That one I can contribute to. Since you drew the short straw Greg, it's all yours to create. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tesmusic Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 It would be great to see videos of many of these names. Admittedly, I’ve heard of many, but not all, and would love to see them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanguard had one Drum Major that year. He was just so smooth. I watched him when they were in Hamilton, Ontario and was in awe at how polished he was. He made it look so easy. The example shown is from their "Young Person's Guide" piece. Look at his legs as he is conducting from a time when Drum Majors marked time on the podium. They are so straight that they look like pistons. The white bucks make it even more visible. At the 1:20 mark as Vanguard transitions into their percussion solo, he gets off the podium, walks to the left hand side and watches for the entire duration of the solo. That percussion section was so well oiled they didn't need a Drum Major during their solo so he didn't even pretend. He gets in front of the podium at the 2:05 mark, does some sort of a salute and then back on the podium for the brass entry. At the 2:30 mark he gets off the podium again as Vanguard rotates the form from right to center field. At the 3:10 mark he makes his way to center field, turns around and conducts each section of brass as they proceed forward. At the 3:50 mark he's back on the podium conducting the dual time signatures at the end of the piece. https://youtu.be/8eFbOEmPReQ Edited November 17, 2020 by Continental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny1NoteDM Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 From one Drum Major (Me - Bluecoats DM 1988-1991) to another; Doug Rutherford, Garfield Cadets, was the leader I looked up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
