[@mummyman2115]

Regarding challenges: I attended Ohio State University and the OSUMB fields a band of 192 at half time, but there are actually 235 total band members. Band members challenge weekly for their spot at half time. Those that do not earn a spot on the field at half time are "alternates" for the week, still expected to learn the show and rehearse with their section and squad in case of an injury or illness creating a spot that needs to be filled. But at half time the alternates are assigned various tasks such as holding director ladders, (1-2 band members per ladder to set up at half time and stabilize during the show), moving equipment, collecting any dropped equipment during the show, and any number of other tasks that are actually quite important to keeping the shows running smoothly. But to keep everyone at the top of their game, all band members regardless of seniority must try out at the beginning of every season and then challenge every week for their spot on the field at half time.

Honestly, having done both styles at some point or another, I'd argue it's less about the historical demographics of the line and more about what the line is trying to do. Corps style is about pleasing judges through strong discipline and uniform technique, and show style (or, as I've taken to referring to it, collegiate style) is about pleasing the crowd by being super flashy. At the end of the day, though, they're still largely the same activity, and the objective is still to lay down clean beats for the enjoyment of others

[@TReeseTV]

Its all good Eric. I was in a corps style band in high school in Southeast Louisiana. Alot of other bands were show style, and we used to make fun of them all the time for being over the top or sloppy or over hyped. I really never learned to appreciate it until my senior year when I got to talk to other drum captains on why they enjoy that style. I still would rather play in a corps style band though.

[@Phin_Again]

I mean, its kinda hard to not run into any of the show style bands considering how much of a big deal they are down there. My dad actually marched with Edna Karr in the early 90s so he always tells me how much of a big deal it is in New Orleans. But, they do need to be clean and many of them are, while some need work. (I would know since I remember watching one of the parades this year at Mardi Gras and there were some high schools who need some cleaning up).

[@sambecker2155]

Oh yeah, in New Orleans there are some big show style bands. For parades they play and often do a lot of really cool visual stuff. Marching in a Mardi Gras parade isn’t like anything else. And while they’re not the cleanest, god damn they’re entertaining, and god knows the drunk parade watchers don’t know the difference. I’m not in a show style band but I really do appreciate it. It takes a lot to play and dance while marching five miles. Look up some videos if you want to know what I’m talking about. There are a ton of videos of marching bands in Mardi Gras parades.

[@TheDocAfro]

If anything check out Beyonce's Coachella performance. She even said as much, bringing the excitement and fun of the HBCU 5th quarter as her concert. Hell even in her opening number the band is playing a number that I often hear FAMU play in the stands. Not to mention she had the band play after the percussion break, "Hay" by Crucial conflict, and Hay battles are a big part of the HBCU experience. Okay, so show style is as you said is synonymous with HBCUs. Many people have complaints about how the horns sound like crap drums not playing cleanly and to that I say yes, there are some bands out there for lack of better words, really should check how they play, but at the same time there are MANY MANY more bands that play cleanly and sound perfect. Which brings me to the overall sound. You have to understand that the bands are playing popular R&B, Hip Hop, and Pop music, meaning if you hear it on the radio, there is a good chance you will be able to recognize the tune and go dance in the stands. Add different dance moves and it's a style that is quite difficult to master.

[@redactedrider7606]

I remember in my hometown there was one other school. Smaller than ours. Always beat us at football though. Hometown rival type of thing. They were a show style band. They had their sheet music attached to their instruments, jumped around like weirdos, and were tiny. Like the entire band was maybe 50 people. Ours on the other hand we were clean. Uniform. Precise. Loud. Aim for absolute perfection. If we even thought to bring sheet music we would run for miles the next practice. Our snare line had as many people as their entire drum line. Like to the point where it was like an adult picking on a little kid. No comparison between us. But those guys were having just as much if not even more fun when they came out onto the field and took up all 20 yards lol those guys could fucking party. It'd be cool to hang for a bit after the game and talk to them about our play styles and we'd jam for a bit... I will admit I enjoyed the feeling of awe whenever we marched out onto the field as the were coming off and just fucking demolishing them with our bigger band lol at the end of the day we are all just drumline assholes wanting to make loud noises with friends.

A lot of young percussionist watch your videos and will hopefully learn from your mature decision to make things right. While I come from the same world of drumming that you do, I wish there would be more education on other styles of drumming to avoid what you are going through right now. You are not the first person I have heard be critical of that film for what are usually uninformed reasons. I think it’s a brilliant idea for you to bring someone in from the HBCU community who has experience in this genre of marching band.

I didn’t know military marching bands were a thing until I started teaching in Texas 8 years ago, but they’re a pretty big thing here. Anyway, I don’t mean to be the “well actually” guy, especially not on a video you made specifically to correct yourself! But I thought I’d just throw this in here! Thanks for everything you do.

Thanks for speaking up for military style bands! I grew up in east texas and got to do both military and corps style in high school and had fun experiencing both if those styles. There's more variety of music in the corps style although when we were military style our director started working in other types of music other than the traditional military marches.

Robert McWhorter Very cool! What school was that?

[@Mizaruu]

7:07 We had challenges in my HS corps style band... The alternates could challenge for a spot every few weeks and if they won, the alternate would ‘shadow’ the person and then take the spot at the following Friday football game. This was early 2010’s... Go TX!

[@enchantedgamer9428]

That must have felt like shit to the person who got their spot taken 😂. Imagine getting beaten and then having to teach who beat you your own drill.

[@davideanes3425]

EnchantedGamer9 Yep. People had to stay on top of their game (music memorized, equipment ready to go, good grades, etc).

[@kahlilwyatt]

Coming from someone who is very familiar with both styles you handled this really really well

Where did you get those tiny tenors

[@thekingproductions0325]

Okay 1 appreciate your effort 2 at 2:24 where u said Prairie View A&M University you're wrong that was Alabama A&M University

[@keshawnwilliams6704]

React to the real North Carolina A&T drum line

[@ornithmusic]

It might also be cool to compare corps and show-style drumming with military bands and drumlines. All three are thriving down here in Texas. There were several competitions I took my group to that featured high-level achievement in all three styles! Texas UIL Region 9 is a killer area!

how do i make tiny tenors?

[@joegoodwin7292]

Where do you get those tenors I want them

[@tectonic2202]

Hey so I saw you did drumpad reviews would you do one about the xymox hybrid snare??

[@McSmithers8911]

Atlanta A&T is based off FAMU. The musical arrangements and choreography are all FAMU.

[@DudleyIceCold]

Surprised that you didn’t use footage from NC A&T at DCI Night Beat 2019

[@dncgdlphn914]

Where can I get some tiny tenors

[@baribone98]

Yooooo that's why you're the brotha from another mother Chicken and Roll to you bro Proud of you and this Video

[@timpedzinski230]

One more thing you got wrong was seniors playing at their own graduation. In my school in the middle of the graduation program all the Sr band members go up from their seats and played a feature piece in their cap and gown. Ours was a piece based on the score from How the West Was Won.
