  1. I'm almost certain it was Cavaliers 2006, but if there's a similar video that Star did and anyone can find a youtube link to that, that would suffice!
  2. Can anyone find the video that was on youtube that had the cavaliers tenor player hooked up to an oxygen intake monitor? I want to show someone who said this activity is not 'physically demanding'... clearly they dont know what theyre talking about :P but I figured the video would show them better than I could.
  3. Woooooooooo! Crown winning = best birthday present ever
  4. According to the text they sent out, Akron Scores: Cadets 70.2 Regiment 69.3 Crown 68.65 Bluecoats 67.8 Cavaliers 67.55 Blue Stars 62.7
  5. Exactly. My Asics barely made it through!
  6. Be creative. Make some exercises that force them to watch the drum majors hands. Have the drum major have a met in headphones and then conduct for them. You could count them off like 8 clicks from a wood block then go, but then have them do the exercise in complete silence. It'll condition them to watch for time and hopefully be more together. My guess is that right now they are listening for time so this will be rough at first, but in the end its a great fundamental exercise for timing and will help them lots on the field.
  7. Definitely being in step first. the technique doesnt matter if they are out of step. But yeah, "feet with the hands" (hands of the drum major) is the foundation. It'll make them much cleaner musically too!
  8. Absolutely. Just shoot out some emails to places that you may want to march.
  9. well personally, that is one of my favorite BD shows! I didnt vote, because I dont necessarily think it should have beat a few of the others on the list, but it is still one of my favs by far.
