@richyg1299 Noo...that's what our judges told us. And our band director.. he's a "short-and-to-the-point" guy. I like making mine about 8 counts. 8 for the "strut," 8 for the salute. (:
Very cool:) I just made a combination of Ashton's and Keaton's. I did make sure to forward your video to the band and give you full credit though:) Thanks a bunch!
@HeEm1215 also what does it matter if they're in band they have good salutes plus it says they're drum major salutes and you kinda have to be in band to be a drum major. I don't think they were making them just or fun.
@HeEm1215 I think that some of them are too long but several aren't. You generally want to keep your salute 10 seconds or less. You don't want to give them your visual dissertation. A few were too long, but I know for a fact that the second one was 10 seconds or less and that one was fine. You want to keep it short and sweet but that doesn't mean it has to be simple.
oh my gosh. ok i live in idaho. and i dont think there's a limit here for how long they have to be...but my school is known for our awesome salutes because our's are always really kinda out there and not just a simple hand to the forehead and down again salute...i'm totally using the salute at 0:50 for our show this year because it totally matches our concept! :) THANK YOU!!!
@DCInternationalfan Actually, they are not awful. These types of salutes are highly preferred for drum majors in North Mississippi. You should learn about different styles and what is "good" for that region before you label good or bad.
whats a salute? a way to show the judges that your band is ready. What is dancing? A way to show off your arrogant ass.. judges dont care about all that junk!
@molecular360 I think you'd be surprised if you heard my drum major's tapes, mine and my students, of nearly a decade of what is accepted. Some of these salutes would score well in a competition.
actually, all of them are good length, really. a good one is between 8-16 beats. and these are all very entertaining and nice to watch ..kudos to you guys.. awesome
If you count the salutes in seconds, they are really between 4-9 seconds. I think they are a nice length. While it isn't an extremely important to have an extravegant salute, you don't want a "lame" one. I personally like these. Good job guys :)
A band does not have to have an amazing Drum Major Salute to be a "cool" As long as you can lead the band to greatness thats what matters. And As long as your band sounds good. Thats what matters.
Besides the critiques of the other I must add that yes it's better to stop a salute on 4,8,12 or 16 but short and simple isn't always the best way to go. Competitions I have been in also count the salute as a general effect score if the crowd does a cheer for your salute. I have seen it done with my Drum Major when I was in 9th grade. Now none of the Drum Majors do anything special and haven't heard anyone cheer for a DM in a while.
i agree with most of the comments already in saying that these salutes are too long!! although a few were really cool and entertaining you really need to keep them short and sweet!!!
Well we have two salutes the one for getting award which is short and the extremely long and extravvegent one where I actually use years of Tae Kwon Do and run up two other drum majors and flip off them... ya its pretty awesome and a bitch except we didnt think this through cause we were tuxs and figured we would rip them so toned it down. :(
I think this was awesome. You put some creativity into making this and there's nothing wrong with that. However, they are a bit sloppy. The palms of your hands during the last count, shouldn't be showing. And you might want to look into someone showing how to do a proper Order Arms. And there's nothing wrong with the length of them. I attended DMA in '07 where one of the staff showed us a 20 count salute. It was amazing. As long as it's done properly you'll maintain the audience's interest.
WTF is this shit? its almost disrespectful.. this must be some dumb ass American cadet acntict.. one thing. ur arms must be tight by your sides.. two. a salute the count is (up.2.3.down) not dance dance give the finger slap Ur titties salute then pop Ur chest like a girl... u disgrace the salute.... l3rn 2 play
@CrazeKillen I think you need to learn how to type. These types of salutes are highly preferred for drum majors in the North Mississippi area. I do not know where they are from, but you should learn about different styles and what is acceptable for that region before you give advice.
most of these are too long. i've always heard that the salute should be 8 counts max. some of them have a lot of repetitive motions, too, so they're less interesting than they could be.
@dmajor545 These types of salutes are highly preferred for drum majors in the North Mississippi area. I do not know where they are from, but you should learn about different styles and what is acceptable for that region before you give advice.
Yeah, guys, were not in Britten. The palms really need to come down so we don't see them. Other then that, they are pretty awesome. Just try to keep it 14 counts or less, so the audience doesn't get bored.
Don't show the whole palm of you hand forward like that. Your hand show be predominantly straight, with preferably a little bit turned down, to show the back of the hand.
If it makes any difference at all, I think the salutes were great! :D And I was told that the salutes could only last for 12 counts, so you dummies are getting worked up over nothing! Great job you three! :P
dddddamn youtube comment douche bags callllmmm downnn. they just made a video of their salutes and you act like they just called your mother a fat whore. it's not that epic!!! guys, there was silly lookin stuff in there but there was also cool beans stuff in there that i'm using for my salute for drum major tryouts. ignore assy yotubers they just need a midol. at least your nt doin single ladies like i saw one peron do...yikes
Dude, ours this year was AMAZING, our theme was like Africa and our drum major tuxedos had leopard print like capes and cuffs and vests. They break danced... not sure what I will do next year.
someday you'll grow up, look back at this video and realize how mind-numbingly retarded and unbelievably lame things like this are. these people are the ones that give marching band and its members a bad name. no one gives a shit about your stupid salutes, you just look like a tool, and everyone in the school is laughing at you behind your back. be good at something worth being good at, not ten seconds of useless pageantry.
Hey, I just want to say thanks. I'm only in eighth grade and I'm trying out for high school drrum major. They made me come up with my own 16 count salute and I was freaking out, but you guys are awesome and saved my life;)
omg. we had drum major practice today, and well.. i didn't like my salute veyr much, compared to others. and i happened to see this, and realized, "wtf? everyone's salute came from this video!" i'm serious. one girls salute was EXACTLY like the 2nd guy. I was wondering why everyone was using the same moves. AND THATS WHY. AAH!
A tip on editing if I may suggest. Some people may want to mimic your salutes. Why not perform them slower? Or perhaps another video on doing it in slo-mo.
Okay, like some had stated: The salute should be short, sharp, and to the point. The DM is the leader of the band. The DM has to have the "I'm the best, my band is the best, everyone wants to be me or in my band" attitude. The long dances and silly moves, does not portray that. Stick to the 'short, sharp, and to the point' theory and remember: It's a salute..
@Gimpet14976 depends on how much personality you have. it can be as low as 8 beats, and as high as 16, and you are allowed to be as creative as you want with it.
@Gimpet14976 These types of salutes are highly preferred for drum majors in the North Mississippi area. I do not know where they are from, but you should learn about different styles and what is acceptable for that region before you give advice.
ehhr the idea is to be quick, show them your ready and that your band is gonna knock them off their feets. and thats done with sharp and fast ones with a serious look on. and sure smiling is good after taking the shako off. but like
Yall three deffinently have the best salutes I've EVER seen. Being drum major for my little high school band is deffinently my obsession. lol. I think you should let me "steal" an idea, got any tips? =]] Thanks =]]
1. Some bands use "flashy" salutes for competition. Just because it's "flashy" doesn't mean you're not a "serious" drum major.
2. This salutes are a bit, "crazy". I don't think flashy is the right word for it. But they might look better if they actually acted like they were performing rather than goofing around.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
how faggoty... these stupid band geek drum major salutes are as mela dramatic as the idiots doing them... what drama queens... none of you would ever make it in DCI
Well, why not just make a less flashy one for competitions? You can make a flashy one for games and then make it really simple for competitions. That way, you can have fun when it's allowed, but when it's necessary to look serious, you can do so. [:
very creative, but you guys are focusing far too much on the "pre" salute, rather than the salute itself.
It is respectful to stay at your salute position for at least 4 beats, without showing the palm or thumb of your hand. This is the most crucial part to any salute. After all, salutes are for our veterans and armed forces, it is only proper that you treat them with such respect
this looks just like tutting for dance, with a really sweet finishing touch, i love how all the salutes are so neat and how it transitions so beautifully
Meh, I think you all need to lighten up. My schools Drum Majors do both the traditional simple, and more "fun" salutes, it just depends on what we are doing at the time. For example, On halloween, we do a fun salute, as well as on Senior Night. In play off games, we do a more serious, traditional salute. Each has its merits, depending on the situation.
The last one = goose dance

