Thinking of auditioning this year, how did yours go?

Hammer down!!! I love these snarecam videos. I don't understand how you know all these cadences or do you just make it up as you go along? Glad Purdue won. Wish I'd been there in person. You guys have the best band ever. What year are you? (if I might be so nosy.)

Judith Meyer it would be technically impossible to make it up as they go because not every one would be playing the same thing quick fact before one of their snare went to Purdue I was in a drum line with them and we played snare together

Hi, I’m actually a snare in this video! We listen back to someone in the bass drums for a cadence call out that happens in the tap off between cadences, which signals a different cadence depending on what is said. That’s why you hear us yell something different right before we play; we’re responding to the call out! For example, to signal our cadence GT, the bass will yell “the whistles go” and the Drumline yells back “woo woo!”

Everyone learns and memorizes the material, then there’s rehearsal to clean up and play together. My drumline has cheer specific tap offs that indicate which cheer is being played and we all know them by how they sound (either from a snare or tenor player). However our cadence sequence is written and meant to be played sequentially back to back.

Cool view but... it's hard to hear the rest of the line. It looks like you're all having fun, regardless.

What is this version of Hail Purdue

[@chrisgriffin688]

Its Hail PSP (play sing play). Its the same version heard in the Block P during pregame. The Center Snare solos during the chorus.
