SCV 2018 Marimba Cam

[@luke_h_percussion]

5 years later and we have reached 400k views which are extremely well deserved. Scv’s 5 Fred Sanford in 6 years produced some of the best pits we have ever seen in drum corps and I cannot wait to see them back in competition in 2024.

Does anybody accidentally miss the note you’re supposed to hit and play an off key note; or worse, hit both the note you’re supposed to play and the note beside it (right in the middle of the two). It’s worse on bells/xylophone/glockenspiel because you hear both notes and they ring awkwardly.

[@heyitsbacon599]

Whenever I did this in solo pieces at Uni (recital class anyone, wooooo) I would hit the same wrong note one or two more times, and resolve it to the correct note. Most people couldn't tell it was a mistake, they thought it was a dissonant passage.

[@kierstenoseguera1303]

[@ainsleyluberto2977]

Has anyone written down the part for 6:46 I want to learn it! I’ve learned like the first two measures but that’s just from watching and listening.

[@devonpita9193]

is it actually ok to leave that much of the outer mallets outside of the hand using stevens?

[@richardlane2363]

I noticed that as well. My hypothesis is either changing mallets as fast as you have to sometimes in dci leaves some room for inconsistency, or pulling the outer mallets back a little makes them effectively lighter so you don't destroy your two little fingers playing 15 hours a day and can more easily nail all those octaves in the right hand.

[@xCentauri]

Richard Lane that depends on the weight of the mallet, for example, the Van Sice series is really light, it’s probably just the tightness of switching the mallets instead of the actual weight

[@doritobandito_1323]

both of my instructors for my high school ensembles are in DCI and they tell us to leave about a 1/2 inch out

[@ElectricHamSteak]

interesting. the rotations of the mallets would be different, definitely. maybe it has to do with mallet changes or weight (because sandi rennick mallets are heavy as shit). i think it probably helps most with control with double stops and interval control.

[@nicks4251]

I also noticed their perches, or at least this persons seems to be in, creating tension on her hand. Is this intentional or just a technique problem?
