My band director showed me this video when I first ran for DM, and it has eternally been some of the coolest conducting I’ve ever seen.

[@brandonelliott6502]

Where did he learn to conduct??? What wizard can I venture to to learn such powers????

[@T1tanz]

I thought this was for DCI so imagine my surprise.

[@R3MNVNT]

I always reference this video as prime examples of amazing drum major skill.

[@jedchan9024]

Didn't this guy do a trombone solo in BD 2017 as well? Wild.

[@jace123453]

Yes he did, funny that in this video he performed at my high school and thought of being our student teacher

[@macerunner4674]

WAIT IT'S THE SAME GUY?

[@makaylaaguilar4226]

the whole time i kept saying “yeeesssss go off kev”

[@trevonm3940]

let's thank my favorite composer, Mr. Sullivan, for this amazing piece. (We're doing Poisoned this year which is like the exact same but Snow White instead) and let us thank Kevin for giving an amazing performance. and you, camera person. thank you very much

[@landisjohnson627]

Excellent conducting, precise with the tempo and time changes.

[@millsfamily6160]

OH MY PEACHES! This performance is outstanding!!! Kevin has been a HUGE inspiration to me. I love the coordination in his conducting; I really hope one day I learn the conduct as good as this. Thank you so much for recording this @Music213. Hope everyone’s alive, happy, and healthy 😁👍🏼

[@jackiegarcia9858]

The hug at the end 😱❤️

[@Music213]

Hi Michelle, 2nd place was awarded to Drum Major Ron Post of Orange Glenn High School and 1st place went to Debbie Horrilleno of Mayfair High School (I recorded both those performances too). All three (Debbie, Ron and Kevin) put on great performances.

[@KeannuArroyo]

Music213 so how did debbie get first I feel like Kevin should have Been in the 1st or 2nd place

[@earthangelbaby_]

How does one learn to conduct like that? :O

[@eleigey]

Mary Oseguera he’s putting himself in the music but still keeping a visual pattern completely throughout the song. To be a great conductor your have to have the music in you. I was a JR high guest conductor myself and miss it dearly

[@sarahmoodz899]

Time, patience, practice and dedication

[@elladen4363]

Saray Cruz exactly

[@danaharrelson7112]

Practice and passion. I did it!

[@earthangelbaby_]

[@caitlyn86]

i would PAY to get lessons from him

[@jandjstudios1347]

Imagine being the back drummajor trying to keep up with him

[@blowtheobstaclesawaykeepwa2355]

Excellent! To see young people learn early their talents and to put them to use is a wonderful thing. We see so many wayward children and teens and those in their 20's who are lost and think they have no purpose. I will pray for young people to have a mentor or find their talent or hobby. One never knows what can become of it. Believe me, I know. Happy for all who succeed.
