I'm in 8th grade (almost freshman it's the end of the year) and the incoming freshman will definitly be humble because none of us have any idea what were doing for marching and we know the upper classmen are better than us We wont deny it
Good advice ✨✨ I'm actually on my high school band I play the trumpet and I am reconsidering on continuing band during college also so Thx for advice 👌🏾✨
Asia bae I’m glad I could help, if you decide to to continue band in college I’m telling you, you definitely won’t regret especially if you come to Bethune-Cookman! #HailWildcats
i'm a softmore, but i'm just joining marching band this year, so this was really humbling. even tho i'm technically not a freshman, i'm feeling lucky to be part of my band now and i won't take it for granted. you seem like a great drum major, thanks for the advice! :)
I’ll be an incoming freshman or “crab” for the BCU band this summer. I’m glad I saw this because I just got my band music in the mail the other day and I’m rather nervous that I’ll mess up badly even though I practice my trombone like every day and that I’ll probably wind up being alone and not making any friends. Thanks for the video!
Sidney P. Brown you’ll make friends don’t you worry! To this day I still keep in contact with my freshman brothers and sisters. Continue to practice your horn and do the best you can. You will be fine!
I'M A FRESHMAN AT CARVER COLUMBUS GA AND I THINK WE ARE MARCHING IN Y'ALL PARADE AND I'M IN THE DRUMLINE AND I PLAY SNARE. THANKS FOR THE ADVICE BRO REALLY HELPED ME OUT ALOT.
In August I will be starting band camp for marching band, and I’m already scared. I’m not even in high school yet, so i don’t really know what to expect. I play bari sax when I’m in concert band, but when I march, i will play tenor. Any advice for me? I’ll be the only student still in middle school in the band.
I AGREE WITH YOU 100%! I'm a GSU "WORLD FAMED" Tiger Alumni Band Member, crabbed fall 93 and we had a sideline too. Freshmen need to be humble, on time, know their music, stay or get in shape, learn the dance steps quickly, respect everyone. As far as hazing goes, it's not suppose to happen. Instead of hazing, I tried to MOTIVATE the crabs to work harder. Unfortunately, there will always be some freshmen show up that will make you want to haze them, but upperclassmen are suppose to know better and that is why it is important for the band director to choose the right person to be section leader to keep their section under control.
I felt this so hard. My parents are always late to pick me up, I'm ALWAYS the last one at my band hall, and one of the directors would always have to wait with me. It was so embarrassing
@@Jabarikjay would like you to know that you responded at the beginning of my senior year of marching. i have come a long way since. i appreciate your help towards the beginning
I’m in 8th grade and I’ve just finished my winterguard season and all of the trombones are quitting except for me and my friend and she’s leaving me for the color guard so I’ll be the only freshman and the only girl on the trombone section 🥲
hey! so i’m an upcoming percussionist coming into marching band and i’m supppppperrrr nervous and i’m so stressed about band camp because i’m gonna end up in the pit on marimba, and i feel like i won’t be good enough to be able to keep up with the music and stuff, so any tips?😬
You’ll be fine, I’m 2 years late so I’m sure you got it together! I’ll still give you the tips though. I would make it clear to the band director what instrument you want to play. Worst thing they can say is no. I did the same and I still ended up going to an instrument that they band needed. Overall just learn the instrument you want to play even if it’s not what you’re marching and your hard work will show and they may move you.
I'm gonna be a freshman this year and I play oboe for concert band, but in marching band I will play alto sax 🎷. I'm a bit nervous but your advice will help me and I feel better already 😊.
danggggggg is it really that hard??? im in 8th grade and next year im going ta Marching Band. So we have this thing called the Rookie Band Camp (Not the actual band camp) but because of the COVID-19 thing we have to have our physicals done in order to participate in it. I didn't know about it at all so I wasn't able to make a reservation in time so I missed out on the Rookie Band Camp... so sad... I hope that's okay for the band director tho...
I’m not sure if i’m doing marching band this year. I’m going into 7th grade this year and my brother’s highschool band director has asked me if I would do marching band as a seventh grader since i’m old enough. I’ll probably be in the pit with percussion, but I’m just watching this just in case I end up doing it this year. I already know a lot of the band from my brother which would help me feel more confident.
Is BCU the marching mans that was on Netflix? I am in high school marching band and I really enjoy it. I am looking forward to going to a good college marching band like FSU
I am an incoming freshman at my high School which is Western Guilford High School and I am going to be in the marching band. do you have any advice on what brass instrument I should play ? Keep up the good work and GO WILDCATS
HHhhhhhhhh I play the trombone and I'm b a d I'm scared and I know I'm not good I'm so afraid. I'm in 8th grade and we're about to enter May. It's so scary and we start summer band camp in July. I'm studying my music like every 5 seconds. Any advice? The upper classmen are really scary and kinda mean. I will be the first to admit i know im horrible and i know everyone is better hhhhh
I hope you’ve been practicing! Don’t allow anyone to intimidate you. Go in handle your business in the band room and go home. You’re there to learn. You’ll be fine
If our counselor asked us to take concert band (before marching) is there a reason? Also, does concert still count as P.E credit, since, it's techincally sitting down.. I'm open to all smh. Edit: [Already been answered]
KuddoK in my school band was band. There was no separate class for marching and concert band. In the fall you march and in the spring it’s concert band season BUT it was the same class
Princesa Montiel same thing applies. Flutes and piccolos sit in the first row so it’s best y’all know y’all music to the T because y’all are DIRECTLY in front of the band director. You literally cannot mess up.
Aye palm beach lakes will see you guys on the 15th at the battle of the bands. I’m really looking forward to seeing you guys. By the way I play trombone for palm beach lake high school
Matthew Heard nothing tbh, they’re still in charge. When the time comes to apply to become section leader, if you feel that you can be a better section leader then apply for the position and if what you think is true then you’ll get the position.
😂😂 every time i watch Drumline i see things that happen at Cookman my freshmen year (soon as we got on campus we went to a party that was playing that same music Lets Go Lets Go...Miami Mike being ask why he didn't wake Woe Woe up and him saying i ain't his momma..or me almost quitting the Band cause i didn't want to cut my dreads)😂😂 #HailThePride Fall93
JabarikJay Yes bruh heard one the writers from Cookman, must be that trumpet player that used to walk around with the camcorder saying he going to make a band movie one day..lol..9yrs later Drumline
I’m in marching band myself, and I think he forgot one crucial thing.

