Jig 2 - 2020 - First Performance! - Oak Mountain High School Drum Line

Back for the first time in the 2020, the Oak Mountain High School Marching Band and Drum Line were at Heardmont Stadium on August 21st for the season opener against our home town rival the Chelsea Hornets and performed the world's most popular cadence/stand tune - JIG 2! This year's drum line features some new faces on snare, tenors, cymbals, and basses so let's cheer on this new talent! This year's OMHS Band Drum Line performs exclusively on ‪@MapexDrumsUSA‬.

This is awesome. My boyfriend is a quints player and I’m in color guard. Drum line started doing jig 2 last year and it was so cool. This made me feel hyped for our season even tho it’s going to be super different this year. Nice job!!

[@bwfitz]

Alison G. Thanks for watching! Best of luck with your season!

[@thatrosegoldtromboneplayer1040]

LUCKY!! They get to have an actual marching season!

[@BrainDeadSteele]

EXACTLY, all my band is learning is show music from home

[@elijahonvid825]

My school gets a whack season and we got new drums but it’s still a season

[@thatrosegoldtromboneplayer1040]

We are practicing marching technique, a parade march, pep band music, and other pieces.

[@roking9982]

We’ve been learning the show music, marching fundamentals, and parade marching. We just got permission to learn drill yesterday

[@davidfeldhaus976]

We do too somehow

[@yeetusfetus930]

Why is almost no one wearing masks except the players

[@princff.]

a wind player can't exactly wear a mask

[@gentrywalker]

They can when they aren't playing.

[@princff.]

@@gentrywalker this is probably in between them playing but I see what you mean

[@youngmantryingtomakeit]

Usually after a stand tune you have to immediatley play a fight song or be prepared to play another stand tune depending on what you have prepared to play, its escpecially annoying when woodwinds like myself have to rip off their masks right after playing a stand tune and accidentally chip or break their reed. But in all honesty idk what the point of wearing a mask while not playing music is, we kinda just spread germs everywhere when we play music. And then put them back on and then take them back off. It just doesnt make very much sense to me.

[@mckenziehensel9651]

bc they dont want the players to have corona. I mean thats how it is at my school

[@spary192]

They have more snares than my whole percussion section

[@taethedrummer3603]

Do we really 😂😂

[@klinegarage]

Snare rushing and tenors under playing

[@meghanmedendorp3257]

I feel the snares are playing too fast, therefore not together ._.

[@crazygamer-mr6nr]

Yeah occasionally I hear it too and I play tuba, but give them some time.

[@chrisroode]

See several snares pumping their forearm at the elbow. That’s what’s causing it. Make sure to rotate the radius and ulna for a smooth left hand stroke. If each of the players spent 10 minutes a day working 8’s at various tempos and fixed that left hand motion, they’d be very clean quick. I love traditional, but it is extra legwork since all other percussion is a matched grip...except tambourine or Something like that...

[@meghanmedendorp3257]

chrisroode thanks for the advice.. I don’t actually play snare, so I don’t know how to make the sound cleaner, haha

[@zachkendall7443]

Yeah snares are playing too fast I agree, and thanks for the snare advice to fix it!

[@melissamania8769]

Yeah I could hear that they are def rushing a bit

[@skippingropechangesyourlif120]

The whole drum line is a bit sloppy but I LOVEEE IT. So much happiness. Timing is major issue and tenor rim clicks but it’s early in season.

[@crazygamer-mr6nr]

Yeah

1. Why is almost no one wearing their mask? 2. Why does Bass 4 not know his part? 3. Snare line is dirty af 4. (Just so I’m not a complete Scrooge) it was nice. I’ll give it a 7/10

Kake Foster thanks for watching and be sure to check out the many videos of this band through the years.

[@MminaMaclang]

My parents both died two weekends ago from COVID. This video really cheered me up and I'm proud of those who came with masks on. But I hope they all know that they'll be generally safe from the effects and typically won't go critical, but if they take that virus home to their parents, then that's a different story. Were they briefed on sanitation protocols before they were asked to go out and perform?

[@nolano8279]

yeah, its a really cool video and all, but theres way to many people without masks, and just think about all the handrails and doorknobs that everyone has touched. I think its irresponsible and that administrators should've pushed it back to the spring like many others are

The quad solo in jig 2 is like wonderwall for tenor players

[@briannaspencer9169]

Dang, our band diesnt even play at the games after pregame this year. The band plays for an audience before the game starts then we do pregame and leave. Doing this allows more people to show up to the football game

[@bwfitz]

This year the OM Band was not allowed to perform their pregame show. They only perform their marching show at home games and play stand tunes for the game in a redesigned seating arrangement. For away games they are taking a pep band. My observation is that the students are grateful for what they have been allowed to do and are all working hard to meet county requirements for safety. I encourage viewers to visit the official website at www.oakmountainband.com for all things officially related to this program. Also please follow the band on their official social media accounts...."oakmountainband" on Insta, FB and Twitter!!! Thanks for watching!
