Australian Pipe Major here. I also do drum majoring in our pipe band. Learned basic drill in the Australian army. It's great to see our drill explained from an "outsider's" point of view (I know absolutely nothing about American drill).
Everything you demonstrated & explained looks great to me.
I agree with your comments about the shoes. In Australian civilian pipe bands, dress shoes are commonly worn (for cost reasons) though ghillie brogues are preferred. The only annoying thing that stood out in your video was the tops of your socks being uneven - sorry, but I just couldn't stop seeing it.(Scottish hose & flashes with no kilt was also a bit jarring).
Great video & thumbs up from a British Commonwealth drill instructor.
I literally just started learning to drum major yesterday. This video is VERY helpful!
I also love that you're military; I've been in the Army for a little over 23 years now, so having you compare and contrast stationary movemeny/D&C made it click very quickly.... thank you!!!!!!
I like the work you are doing to promote Pipe Band drum majors in the US. You have a nice down to earth approach. Keep up the good work.
I am leaving you with a few remarks based on this tutorial. I hope you find them useful.
The drill applicable to pipe bands is British, not Scottish.
When being brought to "attention" at the start of the competition/parade etc. the first "Drum Majors!" brings the drum majors from "easy" to "at ease". The second "Drum Majors!" is the cautionary command given in anticipation of
"AtteeeenShun!"
The command should take the form of one, uninterrupted word.
The first part of the command is drawn out and the last part is clipped.
There is no pause between the two parts, for example, LeeeeftTurn, not Left.....Turn.
The drum major's hand must be on the shaft of the mace, never touching the mace head.
Half turns left and right are included in full competition.
To stabilise all your turns, particularly "about turn", squeeze your arse cheeks tightly together throughout the movement. This will also stop that shoulder wiggle you mention.
When falling out, right turn, then, march three paces, before walking away. Don't just right turn and walk away.
Pipe bands don't move to the front or rearm they "advance or retire".
i love you so much im the drum major for my school i love all your videos hope to see more keep it up ''dominic
Conteúdo maravilhoso.
Parabéns, admiro muito você.
Um abração aqui do Brasil.
Scots love your video
You should come to Billy’s workshop!

Canadian military drill derives somewhat from the British. When you are using the command "shon", would I be correct to assume you are really just using a shortening of the command "Attention"?
Correct. It comes from the phrase “Atten-Shun”. Some judges may say atten-shun or drum majors-shun. Either way “-Shun” is the command of execution
Hello
What is the best place to get maces and which is the best for beginners of Scottish bagpipes band?
Thanks
It's not just "Scottish marching".....it's British Army marching. Too bad American high school band DM's don't know about this video. Too many years of ignorance to count especially on the part of high school band directors who really don't care. Just throw a plaid brooch on a glengarry as a cap badge or wear scottish highland dress with a bearskin or HS band shako.
Can I get a free maze please I’m a subscriber
Can i have a drum major mace around 3 feet
enjoyed every minute of it, where did you find the Scottish uniform from, also where do you get a mace from and are they expensive, where did the Americans get their style of marching and drill from, is it a copy of the French, THAKS AGAIN PETE
Google "Dalman and Narborough". They make custom maces for Shaquilles and Short-Arses and everyone in between.