@@Jabarikjay were all really excited, we just got the marching band music
purplecatlover1825 randompizza do the teachers tell you how to do it ? Like where to go and how many steps it takes and also is it fun
@@isaacvillanueva6811 yeah they go over all of the fundamentals and everything and the section leaders will help you
purplecatlover1825 randompizza ok thanks I’m a freshman and i was getting a little worried and also ... the foot roll it’s hard but im still learning

The problem with being on time for me, is my mom is CLINICALLY late to EVERYTHING. It was so hard to be on time. I was so embarrassed.

You’ll be fine

You’ll be fine, I’ve been the “only one” for many things. It only made me stronger
Junior Year y’all!! I’m section leader and already 3/4 of the show done in AUGUST. Things are going well 😁😁

Thanks for the advice man. I’m going to be a marching band drumline freshman in August.
Good luck 💯
I’m a freshman and it’s an easy marching season so it’s nice

I’m in 8th grade and in marching band and this this I agree
Thanks for watching
I’m starting cymbals next week and I’m hella scared cause i haven’t been in band since fifth grade and I’m in ninth now

Is BCU the marching mans that was on Netflix? I am in high school marching band and I really enjoy it. I am looking forward to going to a good college marching band like FSU
BHQffa Yes BCU was the band on Netflix, and that’s good. FSU has a very good band.
I am an incoming freshman at my high School which is Western Guilford High School and I am going to be in the marching band. do you have any advice on what brass instrument I should play ? Keep up the good work and GO WILDCATS
Demarion Abram whatever horn you play the best on. Audition on multiple horns if you play them and you’ll possibly receive more scholarship money
I came bc I'm getting anxiety about marching band this did not help much. I'm more scared now
Tim Hiedecker you’ll be okay, there’s nothing to be afraid about. It’s just band...
HHhhhhhhhh I play the trombone and I'm b a d I'm scared and I know I'm not good I'm so afraid. I'm in 8th grade and we're about to enter May. It's so scary and we start summer band camp in July.

How are the BCU newbies looking? I crabbed fall 87 (WSSU)...great advice!
Kenny Rogers Appreciate it , and I’m not sure yet. They’re at freshman camp now but the upperclassmen haven’t shown up just yet

When you say “know your music” do you mean memorize it or know how to play the notes and everything else? Anyone can answer.
AbnormalTv memorized! We don’t use sheet music at the games
JabarikJay I know that my HS marching band lets us use flip folders, but thank you.
Any advice for flutes ?
Princesa Montiel same thing applies. Flutes and piccolos sit in the first row so it’s best y’all know y’all music to the T because y’all are DIRECTLY in front of the band director. You literally cannot mess up.
JabarikJay thank you but tips for memorizing music ??i Can play it I just can’t memorize it
@@princesamontiel6722 you can just keep practicing
