Aaron Guidry Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Share how you've used your DCI background in everyday playing and performance experiences, both music and non-music related. Mine: I have always loved gridding flam paradiddles. They still are my favorite way to warm-up, from hotel lobby steel drum gigs to stages as large as New York City's Radio City Music Hall and the Russian Kremlin. My arranging and composing endeavors in the marching arts have guided the path to directing and leading bands from Vegas to Europe. Those experiences have definitely shaped me as a musician and performer. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornandsoccer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I can definitely say that the visual rehearsals I have gone through have affected how I prepare papers, emails, responses etc. The attention to detail in vis is exactly what one needs to make sure an argument is well-founded, sourced, elegant and efficient. Essentially, get to the point, cut your excuses and execute. Oh, and I'm really good at moving couches. Backwards technique FTW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevedb1975 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Sorry but self-promotion fail Oh come on! Let's not take things the wrong way, lest we look "jealous" (which can also appear as a form of "self centeredness"). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
