This is pure genius. I don't really know that much about percussion because I've only ever played wind instruments but I can tell that those tenors are kicking tushy.
I feel like us tenors need some time in the spotlight. This is our time to shine ever since the rest of the band as the focus during the tenor break in 2008. But as someone who has played xylophone as well as tenors, I can say that mallet part is sick.
lmao.. i saw big loud and live in theatres and i ALMOST missed all the upside down stuff.. lol i missed the awsome pit part and the contras.. didnt no they were the ones holding the ppl.. i guess i have a really crappy eyes when it comes to stuff like that
Everything about this is awesome. Upside down tenors, split-doubles in the pit, and now the basses are in on it too, balancing on the bass drums themselves, haha. Maybe upside-down snares by finals??? =]
@andyandabby4ever I believe they got the idea from last winter's WGI finals. One of the lines, I'm thinking it was Rhythm X (but don't quote me on that), threw in a visual quite like that, and I guess the Cavvies decided to implement it. SPLOOOIIIIEEEE!!!
The screaming is unfortunate. I was using my iPhone4 to record so the audio was going to be questionable at best anyway :-( The stuff that the front ensemble is doing during this portion of the show is pretty amazing too......didn't even notice it because all the focus was on the tenor line!
Did anyone notice the guard split part at about :23?

Upside down drums is probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen a drum sore do during a show.

We did this at our high school while cadencing, and it blew our fans' minds. I would recommend doing it during a solo.

Pit needs to get more credit during that break. Technically speaking, what theyre doing there is way harder then what the tenors are doing
