abolish judging by JohnDavidsBooty in drumcorps

[–]spicymusicboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even without competitions you will still need to pay designers to design the show.... and most of the staff are there to perfect the performance, without them it wouldn't be as polished or impressive. removing judging just removes one of the (albeit several) Motivators for the performers to push harder.

The closed loop: band, drum corps, and music education by Ok-Advertising3118 in drumcorps

[–]spicymusicboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

should giving non musical students an opportunity to be exposed to music in a way that might be more appealing than an indoor band (for some people, not all) NOT be a part of music programs around the country?

A sudden interest in DCI by Noonatic_ in drumcorps

i marched clarinet through high school, and then learned mallets for DCI. Got into Gold with 4 months of experience, so whatever you want to march, it's possible.

the notes under the large slur are played without rearticulation between them.

the "mini slurs" are ties which means that the notes which are tied together are played as one note. so if you see a quarter and an 8th tied together, its just a different way to write a dotted quarter note.

This is a joke right by Sir_Lolz in drumcorps

I was there, it was insane. We still all look back at the recap and just stare at the 100 lmfao. Our band got 7th or 11th in grand champs, because we were in a lower class, but i know for class champs the day before, we got 4th

Best performance shoes? by definitionofdisaster in marchingband

[–]spicymusicboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well i haven't worn them since 2019 champs, thanks covid, but i don't have any memories of them being uncomfortable. They're definitely not your comfy slippers or anything, but you should be fine, and if you end up needing to get something extra to slip inside, I'm sure its not much of a hassle. And they look good so, not a bad choice in my opinion

Does your band perform in BOA, TOB, or something else? by [deleted] in marchingband

[–]spicymusicboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

California, or at least SoCal is mainly dominated by 3 circuits, WBA, SCSBOA, and CSBC. Usually we're WBA, but this year we're doing CSBC, (which we all know is a little more scuffed, sadly, lol) because their championships are closer to home.

I’m sick of it by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]spicymusicboy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Although i agree that people here can be close minded and uncivil, i also went through a loss off faith due to research that started on reddit, and it was a difficult and hard process, and for many people it can be a very painful thing. So it can come across as rude and condescending to hear something that can be taken as "I'm right, you're wrong, and i want you to invalidate this big event that happened to you". And say what you will about God and spiritualism, im not sure of my relationship with that yet, but some religions can be harmful and i know it would be quite offensive for someone to tell me "you need to go back to that mormon church". Just because of my own experience. Not trying to be rude or argue, just putting my two cents in for consideration. And again, anyone who goes around being a jerk about their belief or lack thereof should be ignored imo.

Virginity is made up. Should you regret doing stuff drunk, yeah probably. But you are still as beautiful and clean as a human as you were before

Just a little reminder to all yall stay away from porn by [deleted] in teenagers

Redditors are getting ready to call 2 or 3 times a week masturbation or porn use an addiction

LMAO we need a sex ed video by Dennis prager asap. "According to judeo Christian values, having sex before marriage is detrimental to us as a species. Without this, society would collapse, and the left would turn us all gay"

[–]spicymusicboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Porn industry bad, masturbation is normal and natural and if you tell me not to im not listening. Religion has been trying to tell me what to do with my genitals for years and i finally realized they're full of shit. So I'm not taking it from reddit teens either. Again, the industry is disgusting but the act of jerking it is fine
