There’s simply nothing like the feeling you get from everyone working together to play music with as much soul, emotion, technique and heart that you can give. It sends chills down my spine-remembering that feeling of utter unity and togetherness, as your body feels itself playing and your ears hear the resulting beauty. My years in band and drum corps were so incredibly special, and you NEVER FORGET the magic.

Yes, I’m a violinist that ended up doing band because my school didn’t have an orchestra and I wanted to compete with violin. I did pit percussion because my mom thought I was too “pale and tragic” to march in 100 degree June Memphis heat. I had no idea what was going on behind me. But we always watched the footage back the weekend after our competitions, and the first time I saw us, it took my breath away and gave me chills! We did Candide, Make Our Garden Grow, and West Side Story that year (Leonard Bernstein). These guys are amazing!😍

Yes. Hardest place i played at was the Indianapolis Hoosier Dome back in the early 90's. Standing five feet away from somebody, you pretty much have to shout to be heard. My best advice to any director trying to prepare for a performance in a dome is to make the kids wear earplugs while rehearsing. Worked well for us. I marched with George Rogers Clark H.S. from KY. G.N. finalist from 1988-92. Small band with about 40 or so total brass. If you wanna check out an old school crowd pleaser, look up GRC band 1992. Music of Blood Sweat and Tears. 6th place 89.45

This is spring ensemble and listen to the detail already in place. This was an outstanding symphonic sound so balanced. Yes there was click bait, and I bit. Having been in a small corps in 1982, I can truly relate to this work. This kids in corps are truly talented. I remember the drum line instructor wrote something technical for a local HS to execute. 2 weeks and they couldn't get it. He was frustrated and wanted to know if it was too difficult. So the drum line, took the piece studied and discussed it for 5 minutes, and made a tape that was flawless for the local hs school to learn from. The oldest corps member was 15, youngest 12. Their statement was, hey that was fun, what else you got? Those were the days.

In sixth grade I was encouraged to try French Horn by my teacher. I was reluctant based on the size and awkwardness of the case (Really). But I came to the notion that I made the right move in switching. I certainly don't regret it now. I would encourage your daughter to persist with her horn. Music is an entree to so much more than simply an opportunity to perform with others. I've never regretted the time or energy expended to become proficient.

Marching and playing with a high school band and drum corps for over 50 years; I miss the competitions and sitting in the stands hearing a group on the field play Star Wars and someone near me saying if our corps was playing it you would seeing stars. Brought such a good feeling. At my last competition in a junior corps we played a new song to our opening drill. While marching onto the field the crowd roared with cheers. At the start of our performance we played one note and paused. The crowd thought we made a terrible boo boo! But about maybe 7-10 seconds later we played two notes and paused; the crowd then burst into cheers for they understood what we were playing; the theme song from Jaws. That was one of my greatest memories of a junior corps and you’ll never experience that feeling again. Love watching them online. Enjoy and have fun!

When I was in junior high school (1966), most of us brought our own instruments [budget & etc.] Our director was stuck with five snare drums and six tubas. Plus the usual wind instruments & strings. He chose for us to perform the Hogan’s Heroes theme as our performance opener. He was very disappointed at our rendition. He went to the back of the orchestra, and took over two snare drums. He hit them so hard, I expected him to break the skins on each. He did not. He said, “There. That is how I want you all to play this music.” So we did. I was Clarinet, and never realized how loud I could make my instrument. At performance, the audience was so breathless, they did not applaud. For about 15 seconds. The only standing ovation I ever received. I believe The Cadets have the instruments to do another justice to the Hogan’s Heroes Theme.
