Salesmonkey Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Yup. Only problem is when the paint pens fade out...by which time you should already know your spot. They are just for reference weget yelled out for looking at the ground while learning sets. And to make sure people dont use teh dots to find their spots while marching we sometimes will play to the other sideline so the dots are completely wrong. Quote

Send a few obsessive, dedicated leaders out armed with black spray paint to spray over all the dots. The chalk totally washes away in the rain, but this new 4-step spacing in one color and 2-step spacing in another color has totally done away with the need for either. It's all in the head, now.

Salesmonkey Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 We have Quarter Masters to paint over the dots, in fact they do almost all labor involved in the band. They are people who like to help and get leadership for transcript/NHS applications and/or people who failed and dont get to march so they are forced to move stuff around. Quote

I like it better without chalk. makes everyone watch the drum majors more and not use oil spots on the parking lot as gaks. Quote
gavinrh Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 what? you're not supposed to use the oil marks? j/k, j/k Quote
n3rdu5 Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 whitewing09 said: doesnt marking indvidual sets get confusing after a while Not really....the way we do it is, basically, everyones set looks like this: where the letter/number in the top left corner is your marching number and the bottom right corner is the set number. and its not like HUGE or anything....the marking is really supposed to be pretty small, basically so that when your feet are over it you cant really see it. works wonderfully Quote
Nancy08 Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 my freshman year our school was being remodeled so we had band camp at our middle school on a grass field. We used those little tee thingys to mark the sets... It didn't work too well cause youd step on them and jam them into the ground or break them. Then when we went back to the high school we had no reference for the first charts... Quote
