:04  ... epic...?

[thunderbird1]

go mel!

[boiitre]

when did TJC convert 2 corps....who is the band director now?

[idkmyname13]

What I want to know is: How are you supposed to march in 3/4 time. That would be a little confusing, seeing how in the beginning 4/4 time is there. Then when you switch, you have to remeber that beat 1 doesn't always start with your left foot anymore.

[Stelloctis]

That confused me aswell.

[jorut07]

it was hard to get used to..and this year we had 3/4, 4/4, and 5/4 marching

[alildrumhappy]

Marching in 7/8 is confusing. lol.. but fun!

[radiosteele]

You march in 6s - problem solved.

[idkmyname13]

How are you going to march in 6s going 165 bpms? You would be going too fast to make a good sound.

[radiosteele]

I did this in 2006 with my drum corps. Counting 3/4 as 6 (two measures) makes your ones consistantly on your left foot.. I did this with 5/4 time - by counting it as 2 measures - 10 counts. The drill was written that way too. This approach will always result in count 1 hitting on your left foot.

If that's not making much sense, you'll just need to actually have an odd-metered piece to trial-and-error with. Experience is the best teacher.

[idkmyname13]

Oh. Now I see what you are saying. Thanks.

[thunderbird1]

the idkmyname dude...umm..its not that hard...lol

[idkmyname13]

Yeah. I get it now. We have this song as our opener in our show this year. It's going to be awesome. GO OBHS BAND!!!

[xXInfernessXx]

And to think, in a couple of months, I'm going to be going to band camp, for THIS band.

And I'm actually EXCITED about it.

...I'm such a band nerd. xD

[DarkArts124]

See you there and don't forget water.

[Ghost0728]

Yea if you forget water, your dead.

[jordjord321]

It's band geek.

[Dragon150043]

Hmm. I march for RCC and you guys should compete . Because if you did, we would too!!!!!

[calechiwp]

Joey Tartell played the fanfare this time.

[jpeanrkode]

Who played the fanfare? I did it 4 years ago and slaughtered it most of the time.

[LSUBandMan]

Unbelievable that this is the same band I was in just a year and a half ago!!! You guys are awesome, I hope that maybe I'll get to see you on day soon!!!
