hboyce Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Both corps I marched had long black grip-less gloves that somehow would get holes in them before you even opened the #### package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingbetter Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 2. Gripless gloves are nice sometimes, but can get real bad if your hands get wet. Also, if washed with some types of detergents the ones with grips actually make the horn slick feeling because they loose the slight stickiness somehow. My corps uses either old show gloves or baseball/gardening/mechanic gloves for rehearsal, and the grippy ones for shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxmanjames7 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 2) Some tuba lines use leather gloves for better grip. Can't blame em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Kirby Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 2) Some tuba lines use leather gloves for better grip. Can't blame em. We used plain cotton gloves in my high-school band and junior corps days. Now I'm a leather glove wearin' contra in all-age corps, and it does make a difference.

MagicBobert Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I used grippy gloves in high school, and liked 'em back then, when we didn't change our hand positions on the horn for horn snaps. Then I used gripless gloves in corps, and while the horn felt a little less "secure" in my hands they made horn snaps a lot easier because the horn slides through your hands with no resistance.

Vanguard07 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 In both HS and drum corps I've only ever used the non grip short wristed gloves. Baseball gloves for rehearsal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
