Totally true also ur hands are not facing band there more fist and punching and stomping then directing no showing off too much 4/5 ur still good

@Mattsans145 thank you for your comments! i agree with you to a certain point. i couldve cleaned up my hands a lot lol. my opinion though, is that moves should be functional with the music and performance. not just functional on a basic level. thats why i chose to do a lot of that stuff. the moves were designed to accentuate the music and performance i wanted out of the band members. but thats just my opinion. im glad you still enjoyed it!

[Mattsans145]

@laluenke and now I cansay 5/5 You have know the real importance of directing and tje functionality of it. A+++++ Awsome great directing. Hope to see some more possably in the near future. :)

[laluenke]

@nobuendo no sir. i think it IS cadets, but not the 2009 version, i performed this before that year. i cant, however, remember what year it is from.

Heyyyy that's my band room O.o

This is positively excellent. I think my favorite part is your ability to give cues and dynamics with equal proficiency with either hand. I was trained to always give them with the left hand, but I feel like that sort of ambidexterity can help a lot more than hurt.

Also, very good showmanship and presence. I'll be using this as a model for my drum major audition for the Mighty Sound of Maryland in the winter :P
