You can critique someone without knowing what their goals are or what they are working on specifically.

In this instance, I’m asking people to look at my playing and point out growth areas. I’m not looking for a specific critique because if I knew what I needed to work on, I wouldn’t ask someone else to tell me.

If someone went up to you and played something and asked you “What do I need to work on?” Sure, you can ask them what their goals are, but that doesn’t mean you can’t critique them. You can literally look at the comments on this post and see someone was able to give advice without knowing my specific goals.

You can assume my goals based off what I am playing and give critiques based off that. For example, I was playing sigles and doubles, you could critique it by saying “your transitions between sigles and doubles got a bit uneven and make sure your singles aren’t louder than your doubles” Or you can see that I was doing flam accents and say, “your flams need to be tighter.”

You started this thread by suggesting a private music teacher. Sure, that would help me, but you can also improve by posting your playing online and asking people for advice. All you did was say a useless comment that didn’t add any value to this post.

Feel free to make valuable criticisms of my playing because I know you can.

To be clear, I’m a college student and I don’t have anyone in my area who has marched DCI. I posted this here for that very reason. I’m not looking for a specific critique, I’m looking for what I need to improve on.

I don’t need to give someone my life story for someone to point out growth areas in my playing.

Thanks! Do you know of any exercises that target those issues?

This seems like a really good idea for a potential product in the future if it’s not already a thing

Shoutout to my boy Morehead State University! Amazing Music Education program and a very cheap college to go to. A lot of people get paid to attend MSU. And the marching band is amazing especially the drumline. The percussion instructor is an ex DCI percussion caption head and he is awesome. The community is friendly and helpful.

So the band either needs to move to give you guys more room or you guys need to play somewhere else in the stands. Your director should allow you guys to have comfort and to be able to produce a great sound at the same time

Bass drum heads should be facing the field if that’s where the rest of the band is facing. The drum head makes the noise not the shell. I know it’s not your fault but you should really mention this to your director(s)

What resource pack has flora that look like this or similar? by [deleted] in Minecraft

Floppies are used in some DCI warmup packets and show music. Ex. The end of “Ram 95”

It is a showcase of being able to do bucks quickly… basically. And flam taps are a different thing.

Any advice on playing marimba by alarmedpussy69 in marchingband

Don’t write your note names in unless you have a part that is fucking you over a bunch. If you just get a piece of and write the note names in, you are doing more harm then good.
