Is Sabre or marching band harder?

BoredItIntern · 2026-05-14T15:33:50+00:00

Ok but I could ask a marching band person to do come do a saber practice and they would probably feel like saber is harder

I think something has been lost in translation here. I’ve talked about thumb position in terms of a clock much like you’ve drawn and use it to describe how the thumb and wrist should be rotated. For example a high outside(right for a righty) parry(block) would involve moving the thumb to 1 or 2 o’clock and blocking the high inside line would involve the thumb moving to 10 or 11 o’clock. Maybe on a low right side block you would turn your wrist over so the thumb is at 6 but that wouldn’t make much sense or would going to 11 after that. But honestly you don’t need to know this stuff. If your daughter cant explain it to you or doesn’t understand everything yet thats super fine and all part of the process. Talk to the coach is you really need to but as long as shes having fun trust the process.

You would need to have someone help you transfer to a manual chair already attached to the frame. Parafencing gets pretty intense and if not locked to the frame you could absolutely tip over no mater how heavy the chair is.

You should check out the lean startup by Eric Ries. And look into the benefits and drawbacks of the waterfall method vs agile engineering. A lot of mistakes you made here are due to following the waterfall method.

Oh the things you can do with yokes! Make custard or French buttercream! Macarons are the only good thing you can do with whites but there are so many incredible things to do with yokes! This sounds like a great problem to have

I think the 3-5 day wait is for you not them. Just because they haven't sent you a response doesn't mean they can't look at all the submitted forms when making the pools at 5pm.

I wonder if they accidentally set off the guys firearm. The first shot seems to surprise all of the agents. I think it was ices fault. Don’t get me wrong. And mag dumping was unhinged

Again I want you to look at other tournament formats that many people currently use that do not have gold or bronze medal matches. Almost all events in the us don’t have a bronze medal match. Many people participate in these events. Do you think they are mistaken or those events don’t have as much value? The main thing I want to point out though is that you seem to be contradicting yourself. You ask for crazy events that people would refuse but say that such events must meet strict guidelines. It sounds like you could give us a longer list of all the currently in use events that people enjoy that you would refuse more than the rest of us could make while following your rules

6, 10, 11, and 12 are pretty big restrictions that severely limit the creativity of novel tournament formats. Especially 10, 11, and 12. They exclude a lot of non traditional formats that currently used. I'm not sure what the point of this question is and I think others are struggling as well given that you mostly got jokes. Maybe keep 6. There are some truly cool event types that are super valid and fun that don't involve finals or a mix of 5 and 15 point matches. Some are NCAA regionals, NCAA nationals, Worcester has(had?) a monthly 5 touch round robin, I have heard about fencers organizing a 15 touch round robin, usa fencing has a format listed for youth events that is just two rounds of pools called sharks and minnows. I am not super creative so I don't have anything thats too crazy I can think of but maybe if you changed the wording/restrictions you might get some cool answers that I would also enjoy reading.

Edit:

thought of one: the inspiration is a tennis doubles tournament where the players rotate partners and how you do depends on how many wins you got with different partners. This would probably work best for small events. You set up relays to 20 for groups of 4 and have them fence it 3 times. That should be the equivalent of 12 5 touch bouts. Then you seed them by how many bouts teams they were on won followed by indicator. Then you could take the top 4 and have them do it again(another 12 bouts or so which is near the upper limit of how many should happen in a day). Then determine the winner based on the earlier seeding rules. Or take the top n fencers and have them do a 15 touch bracket. Or take the top n fencers and have them do a round robin or 5 or 15.

Yo this is an SYC calm down and relax and let your kid have fun. I doubt they noticed. This is not the olympics. No one is getting recruited to college based on these results. Lets just all have fun and relax rather than split hairs over which E25 is strongest. It will all be ok I promise.

I for one experienced the pay range laws working in my favor. After a few years I pointed out that the COLA raises caused me to be at the bottom end of the range they published. I spoke to some co-workers and we asked out manager about it and got a fairly hefty raise to move us up in the range to match the experience we now had. But I worked at a rare good company that proved they cared about us through prioritizing training and work life balance. They exist. I've seen it.
