kylerogers Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) Has anyone noticed alot of snarelines are going to 8 instead of 9 or 10 in the past. Of all the Div 1 corps who have pictures on the internet, these have 8 snares: Blue Devils Crusaders Cavies Crossmen Mandarins Pioneer SCV Southwind (there are probably more) Cadets, Scouts and Magic have 9. Have you noticed, and why do you think this is happening? Edited June 19, 2006 by kylerogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbass598 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 If anything, snare lines are getting bigger. 7, 8, or 9 has been pretty average. If anything, there are more groups marching 10 than there have been in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHSnare Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Yeah, I've seen Cadets and Coats with 10 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walder Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 this goes up and down every 6 to t years....nothing new...this has been going on for the past 30 years. some years its popular to march 7-5-5, other years 10-5-5...some possible reasons is talent and what they want to achieve with the line/show...no sense in having 6 returning members and fielding 10 snares if the talent isnt there, its easier to add 1 or 2 (probably from bass vet) than train someone entirely new.

woodster Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 my experience...seven usually meant you lost snaredrummers either due to knees or other issues (though it could be lack of talent). It always seemed harder to keep a snareline together and healthy than a quad line. I theorized it was always us fatties on the quadline whose knees could take anything compared to the skinnies on the snareline who all had knee braces by the end of the summer. But remember, just cause they march a small number doesn't usually mean they wanted it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontline99 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Cap Reg is at 10 snares this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walder Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 personally a larger snare/tenor line will not net you higher results, no matter how clean, how expressive...the only thing it CAN do is net you lower results, due to cleaning such a large spread. I would rather see more melodic-tonal representation, than huge drumlines on the field. Star of Indiana won GE percussion and almost won drums over Cadets in 1990 with 5 snares, 4 tenors and 5 basses. (they won drums in 91 and 93 with one of the smallest battery perc in top 12) remember, the battery only plays an equal role along with the front in today's scoring system. however, i marched in a line 10-5-5 and it is thrilling!
