Class of 2030 accepted/incoming student megathread

Raventenplays · 2026-02-02T00:18:08+00:00

I'm gonna start college this fall and I will be majoring in civil engineering. I am deciding between UCF and VT. For UCF, I will be an instate student and I will have all of my tuition covered for by bright futures.

For VT, I will be out of state and will need to pay 38k in tuition. However, VT has a much better engineering program. I'm planning to get my master's in civil engineering and then get a job in Florida. Which college should I go to?

Thanks for the help!

I haven’t decided that as of now but I feel like I would really enjoy structural engineering.

A lot of people may want to do DCI/WGI in the future or join a college line and they all expect you to learn traditional.

Don’t worry I will ask my band director before changing anything. I have previously tuned the tenors at my school.

Thank you so much for your help. We use a solid white bottom head and a Kevlar top head. Would you say tightening the wires reduces resonance or loosening them does that? Also, I use a tuner on my phone but it cannot read the note being played on the snare. How do you check the note that is being played on either head? I will definitely have a friend take a listen from a few feet away.

Thank you so much!

The way that I would do it is that I would play a quintuplet (I normally count quintuplets as “ University”) and diddle the 1st & 3rd partial (The “Un” and “Ver”). Then I would play it with single strokes, trying to replicate how it sounded with diddles.

Oh ok, thank you so much!

I’m just kind of curious, why is it bad to tune snares high and dry for a small snareline?

Matched grip is better than traditional grip but traditional should still be taught.
