Crown 2019 Tuning Sequence: DCI Finals

[@michaelmeyer2725]

Ben Haushalter I would love to pick his brain about brass playing. I had good instructors when I marched but Matt is in a league of his own, plus everyone buys into it!

[@stephentodd7194]

@@michaelmeyer2725 the fundamentals of what Matt Harloff teaches at Crown is the same base of what was taught at Star of Indiana by Donnie Van Doren it's just been refined to the Nth degree. Lots of brass people that have been through those programs teach the same thing he does at other corps and marching bands, myself included. I have old copies of the brass manual from corps I have marched in the past if you'd ever like to take a look at it.

You came here for 2:11

[@Kirbyfire73]

As a drumline member who's never attempted to play any sort of instrument that requires air (apart from maybe a whistle in concert band), can someone explain to me what some of the things he's doing means? What does it mean when he says center, no waves, and straight up? Also what does it mean when he does the slow point or the slow extension of his arm, and what does it mean when he points to his ear? I've never seen any sort of instructor do something like this, and also I don't know wind instrument terminology.

[@santiago09aguilar]

Hey I can answer those for you! He says center, no waves, and straight up when he refers to tuning. We individually tune our instruments before we play this tuning sequence so the “straight up” is the “needle” being perfectly straight up and down meaning we are in tune. Pointing at eats means to listen to the person to the left and right to us. The purpose of this is to blend (not play too loud or too soft compared to our neighbors) and to listen for tuning (if out of tune, we should fix our tuning slides). The slow extension is kind of a pushing motion and he means to push our air through the horn. I hope this helped!

[@therealnocommonsense]

I would try out but I don't got the money for it
