Blue Stars Brass: Strength and Conditioning for Volume and Impact

The Blue Stars Brass proudly present the first in a video series, entitled "A Drum Corps Toolkit," demonstrating practical exercises and concepts that you can apply to your own marching programs. This first video discusses strength and conditioning, and how we use breathing tubes to develop breath control for volume and impact.
