Father Ryan High School Indoor Drumline 2013 - Don't Try This At Home

Coolest Indoor Show I've Seen So Far!

[@chris_amezquita]

I'm sure the visual judge shat his pants after that.

[@flanaggenwaters]

This is the coolest visual shit I've seen that was performed by a high-school!! 😵

Drumline: “Bet i won’t throw my drums and sticks” “Bet i won’t jump off this stage”

[@scorpclaw]

Jeez... that ending, though. I just get chills from the friggin' audience response, let alone the music and visuals. :D Definitely deserved Fan Favorite.

[@ryanjanus3719]

Kids, would you quit talking trash about other kids' high school drumlines? It's that age-old insecurity thing, I guess. You can't just sit back and watch a show and enjoy it. This may be my new favorite HS drumline show, and I've watched (and written and coached) many. Good stuff, top to bottom. My high school used to have one of the best drumlines around, but I have no problem admiring skill when I see it. Don't sit there and point out what wasn't clean unless you've never played an out-of-time note in your life. Don't criticize the writing without posting a sample of your own (superior) percussion writing. Well done, Father Ryan! I can't imagine how many man-hours that took to put together.

[@sheldonedwards1904]

besides Dartmouth hs 2014, this is my favorite Indoor Percussion. I like how they understand the whole VISUAL factor of the show, rather than those that only care about the music, and end up having a boring show and the audience falls asleep to.....but THIS is the kind of sick as frik stuff that people want to see !

[@paradiddle5664]

Dartmouth 2014 is fantastic! Thanks for the compliment.

[@steamedbryce]

Bingo. At the end of the day, shows are supposed to be entertaining

[@joshhenson3757]

Agree with you completely on this. Have just gone back and forth watching Dartmouth 2014 and this show. Been fun hearing these shows again

[@jmichaeljames6671]

One of the most creative show concepts I have ever seen! Lots of tricks to keep the audience entertained, props that worked well, and a really cool ending! However, I'm not exactly in love with the writing. A lot of it in both pit and battery seemed pretty easy... Nonetheless, a great show from start to finish! They know how to perform!

[@jasonhong1998]

Who's watching in 2018? Remember being there for this show and competing against them w/ JOHS my Freshman Year. This video honestly doesn't give justice to how freaking loud it was when they went all out at the same time sounding super clean.

[@karmew32]

That's 2 years in a row where the best show finished 3rd. Ayala 2012 and this.

[@jasonhong1998]

Definitely not the best. They are judged based on more than the show concept. Music City Mystique went after these guys and their music itself was more professionally delivered and deserved a higher score.

[@RockChick4512]

Kudos to you guys for an awesome concept and executing it so well! The uniforms and stunts are great but the technique is what puts it up there for me. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with next!

[@R1seTama]

wow i just realized this was a high school group, just built diff. i got recommended by this so it must be good lol

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

Wow....great concept, very entertaining, I really enjoyed the performance from beginning to end, especially the end! I don't pay much attention to the negative comments, and I hope the kids who performed didn't either....the audience reaction came from what they did, not from somebody typing on a computer. From a Long time DCI Fan and alum, Father Ryan, I am Impressed! good luck in your next competitive season.

This was utterly fantastic!

[@NAI917RAH]

FRHS Indoor Drumline = FLAWLESS!!!

[@annarushing7861]

Okay, sure, Father Ryan may be a Catholic, private school, but that doesn't mean they have endless amounts of money. If anyone makes competitions about money, it's Tarpon Springs. Those people are just bathing in the dough. Need proof? umm...watch their show from 2014. So many awesome props you won't be able to keep track of them all.

[@MaximalistClown]

actually, the arts programs at Father Ryan don't get much recognition or money. We had to fundraise just to not have to buy our own costumes from goodwill for the theater. The stages/props are mostly made by parent volunteers for the band, and in fact the bad room is so small and cramped, that they have to practice on the football field or parking lot to have enough room to even be instructed

[@n_r_o]

+Grace Borum oh bummer you mean they have the chance to be in a totally dry listening environment all season? Anybody could get clean playing outside all year. #michigandrumshandicap

Epic show! Even though they used metronomes with earpieces, you can see them in the video, especially hanging down from the snare's helmet at 6:20 or so haha. But still, whether or not they used mets doesn't change how badass their show was!

[@ashleynewton9497]

ok its an overall spectacular show, but me being in a high school indoor percussion group myself, i have only one question/complaint... WHERE'S THE CYMBALS!:(

[@paradiddle5664]

We would have loved a cymbal line, we just don't have the kiddos to round one out.

[@danrecords3267]

Cutie_Pewtie_Ashie Personally, i think cymbals are a wasted drill spot for a sound that be produced from the pit. I do see why you like them though but a lot of instructors don't sadly

[@ashleynewton9497]

ya, i play alto sax in marching band but cymbals in winter drumline.

[@pattayyy]

Definitely a cool show concept and great execution on the "stunts". The difficulty of the music for the line and pit weren't too hard and at times were very dirty, especially for going all the way to championships. And personally, I think the tenors need a better writer, because that was weak. Still though, it's great to see high school groups getting innovative and putting more into a show, and also getting a name for themselves!

[@flutegirl1995]

why am I just seeing this now

[@evaldezae12]

Judge tapes for this please!

[@chea575]

I love the "show" of the show, it's crazy inventive and well performed, but tbh 90% of the music isn't that much harder than warmups I played all throughout high school. I'd rather see mad chops and section breaks that are less boring, which not everyone can do without significant years of practice, rather than simple tricks arguable anyone could do with some short term practice. not to bash the show, I just don't think it should have made it to where it did in competition standings.

[@chea575]

Boring art is still boring though. I'd prefer both, you're right, that's why there's judging categories for G.E. and whatnot, I just wish people would stop *sacrificing the music* for random tricks, not cut the tricks and the other story elements completely or anything. I still love it, and I still think it's crazy inventive, very well done.

[@sarahollenbeck7131]

How did you make or where did you get the circular platforms? We'd like to make some. Thank you.

[@paradiddle5664]

Sara Hollenbeck we made them. Each one has to be custom to the player. Pretty easy design. Wood Circle top solid. Wood Circle bottom donut. Caster wheels and height via metal piping. They had footrests that could take the weight of them standing. There was a "notch" per say that would fit in between their back and harness. It took on the weight when going upside down. Bungys held the drum in place. Just reverse engineer it off the vid. Not very complex. Or you can take a look at SCV that took it and made it better.
