a slide to valve instruments is much easier than the other way around. I chose to switch from trombone to baritone for my highschool marching band and it was much more fun for me to play and perform with.

Y’all went to Broken Arrow too?? That’s awesome, so did I! I’m in the Sherman High School Marching Band, I’m one of two freshman trombone and the only silver trombone. Our show was called “The Last Train Home” and was our best show in years. Broken Arrow was an amazing experience for me, it was our only chance to make it to Area, and we did! After our show we got to see the Broken Arrow band play half of their show for us. Sadly we didn’t make it to Area Finals, we lost to Lovejoy- whose show was entirely just visuals. They got 10th and we placed 11th, just missing top 10 by one point. Sorry about my rant lol!

I want to audition for bluecoats in 26’ or 27’ hopefully by then there will be openings in the contra line plus I’ve barely been playing tuba and I’m insanely good like I have great tone I just need to work on blasting which I will next marching band season since I’ll probably be the only sousaphone
@CantEven Жыл бұрын
Doing drum corps is less about “blasting”, and more about developing good approaches to the instrument, and then practicing those correct approaches until you have the strength and stamina to blast with the proper technique. The foundation of a good drum corps member is good technique and lots of skill and stamina around that technique, not “play loud”. Being the only sousaphone in your section can make you play too loud and blatty to compensate for it, and the directors might not call you out for it because in a one sousaphone section, that might be desired. Judging by the comment I’m guessing you’re around a high school freshman, so just keep in mind the importance of technique when practicing to get into the bluecoats, but know that you do not have to be a superhuman to be in the bluecoats. Sources: I speedrun portal really fast, and I am most certainly NOT in the Cavaliers Front Ensemble

@CantEven Жыл бұрын
Drum corps travel across the country to perform, but they also have to rehearse and sleep and eat, and the facilities for rehearsal are at high schools (football fields). So, they just sleep and eat at the high schools so that they can rehearse more. It sounds crazy because it is but that’s just how they do it, everybody sleeps on gym floors and brushes their teeth and showers in high school locker rooms for 3 months
