For '06

 

6 snares

4 tenors

5 basses

6 cymbals

Do not know about the pit.

 

Last year we had a 7-3-5. That did not work at all and the snares were somewhat dirty. In '04 we had a 5-3-5 which did work.

I don't know for sure but I think it's like we have for every year.

 

7 snares

 

3 tenors

 

5 basses

 

4 cymbals

 

13 in pit.

 

Snares,tenors, basses figures only for varsity drumline. Pit will probably change.

56 snares

 

15 cymbals

 

20 basses

 

10 tenors

 

5 marching accesory racks (lol they actually have those)

 

10 mini chime thingys

 

 

lol this isnt are real size or instruments, but think how cool that would be to have like a line of snares from the 30 to the 30 lol

 

i know there are some colleges that have larger than usual drumlines like 15 snares or something - pretty cool

Imagine cadences with that huge of a drumline.

imagine cleaning 56 snares. even if you could get 56 of the world's best snare drummers, it would be nasty. nasty as in bad. 9 or 10 is usually the max, any more is just too difficult to make it sound decent.

At last, we're utilizing all of our instruments to the point of practicality.

 

Vista Ridge D®umline '06

 

Battery: 5 Snares, 3 Tenors, 5 Basses, and 4 Cymbals.

 

The Snare Line consists of four vets and one new player.

The Tenor Line consists of me (the one vet), the best incoming freshman, and our ex-third bass player.

The Bass Line consists of three vets, one incoming freshman, and an oboe player who should have been a percussionist.

The Cymbal line... well, they didn't do much last season, (had three marching last year, but one of them broke his arm) so they may as well be a new thing.

 

Front Ensemble: 4 Marimbas, 4 Vibraphones, 1 Timpanist, and three Auxiliary.

I can provide the other end of the big drumline spectrum - my kids so far are 1 snare, 1 tenor and 1 bass. (Or no snares / two tenors / 1 bass - I haven't decided yet.)

 

And that's from a 4A school. :(

 

In our defense, we're starting a band program up again after the previous one crashed and burned in the last couple of years - they went from 130 in the band in 2003 to 7 in the band in '05.

 

Hopefully, we'll get at least a couple of freshmen that I didn't know about, and we can field 2-1-2 or something similar.

as of right now:

 

7 snares

3 tenors

5 basses

 

dont know about cymbals/pit

Alright, so I was foolish to give the numbers so early.

 

Updated:

 

7 Snares (although our instructor is planning on cutting it to 5)

0 Tenors

5 Basses

 

And I still have no info on cymbals/pit.

 

But if Spring bassline trends continue as they have the past 2 years, we'll have 4 at the end of the season.

Hey! springbassliner26

 

Why does your instructor wants to narrow it down to 5 from 7?
