TX Suh-nare Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 60-70?! What are you marching? The biggest I've seen are the 40-45lb Pearls! Those are some heavy tenors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironriot Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 So nobody would try a baitone eh. They're not that bad. But yeah euphoniums are heck. Try this on for size: A Kanstul Marching Euphonium(about the biggest they come), 3-a-day practices, 100-110 degrees average outside, 90% humidity(this is what sucks not the heat), and strict rules and directors. Ahh pure south texas marching glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX Suh-nare Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 That would suck with homeboy's 60lb tenor set. I can only imagine... Thank Heaven my drum's only 15 pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRtrumpet Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 were gonna finaly start learning the show today. I have a feeling its gonna suck realy bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX Suh-nare Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Don't worry. It will get clean soon. Beginner's luck never hits band rehersals, because if it did I would never overshoot my set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sockercon Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 you march 7th graders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlinK Day 41 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I know of some schools that do. My school doesn't but i think it'd be a good idea because the freshmen come in with no idea how to march correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I know of some schools that do. My school doesn't but i think it'd be a good idea because the freshmen come in with no idea how to march correctly But they come in with 3 years musical experience, assuming you start band in 6th grade, and 7th graders come in with 1 year.

ClaireAnnette07 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 i love watching clarinets start to get tired because their thumb hurts from holding up the clarinet, please, go switch places with any bellfront instrument, you will know what pain is Hey hey now..be nice! I know you guys go through more pain than we do, but you also have to imagine holding about..iono, 5 pounds (I've never weighed my instrument..) on one solitary thumb? It actually makes your wrist hurt if you play long enough (*shudders and thinks about concert band sectionals*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRtrumpet Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 you march 7th graders? yup. I think its pretty cool kus by the time there freshman there already exerienced marchers. But there so incredibly immature its unreal sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlinK Day 41 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 lol yea clarinets aren't five pounds, and i march the bass and all that weight gets to go on our thumb we don't complain (we don't like neckstraps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX Suh-nare Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I know of some schools that do. My school doesn't but i think it'd be a good idea because the freshmen come in with no idea how to march correctly Not too sure about that, pal. I know our tenor section leader marches horribly! We try to march straight legged and he's over there falling on his heels with his legs almost 60 degrees. Our tenor tech qouted, "Man, Cavies would LOVE you!"

MartinHorn Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 No upperclassmen seemed to be walking around and wincing at every step... What you don't know is that after freshman year they send to a lab and transform us in to Marching Machines. We have great ankle flex perfect shoulders and never get sunburned. Oh yeah and we don't feel pain. Or have emotions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
