aleigh Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hey Everyone! Thought this would be a really neat opportunity for drum corps members, fans, friends and musicians. Here's a cool chance to play "The Pretender" with Foo Fighters live at the Grammys http://youtube.com/mygrammymoment If you are a band director this might be something great to tell your students about!

K-Swiss Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I love how they exclude us percussionists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscout96 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) I love how they exclude us percussionists Oh boo hoo. And I love how DCI excludes woodwinds. The line has to be drawn somewhere. And actually he says we're not looking for drummers, he didn't say anything about percussionists. So you could play marimba or vibes or even timpani if you wanted... worth a shot I think. This is pretty sweet. I'm gonna play on this! Do you have to of school age though?

aleigh Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Contestants per the rules have to be at least 18 by Jan 3, 2008 Instruments they are looking for are: Strings (Viola, Violin, Cello, Upright (double) Bass); Woodwinds (Bassoon, Clarinet, Flute/Piccolo, Oboe, Soprano/Alto/Tenor/Baritone Saxophone); and Brass (Trombone, Trumpet/Flugelhorn, French Horn).

K-Swiss Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Oops... i guess they are excluding percussionists :) yup. i read the rules to make sure And I don't think a clarinet would fit into the bugle category in drum and bugle corps...

SkyDog Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 If you look at the list of eligible instruments, it looks like they're not looking for percussionists or low brass. No tubas or baris/euphs on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Swiss Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 my guess is they want primarily strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
