Marching Band Visual Warmup Exercise, "Traffic"

[djc4n]

[PurpleBearBird]

the zipper

[djkiliku]

Wow... they all leaned forward before taking the first step.

Gotta work on separating the upper and lower body so that you can get the feet around on the slides. Nice upper body though. Do this exercise SLOW, like 60bpm so they can really concentrate on their lower body.

The lower body should not look any different if going forward, backwards or in a slide. Imagine you have skis on your feet and your feet need to perfectly in line regardless of direction, speed or angle.

crazy feet going on there during the slide, postures quite god though.

[VMFA115Starloric]

Zig zag drill?

[Andophonic]

[kingarrrthur]

man.... weak baritone snap

[TonyBtones]

@kingarrrthur I love baritone, but some of the baritone players I know scare me.

Our senior baritone this year (just me as a freshman and him right now) is known for goofing off and mistreating his instruments.

The freshman baritone next year is definitely gonna need to be whipped into shape before the end of marching season; he's pretty immature and really scrawny so him marching baritone scares me...

[flutegeek0101]

The sax player is cute lol!!!

[BCDL08]

on the left turn the sax looks ....odd

[alildrumhappy]

kinda looks like hes trying to hard...

[wilsonkm]

On second thought.....I'd give it a 9 instead.

Haven't seen timing that good since last year w/ Cadets....

[wilsonkm]

Well....if I was judging, I'd have to give it a solid 8 out of 10....the timing out of the step-off was very clear and precise, as well as everyone using the same straight-leg technique. I do think the clarinet girl could maybe have a little higher toe-roll, just my opinion...from the side it appears that the technique was affected by the left and right-flank marching, more noticeable with the sax guy...other than that, some nice marching.

Etiwanda HS?

[mrshllbnntt]

We call that donkey kong, obviously with more than one line though.

[MelloLover]
