The answer is always as simple as you think, putting in the work everyday until you make it. This means technique work, basics, tempo, touch, dynamics, vocabulary, movement, dance, and mental focus! If your dream is blue devils don't stop until you get there. This goes for anyone who wants to make top groups, but consistent practice, lessons, and marching experience is crucial. Also don't forget to enjoy yourself while you are grinding! Fall in love with drumming and enjoy it since it doesn't last forever. Don't wait until you make your dream group to finally start enjoying yourself as you can burnout very quickly. Hope this is encouraging and helpful, the answer is always simpler than you expect. Good luck!

Hey I have some questions about both blue devils band and just holding tenors. For blue devils, how is Scott Johnson like for small mistakes like a crushed roll or something? For holding tenors, what are some good workouts for holding them?
@gabrielmichels7022
Жыл бұрын
Scott is one of the nicest and most caring instructors I’ve ever had. He genuinely loves and cares about each member which is pretty amazing. He does however get frustrated when he knows we aren’t reaching our full potential. On specific hot days where we just weren’t playing as clean as we could he would get upset. He always wanted us to play as clean as he knew we could and disappointing him was like disappointing your favorite uncle. A 10/10 instructor For workouts you gotta exercise core, back, and legs. Weighted squats, deadlifts, seat rows, any core exercise you can think of, leg curls or extensions, calf raises, pull ups (assisted pulls up are fine if you can’t do a normal one), and then top it off with some shoulder work like shoulder press for where the harness sits. If your going to exercise for tenors might as well just start exercising your full body just for healthy sake, even though wearing tenors doesn’t really work out your biceps. Almost every single tenor played I’ve marched with (including me) as injured themselves at least once so just be careful and know your limits. - Gabe

I practiced a lot, it took a few years for me to finally make a group (Pacific Crest). I spent those years learning what I needed to do in order to get better. Find a mentor or private instructor, helps you figure out what to do. Make that first group, doesn’t matter where it is just find somewhere to play drums. Never neglect the fundamentals, a strong sound with great motion will set you apart. Hope this helps. Stick with it

Could you give some insight on how you guys tackled sound delay, especially on entrances where the front would be playing before battery enters?
@gabrielmichels7022
Жыл бұрын
Yeah great question, this concept is “front to back alignment” and it’s super challenging to get right. The drum major has to conduct ahead of the pit so the marching ensemble can play with what they see visually which then lines up musically. There’s tons of moving parts to nailing a backfield entrance and most of it was trial and error honestly. We had to work on interpreting the hands and that was different depending on the entrance, so it took a good amount of work to make everything click.