lets be serious for a second:
1. Some bands use "flashy" salutes for competition. Just because it's "flashy" doesn't mean you're not a "serious" drum major.
2. This salutes are a bit, "crazy". I don't think flashy is the right word for it. But they might look better if they actually acted like they were performing rather than goofing around.
A for Effort Though.

Your salutes are pretty flashy. I like em' though. I can't make up crap.
Although, you guys are showing way too much palm and it's not just the angle of the camera. Too much palm is bad. I'm sure you know this already.

Most judges deduct points for stupid moves like that. yeah its flashy and cool looking but thats not your job is it?

Well, why not just make a less flashy one for competitions? You can make a flashy one for games and then make it really simple for competitions. That way, you can have fun when it's allowed, but when it's necessary to look serious, you can do so. [:

@0mansoon0 last time I checked, all the judges in our area want is flashy. so yeah maybe it's starting to be that way.

very creative, but you guys are focusing far too much on the "pre" salute, rather than the salute itself.
It is respectful to stay at your salute position for at least 4 beats, without showing the palm or thumb of your hand. This is the most crucial part to any salute. After all, salutes are for our veterans and armed forces, it is only proper that you treat them with such respect

this looks just like tutting for dance, with a really sweet finishing touch, i love how all the salutes are so neat and how it transitions so beautifully

Meh, I think you all need to lighten up. My schools Drum Majors do both the traditional simple, and more "fun" salutes, it just depends on what we are doing at the time. For example, On halloween, we do a fun salute, as well as on Senior Night. In play off games, we do a more serious, traditional salute. Each has its merits, depending on the situation.

When making a salute, creativity & simplicity is KEY.
These are all almost the same idea and are too long.
Remember, the show is about the whole band, not just you and your "cool" salute.
