mingusmonk Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Is this making history in that BD has never had a female center snare before? Right. Original post wording is a little confusing. This is the first time BD has ever had a female center snare. Not the first time there has been a female center snare in a DCI World line.

gesiferd Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Remember that really cool young lady who came over from Bluecoats? (Nicole Casino) Yea we she is center snare now! Right on BD! Okay, I'm a long-time DCI/band fan, but don't believe I know the implications of being the center snare... I assume that she is the "section leader' of the snares, but what does that entail for performance? Does everyone guide off them for tempo/stick height/whatever?

Glen Typically the strongest, most consistent and musical player. Players on the R and L of center listen in toward center, to hold together ensemble. Center snare also typically sets the the tone at practice. No one moves until the center says so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllianaLancerContra Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Had BD or any other drum corps, won the title with a woman as center snare? Pretty sure back when DCI had the 'All-Girl' division the winner had a female center snare. Unless they had an even number of snares that is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senators Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Is this making history in that BD has never had a female center snare before?

84BDsop Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Although not knowing her name I believe the 1985 Garfield Cadets had a girl centre snare drummer and a pretty amazing one at that I think she marched in the 84 snare line as well, when Aungst was the center stick.

jonnyboy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 SCV has a female center snare a few seasons ago. Crown also did, but I think she was injured during the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
