  • @dundy96 Not a problem. Good luck in your audition. You've picked a great piece.

  • @jonrskelton1962 Thanks alot.. I have an idea of what you mean now. If you were wondering why I was asking so many questions, I'm auditioning from drum major at my school some time this month, and I wan't to use this song as my audition piece. Thanks for answering all my questions and I'm sorry if I bothered you.

  • @dundy96 I'll try to explain as best as I can. Even though he is directing in a 4/4 pattern it looks to me that the beats he is directing are eighth notes or cut time. But around where you are questioning, 1:48, it looks like it has an odd measure which changes the downbeat to the right foot; but when the mallets play their last run it is also an odd measure so the corps ends up back on the left foot when they come back in. We even did that in drum corps back in the 80s. Anyone else??

  • @jonrskelton1962 Sorry for asking so many questions but I still don't understand..

  • @jonrskelton1962 Sorry for asking so many questions but I still don't understand..

  • @dundy96 eighth notes sorry - 1/8

  • @jonrskelton1962 What's 1/8??

  • @dundy96 at :25 he does a 4/4 then a 2/4. At 1:48 he's directing 1/8 notes. It kind of looks like a 9/8 measure and the mallet run at the end of the drum break brings it back to 1.

  • @jonrskelton1962 I know what a drum major looks like lol..And I tried to look but, in places like 0:25 and 1:48, he does some weird movements that don't look like any time signature I've seen. And how could I contact them? By there website?

  • @dundy96 You can always contact the Blue Devils directly. Not sure if John Meehan or Wayne Downey did the arrangement. The easiest way to get the meter is from the drum major's hands. Just watch. He's wearing white gloves so they stand out.
