bossman Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 The fastest i've ever had to march (in a real show) was about 205-210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serardian Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 In a show, like 190. We've done 215 in basics block. Ouch. It's really hard to keep good technique when you're marching so fast. That's why I respect SFA so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xukaniz Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Basics block...heck at the speed of light.... In a show probably about 180. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel_pablo Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 During fundamentals, they've put it up to 220 before. In 2004, we marched our 3rd movement at 204. In 2005, it was 196, and this year our opener was at 184. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrih13 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I remember last year during the part 3 last year when we rushed we would be at like 215, thats what Hall said one day...during the show. During the fundmental block, we march God knows how many times across the field (from end zone to end zone..no like, in lines going every 8) at 200+...and the straight leg...OUCH !!! I hate it. Last year he decided to experiment with us going over 220...CRAZY man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy08 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Wow. I've never had to march over like 180 in drill. But I know a couple of years before me they marched to the flight of the bumblebee...yikes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 we did our second movement at 110, double time last year...lol was intense - there were minimal holds. (like 2 four count holds) this year, our closer is only at 165, so that was a piece of cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2005, it was 196, and this year our opener was at 184. hahaha... or at least that's what it says at the top of the music... we ended up at like 210 both times... just not on purpose. i can still remember hall coming up to us with a met clicking at 216 and going "chill out guys" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
