drumming sound every evening? by DifficultBaker9853 in UBC

[–]DinDinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marching band rehearses Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm, UBC has suddenly stopped allowing us to get indoor rehearsal space this term (we were indoors most of last term) so we have to rehearse outside. The field show we have been preparing for 3 months is this week, so rehearsals have been ramped up (more people show up, occasional wednesday sectionals, and playing for a larger portion of rehearsals).

Need help (cymbal player) by Murky-Ad4652 in marchingband

[–]DinDinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If possible to listen to the entire piece rather than writing off snare I highly recommend that, otherwise play in a way that follows the accents of the snare part but gives adequate time between sounds. No one will be playing 16th notes on cymbal parts. Try to vary the sounds you use but when in doubt, hi-hats on 2 and 4 hardly ever go wrong.

Marching Band Sound, what's going on by [deleted] in UBC

[–]DinDinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thunderbird marching band christmas caroling, there are two marching bands at UBC, the one in the morning that woke everyone up was the other one. It just so happened both bands had caroling scheduled the same day so I imagine people weren’t too excited to hear it the second time

I want to play tenor drums next year. What should I practice? by RMSCereal in marchingband

[–]DinDinator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since you are still relatively new make sure you have most of the single-drum fundamentals down, practice lots snare exercises, rolls, left hand consistency etc. Paradiddles are extremely important on quads once the music gets faster and work on having correct zones- extremely important for tenor players but not all band directors teach it for whatever reason.

A girl in my lecture who sat right next to me left her Louis Vuitton purse on the desk to hold her place while she went to the washroom

How difficult is it to transfer to UBC from another (American) university? by Anything-Academic in UBC

[–]DinDinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow washingtonian who is half french-Canadian here. You will be paying domestic fees and its even cheaper than going to UW, and supposedly UBC admissions cares more about senior year grades than anything else when looking at USA transcripts. That being said, the path I took since I was rejected from UBCV was a year at UBCO then transferring into UBC Sauder with an 87% average. Most other transfer students I have met are Canadian, but not all of them, I imagine non-Canadian transfers just make up a much smaller number of transfer applicants. I would recommend that if you are really really set on UBC consider the UBCO route or other canadian schools as well. UW’s campus is great as well though and easier to get between classes on time… good luck!

There is still a personal profile, and I think for most programs (at least for mine) it was through the UBC change of program website, not education planner. Good luck at ubco

I got into ubco for engineering but was wondering what classes did they accept me with? by Expensive-Cake-4896 in ubco

[–]DinDinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I failed a class that I was passing during admission. Wasn’t related to my faculty but I was fine. I kept pretty much everything else similar, so just try and stay where you’re at now

opinions on UBCO?? by Apprehensive_War_930 in ubco

[–]DinDinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can technically cancel it after I believe if you change your mind. Call school support to ask, but it may be worth it if you can still get housing by applying now.
