LD Bell March and Play?

[Realist]

Why doesn't L.D. Bell play and march at the same time? I've watched their video from state and they just don't do it. Timing from the video they played and marched at the same time for 2:30 of their 7:30 show when you don't count the preshow.

LAWL SAUCE

Don't believe me? Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBLp_Lhw3-4 and dispute my timings.

 

Preshow

0:00 - 0:35 = 0:35

0:56 - 1:06 = 0:10

Real show

1:50 - 1:54 = 0:04

2:52 - 3:50 = 0:58

5:17 - 5:20 = 0:03

5:56 - 6:22 = 0:26

7:58 - 8:40 = 0:42

8:45 - 9:01 = 0:16

 

Total = 2:29

Total + Preshow = 3:43

Someone has way too much time on their hands.

 

They don't march and play at the same time because the staff knows that it makes you angry so they deliberately design the show that way.

Sweet! It would be cool if you did this for all the top shows I think it'd be kind of a cool thing to stack them up for fun.

You seriously took the time to do this?

Well, it seems as though Bell isn't too far behind the rest of the pack. With times only differing by about 20 to 30 seconds in most cases, I don't really see an argument. To be quite honest, I never did. Their shows have always contained enough simultaneous responsibility to show that they can do it very well and when they're only one thing at a time, they do it almost flawlessly. I think that's very respectable.

[bluebellbrass07]

How about some Marcus shows? Or maybe some shows from the early part of this decade. And why don't you check out Bell 2000 while you're at it

You are so demanding.

[bluebellbrass07]

sorry...its not like I'm ever going to take the time to this. I figure if someone else is going to I'd get some answers!

[Danpod]

The numbers make my head hurt.

*pats head* It's okay. No need to over strain yourself. Stick to something easier next time.

[whitewing09]

Why would you even care how time a band marches and plays at the same timelol jeez

[BassoonPadwan]

Can you pretty please do Akins 2006/7/8? That'd make me happier than a fat kid in a candy store.

I'm really just trying to prove a point by telling him to look up certain shows.

 

It really doesn't matter, if the show is entertaining, I'll probably like it. If its not, I probably wont

hehe called it

 

Are these numbers only for when the whole band is moving or when a section is moving and playing?

[JustAddWat3r]

what is your definition of "marching and playing"?

 

what if only half the band is playing but the entire band is marching?

or vice versa?

 

or is it only when the entire band is playing and marching at the same time?

I believe it says total march and play time but my English may be fooling me.

Hey you don't need to give excuses. lol jk

 

At first I thought it was kind of retarded but with further thought I think this is pretty interesting. At least to me....

 

 

 

Let's face it. It IS harder to march and play at the same time. It's gets increasingly more challenging with harder drill and music but you knew that. It's another thing for the marching band fanatic to analyze.

 

 

 

Keep 'em coming man these rock!
