The last one doesn't make sense, because it's implying [1,2] [3,4] [5,6] as opposed to [1,2,3] [4,5,6] which is what it's supposed to be. Your method is syncopating the 3rd and 5th beats.
@hemutu Like I said in the video it depends on what your band director chooses for you to conduct. I've never heard of conducting 6/8 like that, it's not terrible but my only discrepancy with that is that your hands go up before the entire measure is finished. I only bring my hands up when the measure is up simply because everyone knows that a new measure is about to come when the hands are "up". Just listen to your director though, he has the last say in what you do.
@kittykatz503 That's up to you or your band director. Personally I don't like looking at "cup-handed" drum majors which is what you get when you put your thumbs in completely. I do agree though, my thumbs are further out in this video than they should be, but it's not terrible. If you're thumbs go to far out beyond that point then the band might see the beat different than what you might want to be giving, confusion is never good. Keep clear and you'll do great!

@hemutu I conduct 6/4 like 6/8, but doing it twice on the crossover (like, 1,2,3, 1,2 1,2,3, 1,2)
