Just sharing: I was first grade in high school, joined concert band as a freshman. I belonged to percussion section, and trusted to played accessories. After a month, we have our first concert at city station. As long as I practiced, I was told to use a soft bass drum mallet to hit the gong, and told to hit it really hard. I have a gong hit (about mf) on 3rd bar of our first song. At the show, I was told to use real (hard) gong mallet. And as a good freshman, I did what I should. Next what I heard was the loudest gong sound I ever heard. I panicly muted the gong. At home, I listened to the recording and heard that my gong sounded so loud that the rest of the band can't be heard. What an embarrassing and unforgettable first experience.

Same exact thing happened to me except I had 2 wood bass drum mallets and it was at festival. That was 4 years ago and the legend of the Great Gong Incident still lives on, inscribed on the dust on the base of the timpani. Long live the GGI!

[@lonely_ghost9857]

@@Deus_Vult7 right! Last yeae we had a confusion with this one section in movement 3 and 4. Movement 3 there was a part where battery a drum break. Basses and i had a problem with who's playin' what because we a had a 6/8 and a 7/8 thing and this 6/4 thing goin' on in like 6 maybe 8 measures of those. Basically we were playin' over each others splits or not playin' our splits and then 4th movement we had a weird thing where they replaced this one very SMALLLL part where its like a unison but only me(bass 3),bass 4 and 5 are playin' a triplet but the problem is, me or one of the other basses are only playin' that and tye other 2 arent because we kept forgettin' they CHANGED that. Even durin' the SHOW we STILL didn't play it and yet it was fine apparently. So yeah we had a lot of problems last year especially basses(tenors had choreography problems and snares would be rushing 16th notes, the usual)

dude that "cut" on the downbeat at 5:29 made me laugh WAY more than it should Lol! this was hilarious and brings back alot of memories of my high school drumline. People got cut for these reasons forreal lol

[@dracolord93]

I got cut from a group one time before I even knew I was in it. Professor sent out an email that I was needed to play in it, but the email got caught in my spam filter, so I didn't know about it until he came to me in person and told me that it wasn't acceptable to skip out on rehearsals... I got replaced with our second chair before I even knew about the ensemble. Good Times.

[@LegendForsaken]

While I didn't March anything past college, I haven't ever gotten cut, but one time in highschool at a sight reading competition, I was playing concert snare and got penalized for playing a 3 grace noted note "too cleanly"

[@lonely_ghost9857]

...too cleanly? What they want u playin' those sincipated? Accents? Space out the notes? Like I dont care if its "too clean". The only time ive heard of someone playin' "clean" notes is when this drumline i watched with my drumline group do this snare feature and a huge bass feature of who knows how many measures of bass splits they had. Other then that i dont think playin' grace notes "too clean" is nor should be a thing

[@LegendForsaken]

@@lonely_ghost9857 they said that they wanted the grace notes to be more of a buzz, but I played it so you could hear the three notes clearly. It's wasn't written as a buzz though. It was written as 3 grace notes.

[@birdoclock8736]

@@LegendForsaken they should have said that it was too crisp and articulate then. Playing ‘clean’ is usually seen as a good thing. Telling your (3) grace note to be more like a buzz and softer and less articulate is a more acceptable thing than ‘to clean’

I’ve never been cut but one dude in my high school line from like 2014 got cut because he got caught on a professional video recording deep throating a banana during a run through 😂 but my line has a joke that the director will never cut any of us because we’re all pretty good and all in the same grade pretty much so we all say “What are they gonna do?

So you couldn't have cut him and moved someone from snare to replace him? Or did you also only have one snare drummer?

@@zackwoods5077 Snares probably stay on snares cause they specialize in that instrument, and depending on the school's ability of the population switching instruments might make it worse. Depends on the school.

[@zackwoods5077]

@@quilfrey1139 It's not ideal but if the only tenors player doesn't even know his part and the snare player would be able to play it, then I'd say it's a good idea. By not knowing the part I don't mean a few mistakes but not having a clue what to do for certain parts of the show. Obviously ensure that player learns the part before the swap.

I was originally put on bass freshman year of high school but I was demoted to cymbals because I didn't show up to the first rehearsal. They never contacted me about when first rehearsal was and I had no other way of knowing when rehearsal was. So because I missed first rehearsal, they gave my spot on bass to another freshman who didn't show up to auditions but showed up to first rehearsal. But it's okay because we ended up becoming best friends and I learned a lot from being cymbals :)
