It's a very weird listening environment. When you are on the field you can only hear what is right next to you and everything is lost. I play snare, and when we were marching all you could hear were snares and tenors. The bass drums seemed to get lost. From the front everything sounds normal, but on the field it's just different.

I'm marching there this weekend :D

Just thought i'd say this. My one of my instructors who marched cavaliers and I were talking last night and I asked him about the Cavalier that had fallen into the cadets block. He wasn't fake feinting or anything...He had locked his legs and passed out. Hope that helps so now we can stop all the hating.

Cadets- They are playing some of my favorite pieces. Cavaliers- My drum Instructor is marching there this year. Cavaliers

2009 show- Samurai machines from hell vs. Billy Joel. 2010 show- The frameworks of the corners at Niagra falls help James bond catch Billy Joel for the robot samurai he really is hiding in chicago all in a dish washer

i would use this quote.. "If you look for trust you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end despair" -C.S. Lewis

A lot of drumlines now are going for more of a 3 point fulcrum where the middle finger is the main point of contact.

I think they're MTS because of the gold screws on the top rim

Take a few of the snares off. Then put tape in the middle and then about half way from the middle. Then fold up a square of paper towels and then tape that completely kind of off center a big. That will give you a pretty dry sound.

mug him and take his wallet.... Just kidding!! I'd probaly not recognize him but if I did I would say hello and a healthy handshake.

Boxing has announcers! wow! Who thought that accurately portraying a sport would be such a novel idea!

Haha. I was in the process of downloading fruityloops right when i saw this.

Indy is a really nice area. They'll be happy there, and since i'm going to guess that some of the staff will have kids in marching band well....the Indy area has some very talented Band programs, Avon, Centergrove, Lawrence central, Ben Davis, Carmel etc.

The pit. There is so much you can do in there.

It may not seem like a big deal, but with percussion a lot of having a good sound comes from having a good stick and drums. Pro-Mark also hasn't had one of the "best" reputations to having good Marching Percussion lines. Blue Devils also have been one of the big poster child Vic Firth endorsers. I personally think this will be great for Pro-Mark i love there drumset sticks and I look forward to seeing what the BD staff does to help better promark. GT
