Marching Band Drill - A Band Directors Perspective

[711kce]

Pretty nice drill..... "The Canyon" Santa Clara Vanguard 1999, "Concierto De Aranjuez" Blue Devils 2003 ( or might be Boston Crusaders 2003, they did the same song the same year, cant tell from recording.. ) , "Medea" Star of Indiana 1993

[ASHLEYwithANe]

which show is this because this seems very similar to a show called 5 day 4 cast played in connecticut at the lyman hall competition and the half time all the time comp. by the southington highschool blue knoghts marching band

[arjunadrill]

@ASHLEYwithANe Ths music is from various drum corps but the show idea is an original idea I put together. Its not unlikely that another band do something similar

[ASHLEYwithANe]

@arjunadrill well in that case u are very good but i mean i watched the video my dad took of the competition and it like exactly the same except for a few variations in drills (i would post the video but my computer wont let me post video)

[perfectsen10rs2010]

[euphonium2011]

[arjunadrill]

@euphonium2011

[sballangel93]

[PAIJETHEPYT]

lol it looked like a butt in the beggining but one of the best i've seen

[Rachey827]

what was the song before "Canyon" in the intro?? i like it.

[DEVONVINSON]

when your next full show comin out

[silkaem]

Field Artist?... I gotta get this software.

But, I gotta say, for NOT being a director yet, you are well ahead of yourself. I'd love to work beside u some day when I finish my schooling.

[itsyourboygreg]

haha it's 95 dollars

[RabbitLover77]

well its better than pywares price

[Saxophoneallday]

I Love Dis Drill U I could Show This To my band director for or show

[FleckAndAxel]

i have to say, the design on the canyon was well written, i dont normally like the giant screens on feild, i think its unnecissary and it reminds me of winterguard, but other than taht, i felt the design was very nice.

[futurecav2008]

could you tell me who the composer or arranger is for "Canyon"

[711kce]

@futurecav2008  Philip Glass

[backoffyou]

pretty BA.

dude the only thing is, those boards would cost a ton cuz they hav to b big enough for like the whole band to hide behind it. haha.

[katmarc1986]

I like how you mixed up SCV 99 and Star 93 at the end there. Sounded like it would go together very well.

[Aeruchin]

One thing you need to do is be sure that all sections of the drumline are relatively close to each other. If they're far apart, it's practically impossible to play clean, hence the dirty dirty playing in Star 93. Their drumline was split in two, playing at different spots on the field. Perhaps they WERE playing clean, but from the front, it's not.

Another thing is that you have to be aware of spots that will cause phasing, especially in sets that cover a large area.

[evisionmarching]

Some pretty hardcore backward step sizes

[dcritchie]

i really enjoyed the set at 4:55

[kingcyberklutz]

I Absolutely agree with pshsa5! I live in NJ(USSBA Country) We're Blessed with many High Quality Programs here in Jersey, Particularly in The Affluent suburabn Districts.Quality Marching among HS Bands is far more prevalent today than it was even 5 years ago.This is a Show I'd Love To See!

[pshsa5]

yeahhh Field Artist does take some getting used to.. But I think I'm pretty good at it now :]

But on the subject of a high school not being able to do this, I'm pretty sure a high level one can. Actually I'm pretty sure mine could.

[bryan2449abcdef]

of course with that music well played my 3 year old brother could write effective drill lol

[straightj23]

This music is from drum corps. The opener was Santa Clara Vanguard's 1999 show opener. The second part is from a different drum corps show. I don't know which. The last part is from Star of Indiana's 1993 show. Great drill to go with it though! Would be a great show if you had a band with enough muscle-mass to pull it off.

[bass30507]

its really good no doubt about that but for a high school it might be very challenging...u would have to put a couple of holds in there somewhere..other that I would really like to c a band march that.

[arjunadrill]

Ha! No holds for my band! I'm not a director yet, but my band will definitely be marching this kind of stuff!

[bass30507]

haha thats kool good luck with that man...I would really want to c ur band in the future then.....

[suta07]

hey man i've always been impressed with ur writing since i first saw it, really nice, i actually wouldnt mind learing from you how to use this software the right way right way and make everything merge the way it does

[arjunadrill]

Well thanks! I can help you with whatever questions you may have. Ask away! Message me if you want my AIM.

[adkii07]

I think its just made up! Man you really r a Field Artist Pro. I have not figured out how to combine forms to blocks w/o them looking wierd and impossibe! Yet...

[arjunadrill]

Well hang in there you'll get the hang of it! FA takes some time getting use to!!

[MDLtenorline]

what band is this, and do they actually have a video of this??

[arjunadrill]

This is one of my demo shows that I made. Unless granted permission by the director I won't post any real bands. These demos help directors get a good view of my writing style and what to expect!

[adkii07]

Simply Amazing!

[arjunadrill]

Thank You!!
