That is totally Audray yelling during the triplet roll... hah.

Star 93...7 snares, 3 tenors, and 5 bass....one of the cleaniest lines. I say march the numbers that can play seriously clean beats and screw the size of the line. Sometimes I think the fans and the music judges need to just close their eyes and listen.

Man the tenors suck!!!!

@rcranger1 I know they have different sound opportunities, but they have tenor sticks now that produce virtually the same sound with a wooden tip that are shorter. I've played tenors as well.

@MBlood08 Most Drum Corps-- and my High School Battery use Snare Sticks on Tenors. It's just sound possibility-- not always look or feel.

Take a deeper listen--

I suggest listening to the Cavaliers 2008 Drum Break-- listen for the difference between the Nylon and Aluminum Mallets, and the Wood of the Snare Stick.

It's cool stuff man.

Believe me.

I play Tenors. XD

[MBlood08]

Really cool line. The quads do look a bit awkward playing with snare sticks though.

@TheDragonmaster18 Haha Troop is definitely not new...America's Corps baby!

[irishfan8989]

you def don't need many in the line to play clean like that. you guys sound great

[Crueltool8]

@jamieman28 and a big time right hand slice!

[changbang412]

@TheDragonmaster18 they were one of the first corps. they created the sunburst and apparently they were the first ones to start warming up in archs with the drumline.
