I think I'll do this with my contra section next year, we're loosing a really awesome senior next year and I never wanna the sentence "Well, if he was here..."
I have never underestimated the power of a woman. I marched in two different drum corps in upstate New York in the late 60’s and early 70’s. We had an all girl corps about forty miles to the east. They had more members than anybody, and played all the same instruments as all the mixed corps did. And they consistently did very well in competition! Best wishes!
There isn't a marching tuba in existence that weighs 30 lbs. Some older Conn Jumbo sousaphones do but they haven't been around for 50 years. You won't find a marching tuba over 24 pounds. They'd be too front-heavy to play. The largest horn still in production is the Conn 20K sousaphone at 28-29 pounds, and they are only that heavy because the bells are 26 inches.
I was the only tuba player in my section for 3 years then i was the only girl tuba player for a year seeing this video i was only encouraged i will stat working harder. for the only girl in the section i have this to say, "Work hard. Don't give up . You are my inspiration. YOU GO GIRL!!!"
real contrabasses are G bugles... these are shoulder tubas.... doesn't mean these kids are any less impressive. just saying this title has some misnomer going.
Whoooo another contra girl!!!!! I am a freshman girl who is 14 in a section with 4 other guys, 3 juniors, and 1 senior. We would never exercise like this. Lol we are lazy. Also tomorrow I have to try out for junior clinic. Yeah I love seeing girl contras.
hm...you just gave me a good idea for when I'm tuba section leader for my high school's band. We march contras and i've always wanted us to look like DCI caliber
I'm not totally sure why, but it seems like there only 1 world class corps thats all guys, and they havent been the best. And I don't know about you, but sometimes being in one giant sausage fest for the whole summer doesn't sound like the greatest thing ever. Just sayin.
gender has nothing to do with skill in a drum corps. look at the placing and scores for the madison scouts and cavaliers. yes, cavaliers have had their winning streak, but think of the drum corps that are consistently at the top every year (Bluedevils, Bluecoats, crown, cadets, scv). These all have some very fantastic female players.

this year I was able to audition for contra for a drum corps. I am the only girl so I relate a whole lot to this

Yamaha's are lighter than Jupiters... for sure...
@slipking2 I've heard those exact words too many times.
@nosrunnerxd theyre yamaha, but i have no idea what they weigh
Other than the dude leading, the chick was on point.
Curious, did she march all the way through the season?
Yup plus two more years.
Girl tuba players for the win!!!
There is one more girl in the contra section who for some reason isn't in this video

They're doing the pushups and crunches too fast
oh how i wish my section were like this

How much do contras weigh?
15 pounds i think
+Mr_Beezlebub jupiter quantums weigh 36
+Spone Hollow 36 pounds is being generous
usually around 25 to 30 pounds. Jupiters weigh about 36.
Quantums weigh 23 pounds, not 36.
get 'em lloyd
Their mouths are so clean
I mean, not to be weird but she's a keeper. Ladyfriend contra players = yes.
@euphmx I thought cadets marched king
WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! I want to be apart of that!!!! :D WAAAAA SOOO WICKED!!! :D
Naaa that sucked do it again...YES!
RUBEN! WHAT UP YO!
@PGauding09 are you serious?

"No that sucked do it again"
how much do those weigh?
21-22 lbs
Shit got real.
This country allows girls to march contra?
No one can do push ups anymore..

there are two all guy corps
Facts!
Lol the end of the video
you're about 20 pounds off my friend :) Those are Yamahas.
Worst thing ever to hear in Corp. or marching band....do it again.
Not bad, now give em Kanstuls or Jupiters and watch them cringe.
Ppl can tell its not one of the better Drum corps, because its not all guys. To me the all guy ones are the BETTER ones

This comment hasn't aged well.
Damn Blue Devils and literally any corps except Cavies and Scouts must suck.
how's it feel with Madison going co-ed? ;)
@euphmmx I thought cadets marched king
