Swimmers shave their legs to reduce friction in the water... perhaps shaving your arms would crank things up to the next warp speed. Not a band director, but I’m not getting paid, so that’s all you get. Oh.... and good morning!

Percussion educator here. 100/100 even with mistakes that you made, you never stopped playing. Also, you make my lunches better. Extra credit! 110/100.
you can go to a college class. i used to go to csu with my ex. you can't get a degree or anything, but they don't take attendance in most state schools. its hilarious. you can get a full education for free, but have no degree.

After Covid is over, you could probably contact the school administrators or a different teacher to get permission to walk into a classroom (or join an online class during covid) as a student to mess with them.
HS Music Teacher here. I assigned the "play whatever you want and submit the video" assignment too. It's the first one for the year. The purpose has nothing to do with the playing, it's about making sure the kids know how to take video and upload it. You'd be amazed how many of these media-obsessed weekend-warrior twitch streamers will come in on monday and claim that uploading a video was too complicated. Gotta start by going over the basics (click the upload button...not that hard...) EDIT: And for the record (you said to call you out if you didn't follow the instructions)...you probably didn't do this assignment correctly if you just emailed them the video. That's exactly what I don't want my students to do.
Is it still wrong if the video was uploaded to youtube, just unlisted and they sent a link of the unlisted video in the email? Thus showing the prowess of not only knowing how to edit and upload but change to unlisted?
@@RainbowDemon Depends on the class. Sometimes that's exactly what I want them to do. But attaching it to an assignment in Google Classroom is a different process, and allows for different things. If the assignment is to upload it to google classroom and you upload it to youtube...then yeah, that would be the wrong way to do the assignment.
@@RainbowDemon Haha, yeah that's probably not obvious if you haven't been in school during this whole pandemic thing. Google classroom is a digital class organization tool that pretty much every school is using. Kids log into it with their school emails, and all the assignments/instructions/resources get posted there. Then they can "turn in" assignments by uploading their work into the system. Without some kind of system like that, you'd have hundreds of students just trying to attach assignments to emails or whatever and it'd be a massive mess. Google Classroom has been around for years, some teachers (myself included) were using it long before Covid. But basically everyone is using it now because it's the best way to do any kind of distance learning.
That's the joke, high-school band students especially either don't know how to follow instructions or follow them to the point of being hardcore bootlickers, no in-between.
I would almost feel bad for the directors that let him in because they were probably hoping to get some new kid who is great at drumming and then he never replies lol.
This is like where you get to really late in the game where you have all the good gear and you're super leveled and you get bored one day and go back to the starter area and you L A Y W A S T E
This reminds me of when I wanted to join my middle school percussion, and my band director denied my request every time and even told me to do a random word, that from his terms was a drumline, in front of the class in order to join. I could not do it because I had never heard of that drumline before and he made fun of me because of it, I had taken 3 years of percussion lessons prior to asking to join... I stuck to flute for the next 5 years and in high school played percussion whenever a student was not able to cover their part.
i love how you have an actual metronome, i think we might but we never use it and the trumpets use a cowbell and a drum stick, and from what i see (i’m a baritone) percussion just uses the percussion director clicking his sticks together to keep time.
Back in high school, I was in the front ensemble but the front ensemble and the battery would do their exercises together. While we were doing scales or something like that The people on snares and bass drums were doing the accent tap but instead of the flams it was just a regular accent it would move from one to e and so on. My senior year, I decided to challenge myself and see if I could get on one of the bases. My teacher said he thinks I would do better on cannon. Before the game started we would do track marching in my first time around it was difficult but, I ended up being able to do it. I have only heard of two other people with visual impairments marching while playing a drum. I’m pretty sure there are more people doing it now but the reason I was put on front ensemble first was because it would be more easier and reasonable for me.
Thank You for your Service in the Marines. My late brother in law Tom was a Marine 3 Battalion, he served in Vietnam. Always respected him. He immigrated from Scotland and joined to later became an American citizen.
Hype for the while thing especially enjoyed skank tosses and all drums 🤣, claw, under leg flip, clean buzz rolls, and 4 mallet sticks in! ATL Drum Academy knew what was up!
I love this concept. I think next time you do this you should order a school show shirt from each school you're submitting for and wear it in the recording (or maybe have the submitting students donate one to you or something). I think that would clue in some of the band directors who were confused at what they were watching.
I'm the tenors for my highschool band and we have a cadence set called 'Kickbutt Cadences'. Because of how the guys played it I don't follow the music to the T but still basics. My drumline coach was looking at me because we added a couple little notes around the cadence
This was awesome! I am not a percussionist, but if you were doing this kind of thing while I was in HS and I was, I would have absolutely submitted this!
I haven't been in marching band in 20 years, and I was listening to this to wind down before going to sleep. Didn't realize it til near the end, but I've been tapping my hands and feet. I don't even play drums. I'm a clarinet player. But man that rythmn still makes my body move. Surprised my husband hasn't complained about me shaking the bed lol!

My brother is at Parris Island right now. He was the best drummer to come out of Andalusia, Alabama. He was drumming circles around seniors in the seventh grade. He was told by higher ups he could be in the marine band. He hates marching now; he quit in his senior year because of the director. Before he went to boot camp, he preformed for us at a party. He was controlling one stick with another! Still kicking!
Try you best to center your body on the keyboard to minimize the shuffling as you move octaves. Watch the last stoke on the tonic of the scale too, we don't need that big up stoke, okay man? You're also using a bit of arm in your stroke. It looks like you could raise your marimba up a bit, I think that might help. Keep up the good work, you definitely have a strong chance at region this year. Is there a time/day we could get together after school to work on the audition music? Just talk with your parents and get back with me tomorrow.
