Waterflash Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I'm in marching band! I play flute! I can be a good player when I try, but I'm a bit lazy. I really like it. I feel like I can relax, unlike with anything else. I love music! La la la la... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Levoy Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Goven Man [/i] [B]How do you letter in band? I thougt you could only letter in sports. Oh well. I am a freshman in marching band. I play the quads in the drumline. Our drumline has a mascot. It's a fish named well i can't remember. but he is a fish. [/B][/QUOTE] You letter in band if have been in the for a year. After wards for every year your in band you get a bar that goes on your letter to show how many years you've completed. The fact that your a freshman and plays the quads is very intresting. I don't say this because I don't think you can do it. I say this because freshman aren't usually put on quads because of the fact that they are hard to play and the freshman are new to this type of thing. You must be very good. :cool: Stardust do you play in a regular band or a marching band? How many times do you play Louie Louie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKC Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Our bands show is called "DNA" The opener and closer are really cool, but everyone hates the Ballad. I hate it because I have the Damn bells! If anyone has tips for playing the chimes? Please let me know them, because I sorta suck at chimes, but I have a part or 2 with them.. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Levoy Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Chimes are very easy to play because they usually are played with whole notes and half notes. Sometimes even quater notes. You will never really play any fast notes on them. Here's a tip that will help you play them. Learn how a piano is played. That will help alot considering that the chimes, xylophone, bells, vibraphone, and marimba all use the same concepts has a piano. The only difference is that they are played with sticks and they only use the treble cleff. So once you learn how a piano is played the mallot intruments will be very easy to play. One thing you should know is that sharps and flats are almost always the top bars except when dealing with B#, Db, E#, and Fb. When making any note # it is always one bar up and any not flat it is one bar down. Also it will help to know all the note names because they are always repeated on the bars. C,D,E,F,G,A,B,and back to C. When you look at a xylophone or a piano the keys are always put as bottom key, upper key, bottom key, upper key, bottom key, bottom key, upper key, bottom key, upper key, bottom key, upper key, bottom key then it repeats. Here is how the notes will be on the exact same keys as I wrote above. C, C#orDb, D, D#orEb, E, F, F#orGb, G, G#orAb, A, A#orBb, B, then back to C. If you have any questions please ask. I hope this information helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobiass Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Well Blue Devils won this year.... finally took their throne back. They took all the captions except for Drumline, which went to Cadets. Cavie's got 2nd. Vangaurd finished out of the top 4 for the first time in a LONG time. I think Phantom Regiment took em out. and While you ment to say Classmen, "Glassmen" is a known Drum Corp if you keep up with Corps, They're pretty good. This year was the first year in a LONG time they finished out of the top 10.... I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
