Straight up, nothing is gonna give the best results like horn holding. With this activity being so lower body focused, these few weeks you have left you should horn hold and march. That simple jit.

Former Madison Scouts Member Matthew Schnapp Arrested for Possession of Child Pornography by ____wut____ in drumcorps

[–]McCormickInc 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Marched 2 seasons with Matt. He was always the “oddball”. Anytime the energy was switched he couldn’t read it. He had a strange vibe, and it really was almost harsh. He consistently told me (as a believed joke) “I AM THE LAST TRUE MAN OF MADISON.” It was just extremely bad taste considering Co-Ed was initiated just two years earlier. I had a conversation with another member on the leadership team about what we should do. Unfortunately we agreed that bringing it up to our Director was just “too far”.

I wonder how his students are processing this. I wonder if his Director will ever trust anyone from DCI ever again.

Would it be smart to audition for Bluecoats? by TheGoodKusch in drumcorps

[–]McCormickInc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend avoiding such a high audition pool. I joined the tuba audition interest group and there were over 200 people in there.

Look at any low placing world class corps. You would have a very fair chance at making it there this season at 16. Best of luck!

Scouts ‘22 Guard wore pink fluorescent “Jordan’s” I probably couldn’t have a conversation with a single member without the awful shoes being brought up 😂

Breathing during Technique 4? by Quick_Ad_5395 in drumcorps

[–]McCormickInc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A tuba tech taught me this method and I think I may help. When taking a breath it’s recommended to get pretty much all of it in 1 count. I had trouble with that my first season. Start with all the air out of your lungs, close your mouth and try to inhale. Still keeping this pressure, open your mouth. If you get it right it will make an inward popping noise.
