man.... weak baritone snap

[moviesmyway]

should be able to march anywhere. does it matter you dumbass?

@kingarrrthur I love baritone, but some of the baritone players I know scare me.

Our senior baritone this year (just me as a freshman and him right now) is known for goofing off and mistreating his instruments.

The freshman baritone next year is definitely gonna need to be whipped into shape before the end of marching season; he's pretty immature and really scrawny so him marching baritone scares me...

Wow... they all leaned forward before taking the first step.

Gotta work on separating the upper and lower body so that you can get the feet around on the slides. Nice upper body though. Do this exercise SLOW, like 60bpm so they can really concentrate on their lower body.

The lower body should not look any different if going forward, backwards or in a slide. Imagine you have skis on your feet and your feet need to perfectly in line regardless of direction, speed or angle.

crazy feet going on there during the slide, postures quite god though.
