Nice job of getting into the Cavaliers, Mr. Even. With love and support from a high school mello

Funny enough I was just watching a random portal speedrun randomly and I heard you talking about music and found out you played marimba at RYHTM X, just crazy that I also play marimba for WGI groups and love rhythm x

Cant Even is a DCI dude!

[@NoriMori1992]

I didn't know there were ensembles of… er, what instrument is this exactly? 😅

[@CantEven]

The main instruments you see at the front are Marimbas and Vibraphones, which are very similar to xylophones, just pitched lower. There are also more "typical" percussion instruments in there, including cymbals, a drumset, pianos, a xylophone, and countless other percussion instruments sort of like what you would find in a broadway musical pit. That is actually why you see these ensembles often called "the pit", and they are actually just one part of a massive hugely athletic and complicated musical production. The ensemble that this unit serves is called a Drum Corps, and if you want to know more about them, you can find many recordings on youtube, just search "DCI " on youtube. Here are some good ones to watch if you are interested: Bluecoats 2023 Bluecoats 2022 Phantom Regiment 2021 Santa Clara Vanguard 2018 Blue Devils 2017 Anything by the Blue Devils, Bluecoats, Carolina Crown, Boston Crusaders, and Phantom Regiment is likely going to be very good, but there are dozens of other groups with unforgettable performances that also compete to deliver the best musical and visual performance that they can year after year. The level of musical quality (especially at the top) is insane, but it's definitely kind of a specialized activity.

My personal favorite has got to be Phantom Regiment 2008

@@CantEven Cool! Thanks! 😁 I don't know anything about this world so I appreciate the explanation. That's really neat that you're doing that! Have a good season!

[@CantEven]

@@NoriMori1992 i’m not actually in it this year, there is an age maximum for this activity and last year was my last year eligible. there are other divisions where all-age groups compete but I don’t have plans to join one of those groups
