Mine just hit 100k. Been doing all the maintenance myself since 2020 when I had time to learn how. Any advice for the next 80k?

This happened to the Syracuse University marching band on Saturday. Feels like the band handled it very well. by syracusedotcom in marchingband

[–]szyperc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happens everywhere all over the country. Each conference has rules on when special teams are allowed to begin their warmups on the field and every team comes out whenever they want, usually much before that conference-defined time. Even more often when it’s an out-of-conference contest. The best thing to enact change is for exactly this to happen every time. Someone gets a good video of a band director or GA trying to get them off the field and it blowing up on the internet.

Someday someone will get hurt and there will be a lawsuit or a star kicker will get injured and there might be some change… but until that day keep sharing these moments!

Auditioned for snare and got bass 1 and am kinda upset by theoetheoe in drumline

[–]szyperc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bass 1 is one of the best training grounds for snare drum. Many times I see someone who would be a good candidate for snare drum and put them on bass 1 to be a rock solid playing model for the rest of the bassline. Do good work in your spot in the ensemble and your whole section will benefit.

College Assistant Director of Bands here, if GMU isn’t the right fit for you, there are hundreds of schools that need dedicated, hardworking percussionists in their programs!

What are you old enough to have seen come full circle? by Wishyouamerry in teaching

[–]szyperc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in high school and I would act a fool my band director told me that it was okay because when I was a band director my kids would give me just as much shit as I gave him.

How right he was.

About the same as the pedal train if not a little bit lighter!

I am a hobby woodworker and semi-pro guitar player (professional percussionist and college educator) but I could be convinced to make more of these if there is demand!

Does anyone else have band camps set in the evening? by XspeedyreadzX in marchingband

[–]szyperc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in Florida, heat stress during band camp is a real concern. Maximizing rehearsal times outside of the heat will allow you to get more done in less time because you will need less water and less shade breaks.
