NSUMusician Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I'm not sure on the field, but when I was in college we would use ten sometimes twelve in the stands. We marched with eight. Edit: We march seven tenors, twelve snares, eight basses, and a multitude of cymbals and then have about ten or so in the pit. Quote
bossman Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 naw im talkin 10 basses top to bottom in seqeuntial/pitch order. that top bass would have to be HELLA SMAll or the bottom would be HELLA BIG Quote
bossman Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 i think when my band goes to a football game there are about 10 snares, and a couple of other jv ppl Quote
Danpod Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 10 basses?? Holy heck, that's a lot! I personally haven't seen it. The most I've seen is six, used by L.D. Bell and The Madison Scouts in past years. Quote
*Dynasty* Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 10 Basses, Crossmen 1995. Only for a bit though. I believe it was the closer. Blue Devils used a lot of basses in 2001 I believe. They were turned upside down though. Quote
bossman Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 i cant remember when westfield DIDNT have six basses Quote
Keyboard_Countessa Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 You know what would be cool? 12 basses, each tuned so that in sequence they would play a full chromatic scale! Quote

Lustra.exe Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I believe Lorena hs/ms winter drumline had quite a few either last year or two years ago... I'm thinking like 8-10. It was alot. and they were good with rediculous runs, but they didn't march the whole show. Quote
bossman Posted November 30, 2006 Author Posted November 30, 2006 i thought in 04 there were six K.Nas, Janae, John M., Nathan, Travis, and somebody else... Quote
bossman Posted November 30, 2006 Author Posted November 30, 2006 anyway...continue this thread to another "has it ever been done" has there ever been 20 tubas in a performance? Quote
NSUMusician Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 My college marches twenty tubas and I'd be willing to bet Allen HS does. I haven't seen them in years, but I'd just think with a band that size they'd have twenty tubas. Quote
bossman Posted November 30, 2006 Author Posted November 30, 2006 has it ever been done...someone marched the timpani or a marimba? Quote
Skippy Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Yeah, all the time in 1970s drum corps, before the pit was invented. 2 xylophones in the center, and then a marching timpani off to the left. Quote
