S. Pearson Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hey Jed, Did I read the I&E schedule correctly? I would have figured you for a tenor solo... In any case, best wishes! Pearsony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mayer Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Ya I know, I have been doing the same snare solo since the Govies started going to DCA. I call it 2 street beats and a warm up. It all started to 3 years ago to try and encourge the Govies snare drummers to put their money where their mouth is (since they always have the answer to everything, except how to play a snare solo). I still hold the corps record for the highest finish on snare, which I believe is in the "low 20's", hoping to make it to the "mid teens" this year, which will set in play a number of events. 1) set a new Govie record for highset finish ever at DCA 2) set a new consecutive record for not finishing last (going for 3 in a row) 3) kicking Lee Rednickie's ### on snare (this has nothing todo with this subject, but I thought I would just through it out and see what happens) 4) restoring honnor to the great Govies drumlines. 5) and some utter crap I can't think of at this moment. Please don't hate me because I play snare. I promiss to play match grip the whole time, so it's almost like playing tenor, except for that annoying noise that keeps comming out of it. Will you be in attendance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be in attendance? LOL (annoying noise-from the drum or from the usual snare players mouth?) Note: usual doesn't mean ALL snare players mouths... No, if I were in attendance, I'd probably go out for tenor for old times sake... Best wishes and keep me informed on the BF parade...
