Any one march?

telecaster90 · 05-22-2007, 11:33 AM

I know the first thing most people associate drums with is being in a band or stuff, but some of my most fun times playing drums and percussion have been on a drumline.

Anyone else on a drumline? I'm playing tenors next season after a few years of playing bass drum.

I'm not in a drumline or anything but i think they RULE so props to you.

I've watched many drum corp competitions since my uncle was a drum instructor. It's quite something seeing this live in all its "power".

Drum corps are amazing. Me and some friends of mine have been thinkin of maybe trying out for one after we graduate. Those guys have some serious chops.

I marched with a trombone.
My freshman year of high school the drumline was fucking amazing.
but then as the people started graduating, they were replaced by shittier people, and last year they fucking sucked.

I was in drumline, and later instructed that same line.

I played trumpet in marching band during high school it was kinda cool. Drum and Bugle corps is cool as hell though. I'd love to go to a competition some time.

drum corp dudes are bad mofos

Trumpet for two years in middle school... I think we were one of the few middle schools that had a marching band. It was pretty cool. Back then I still had all my brain cells and could remember my parts.

I played tenors in high school, made callbacks for Corps, didn't have the money, now instruct the tenor line at my old high school (Occasionally). But my passion will always be guitar...

I've lost a lot of chops in the almost 5 years since I've been out of HS, so I really don't even consider myself a drummer anymore. Corps guys are wicked, but really stuck up most of the time. In a way, they deserve to be, but they don't need to be. It's the mallet players that you need to watch out for. Almost every mallet player I was around could play circles around any guy(or girl) on the battery. It's kinda nice to see some fellow marchers here.

I miss marching SO much... I played Cymbals, then 4th Bass, and then Quints for two years.
