N.E. Brigand Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Cannot repeat enough how bad FloMarching, the company Music For All engaged to produce the BOA webcasts, did with that job. Be grateful for what DCI does! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadevilina Crown Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Arguably it was the most minimalist of the thirteen shows in Finals.I disagree. I would argue that the most minimalist show in all of Finals was Dobyns-Bennett, which utilized absolutely no props and pretty much let raw power and grace carry the show. But Carmel was definitely the most minimalist of the top half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbass598 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Disingenuous? No, I'm being very genuine. Simultaneous demand. Flexibility. Versatility. A traditional left hand can be trained to play matched with just a few hours of muscle training. Every new student should start training on traditional grip, IMO. I actually tried to remember the last time I saw a symphonic percussionist play traditional, and I can't remember one... I disagree that matched sounds better, but my hearing has been shot for years. And despite our difference of opinion, it is highly unlikely that any of those Reagan players will make a drum corps drum line. I woud beg to differ and take the opposite spectrum. I would never teach a beginning percussionist traditional grip because it only applies to 1 single instrument. A beginning percussionist should not have to worry about 2 different techniques while learning how to play rhythms and produce good sound at the same time. Once the basics have been achieved, it is actually easy to teach the left hand with a few hours of training and building muscle memory when the student is ready. The biggest issue kids have with the left hand is trying to play too much from the elbow and not turning the wrist like they should. It is an easy fix with proper instruction and the student actually practicing correctly on their own. Other minor details such as finger placement and how to initiate the stroke are all personal preference of the staff of the school/corps and get taught every season regardless since there are many ways to skin a cat in regards to technique.

xandandl Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Did anyone see anything from the bands this year specifically which may bode a trend in DCI this summer or future? Drillwise, I admit to being very disappointed in general although I saw some great designer staging and some nifty props. But repeatable, I am not sanguine.
