The ESPN2 Finals Broadcast Drinking Game!

[atlvalet]

Huh? Another brass player here.

Hmm, let me try this another way.

Some drumlines set-up their rolls with a check pattern first. So, instead of just playing the roll, they'll play...let's say in a 4/4 piece...4 16th notes (RLRL) and then go into the 32nd not roll instead of a cold roll or a tap roll (16th note R followed by 32nd note LLRRLL). It famously happens in eight-note triplet phrases. Play 2 eighth note triplets and then go into the roll.

Many people consider it "cheating" so to speak. Make sense?

a shot for every bk trumpet player you see do a barrel turn (if they show the ballad) the answer is 24 haha

You're doing well, but let me explain what I really meant (and you'll understand just how petty I was being -- for the sake of sarcasm, which is a noble cause):

- Every roll has a "skeleton" underneath. This is especially important for open-stroke rolls, which have a very literal metric value. For example, double strokes over a sixteenth-note skeleton = 32nd notes. Your wrists are playing 16th notes, but you are adding a second stroke twice the value of the note for the stroke. Does that make sense?

Sixteenths are pretty standard skeleton. Some of the more advanced snare books will have open-stroke rolls over sextuplets (16th-note triplets) and even open-stroke rolls over 32nd notes, which is down right mean at brisk tempos. If you've ever heard a snare line that sounded like they were "shifting gears," they probably started an open roll over one skeleton and shifted to another (most often I hear from 16th note skeletons to 32nd note skeletons ... a nice element, but a little overdone these days, and often a good way to turn a clean snare line into the world's biggest slushee).

Eighth-note triplet skeletons are a pretty standard way to draw criticism from other lines because everyone knows it's way easier to clean up rolls with with a triplet skeleton than sixteenths. Put it at march time and you can sound like you're at Finals form by early July.

Like I said ... petty. :P

Take a shot everytime a guard member steps off their dot (or out of the form) to make a catch. Have a designated driver handy.

drink every time bluecoats do a gun visual.

drink every time BD has a wing (or wings) in their show.

drink every time a cavalier rolls on the ground.

drink every time a cadet speaks.

(still haven't seen scv's show so don't know what to say for them).

drink every time a blue knight hornline member dances.

drink three times for every time a bk horn player marches.

drink every time a crownie (?) does a horse visual.

drink every time a crusader does THE crusader pose.

these are pretty obvious, and some have been said before, but you'll be wasted* by the end if you can finish this. oh, and sorry if i offended anyone... these are all meant in jest. don't take me seriously.

* on caffeine... we're drinking soda here. what did you think i was talking about?

Every time someone in the room says "I can't believe corps x beat corps y" or "I can't believe corps b didn't make finals.
