@jayce2728 don't be scared of tryouts. just work hard all summer and work your pants off for it. The first year I made it, I practiced marching 2-3 hours everyday taking weekends off, and music ~an hour a day. I learned the baritone in 3 months to make it into the band this way. If you work hard, you'd be surprised what you're able to achieve.
ALSO at my school we don't march like you guys do, we come down with our heels first, not our toes. not only do we obviously not look as good then, but its gonna be really hard for me to break that habit >:|
The alternate's do not march in the halftime show. They "challenge" a member that has a marching position. The person that grades out the highest gets to march, the other is an alternate and does not march. It is no accident this group is so good.

Why does he say "4" bass drums when there are clearly "5" in the shot?
