Drum Major Camp 1

[@cubbies-gh4te]

This stuff is mind blowing. Give these young people kudos for doing this in front of their parents.

"STOP....hi"

[@gotmonstabangtan7731]

Can someone pls tell me how to do the crescendo/decrescendo with one hand while conducting with the other😣 I’ve been having trouble with it forever

[@dowdican]

Im trying out drum major for next year and got it down. Start with conducting with one hand and when you got the hang of it slowly raise the other. Conduct with one hand five times before you raise your hand. Hope this helps!

[@danboles4971]

I'd say practice, there isn't any technique to it. Keep it together with counting while moving your hand up and down, maybe at count 1 it moves up, then at count 4 it moves down until the next count 4. If you move your hands up and down at points in accordance with the time keeping of the hand, then within the next two weeks you'd be able to do it. Past that, once you are capable of counting while giving the signal to do crescendos/decrescendos, then just learn how to do it while consciously thinking about where it needs to be, changing it for when it isn't 4/4 time. Just know you can get it with enough continuous practice! :D

Just wow! I’ve watched this three times already. These campers are just awesome. My great niece was a conductor at a McKinney Texas High School, sadly I never got to go watch her, and she didn’t participate in college, now she is teaching littles! What I remember about the first band director I had was that he was very, very thin (if he turned sideways and stuck his tongue out, he’d look like a zipper-thin) he directed with a baton and each time he did an upbeat he used his elbows to hike up his pants! That happened 68 years ago…guess I’ll never forget that useless bit of info.😐

R.J. Vidal reminds me of that Napoleon dynamite scene when they are hand dancing in the front of the classroom lol

[@cgrimesmusic2535]

Who was the instructor? I think he came to Huntsville Alabama to give us a leadership clinic. Amazing guy!
