      Number 15 was our band when the bass drums (AKA me) came in completely late. This was like midway through our winter season, and most of the bass drummers still struggled memorizing the music, so our tech was like, I'm giving the part to my favorite student/drumset player.

    These had me laughing. At a competition in ‘90, we had already performed so there was time to watch a couple other bands’ performances. I specifically remember a line with a tenor player who had marched Bluecoats. It was very obvious that all of the talent and book were centered on his performance. That kid was doing stuff that didn’t even belong in the ensemble, let alone the rest of the quad line, but he did it well. Honestly, he probably improvised the whole show. Meanwhile, the snares sounded like a spoon in a blender and the basses struggled with 16th notes.

  • @Leendeenspleen

    One time when i auditioned for tenors (keep in mind it was my first year in marching band as a 7th grader.) We when to put the drums on for the first time and it was very heavy. The other kid auditioning for tenors who was a senior helped me put on the drums and they were very heavy. The instructor told me to try playing the music in the warm up packet but i forgot how to play in so i just played jig 2. I ended up in the pit that year

  • @ryan_1314
    @ryan_1314 10 місяців тому +32

    For the high school I went to, it would definitely be "feature was cut" because I don't think they've had an actual drum feature since my freshman year, as anything else remotely close to a drum feature was like an 8 bar percussion fill before winds kept playing again.
    Me personally as a beginner writer, I'd be "overwritten and terrible" because I don't have a solid grasp on what exactly is and isn't difficult for drumline

    • @Nareimooncatt
      @Nareimooncatt 10 місяців тому +1

      Did your school march military style? I made a similar comment as a suggestion for a 16th feature type because ours was military style. Those songs don't really allow for a feature, but would occasionally do a 1 to 8 bar break during a big maneuver to prevent lazer sounds. It was only the regular march cadence, though, not a real feature.

    • @ryan_1314
      @ryan_1314 10 місяців тому +2

      @@Nareimooncatt nah, ours was definitely more DCI style, heavily inspired by phantom, crown, and BD.
      to be more specific with how our drum features were, freshman year (2018) had an 8 bar feature showcasing each section, as well as another feature in 7/8, sophomore and junior year had no features, only a few fills, senior year (2021) had like a couple triplets before a bari sax solo, and 2022 if I remember right had a small fill to increase tempo.

    2:59 was me specifically, i joined cause some peers of mine in my music elective class wanted me to join marching band, and so I did, with absolutely no knowledge of how to comprehend, let alone read music. I was Front Ensemble, couldn't read music, so I listened and eventually found the places I was meant to strike a drum, or a symbol. It was fun though, would recommend to anyone who has passion for music!

    Suggestion for your next top 15: Entire drum line plays as loud as they can, all the time.
    Also: Bass drummers are all freshman and are embarrassed to turn sideways to the sideline on the drum feature because they are embarrassed that their friends will see them and make fun. Which they would have.
    And yes both ^^^ happened to me one time I was the volunteer drum instructor for a small school. That's why it only happened to me one time.
