I am wondering with all of the thoughts from many of you - What constitutes the following:
Hard vs Easy Drills
Clean vs. Non Clean Drills
When I have watched both Bell and Marcus videos from State, it seems that they have dissimilar styles but definitely have very hard drills.
Watched Marcus practice many times and many of them are marching backwards/sideways, facing forward and playing at the same time and hitting marks being very difficult.
I have also watched them change tempo during a song and changing their size of steps while marching directions changing constantly and playing.
On the other hand, I have noticed watching their drills and you can always after watching several times find mistakes in the drill.
I have always been extremely supportive of all bands in Texas and the kids are all winners - yes, someone has to judge and someone has to determine who is the top bands. At the end of the day, they are all winners and no opinion on this board should ever change that.
Just seen many comments about their drills being easy while their music is what won it for them.
