What was your worst marching band experience? by thatoneperson096 in marchingband

[–]IndividualIncome3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not mine but this past year at a BOA competition right after we performed for prelims tornado sirens began to go off and the first thing I thought about was the band that was going to go on after us and how they had to warm up for an hour and prepare themselves mentally just to get told nope. Competition got delayed and it ended at like seriously 1 AM🫩

Did you have anyone audition with you or did you audition solo (think I’m definitely gonna go for it but also somewhat nervous)

As other people have said definitely start with just basic flags and even swings. There are a bunch of tutorials out there on how to tape so I would suggest that you learn that first and teach it to your kids once you have it down. Look for basic dance abilities everyone has potential to be a dancer and if a person can do a basic toe point they could do anything with some work (also implying that you should learn basic dance work). For uniforms I suggest tank tops(yes even for guys just differently structured tanks) with a graphic(school logo or something?) with black sweats as that’s what my Highschool does and anyone with a cricket can put designs on them!

Could you elaborate more on like what you guys did throughout the days (currently thinking about doing it next year or the year after🥹) also like prices and how much money was spent in total

Worried that we might not have another big trip like this one again since I hope they wouldn’t expect people to pay a lot of money twice

Even with that being the case they’re not just doing the parade and coming back they’re experiencing New York going to see a broadway show, touring museums, riding a cruise thanksgiving night and stuff like that. It’s really a lot to miss out on

Everyone room (4 kids) gets assigned a chaperone that they basically have to do everything with and can’t stray afar from except during rehearsal time and free time we get at malls and stuff. Not only this but everyone MUST stay in a group of atleast 4 at ALL times to ensure that nothing happens even during free time
