First show is on Friday, and since the football players haven’t *given us the field to practice on yet* , it’s the first time we’re marching on grass. First time for me to ever march because I’m a freshman, but I’m so excited! Us baritones have a very fun feature a little over halfway into Part 1, so I just hope I don’t mess it up. I think the bodywork is what’s screwing me up there because it doesn’t exactly go with our part. I’ll ask my section leaders to go over that with us one more time before we perform. Another thing I need to work on: keeping my horn up! Y’all, baritone is *so* heavy. My arms keep dropping around the end of our piece and it’s sad. My weak nerd arms are just getting used to this, but barely. I need to do some strength training. Next year I wanna march euph so I need to work on holding up even move weight for that. At least I have really good tone. Pretty proud of my tone. Anyway, I don’t know why I typed all of this out, idk if anyone cares, but whatever. I like reading things like this in the comments of random videos, so I’m gonna leave one here for someone else to read. Go practice!
Don't worry, I read it for ya. I can relate. As a freshman last year, I had trouble holding up my horn (I play French horn bty). All I can say is do your best. You can't really do anything as a freshman. Your body just has to get used to it, and it will. It will get much easier next year. I was surprised by how ez I could march this year. Hope you have fun with your game tho! Have a great day bro!
OH MY G O S H THAT'S HOW MY BAND IS TOO!! We have to practice on the baseball field (which we had to paint ourselves lol) and we never get to use the football field bc football is too important to be bothered for band kids (UGH), and our first performance is on the 24th for our hoco game. I'm a junior and I march flute, so i don't have trouble with marching (anymoRe LOL), but i'm rly worried bc our band rly sucks and i'm afraid it's not gonna go very swell... but anyways, GOOD LUCK BESTIE, I BELIEVE IN YOU!!! YOU'RE GONNA DO SOOOO FREAKING GREAT AND IT'S GONNA BE SUCH AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!! I JUST *KNOW* YOU'LL LOVE IT!!! REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN TOO, TRY NOT TO STRESS TOO MUCH!!! :)!!
@@caseysalinas39 Have fun with your show! and thanks, it’s gonna be awesome. 2 hours to go; I’m so excited! I finally got that body work down, too, so it’s gonna be a breeze hopefully. And when we exit the field, I’m leading the band off because I’m at the tip of our formation! Freaking out but soooo excited!
@@lottapitchy9625 Thanks bestieee, i have no doubt that I'll have tons of fun! i'm so sorry i just saw this, but i am soooooo happy for you!!!! and also good luck with comp. season!! :)
We’ve already had 2 football games, but we have our first competition in less than two weeks and we haven’t even started learning part 3 of the show update: so it turns out we’re not doing part 3 at the competition, which isn’t a big deal because it’s just a small local competition. However, we do have a big state competition in less than 3 weeks and we need to learn part 3 before then
@@bigboicleetus1237 it’s a marching band cover of “as the world caves in” by matt maltese! the song itself is beautiful but this version is so lovely!!
our first halftime show is this friday! it’s gonna be my first time marching a halftime show or in general cause this is my first year marching. i’m super excited!!! update: i recently got home and i had and amazing time!!!! it was so fun. and when everyone started cheering it was amazing. best way to spend my birthday!!!!
I’ve had my first football game last friday! I’m a freshman and it was all new to me. But we won the game and it was fun. The only negative was our band being told off by someones mom on the other team for being “too slow” during halftime while we waited for people to get off the field.
That was last Friday for me! I know u r gonna have fun. And last Friday was the band's FIRST AWAY GAME IN 2 YEARS! (My first away game ever) Hope you have just as good a time as I did!
Same we woren our bibers and shakos last week and the week before we wore our bibers and this week we get to were full uniform and this game is going to be a big game for us and the school we are going against because both of our teams are really big and that both of our schools are a really good football team and our schools (I think) are rivals kind of. And it will be interesting because our team has not lost a game yet and our last game last week and the week before we won 60 (last week) and 63 or 62 (the week before) to 0. And it will be fun and last week we performed our full halftime for the first time since we finished getting all of our sets. And the week before last week we did a fake pre game and fake halftime since he didnt want us to spoil our last song. And our show is called friday night drive. Our songs are dont stop believin, crazy train, a song by Aerosmith (dont remember song name), and livin on a prayer by bon jovi. And i am a rockie and I play the clarinet and honestly in my band the clarinet section is pretty much the highest section and the weirdest/craziest section and we get down when it comes to stand dances which really clarinet and flute are the only ones who really actually do the stand dances and before a game all of us clarinets (except for 3 of them who are like the really talkative people and they talk the whole time and they are a little rude and even when there is a player down/hurt we have to sit down and be quite you know and they will talk and we are like having to tell them to be quite and like they are the ones you kind of have to separate but our section leader (who is also the woodwind captain) hasn't done it because you know they want you to socialize and like talk but there ar times you dont need to be talking yet they will be but it is what it is
Hellllloooooo fellow alternate 8th graders with a permanent marching spot!!!! P.S. we aren’t a small band there’s 188 of us just some sections are bigger than others and sometimes we need more of a certain instrument so we have alternates and shadows for when a person is sick
4:29, as a fellow alto sax player. i can explain. the pads on our instrument gather our spit and make them sticky. so we have to use paper or something to get the spit off and make the pads not as sticky, but normal copy paper has a small amount of acid in it which will destroy the pad over time. seeing as money has less acids in it. we put the dollar under our key, press the key down, and pull the dollar out gently, and get all the spit off of our pads, and make our instrument easier to play :D
I've always been taught to use rolling papers for that. If you can't get rolling papers for some reason, It's likely there at least a few stoners in your band.
ok so with the dollar bill…. i play bari sax right, and so um one of the other bari’s may or may not have a dollar bill and a jamba juice receipt in his keys because of ✨air leaks✨ and our bari’s are constantly broken😂
4:28 As a flute player in an easily answer this. It's to make the keys stop sticking to each other. You put the bill between the keys and scrape all the dirty off the the dollar and onto the keys which somehow makes them stop sticking. Tho mine just kept sticking because I refused to change the pads for 3 years straight and then the one time I did, the people cleaned it too well and now there's no seal on my head joint.
it’s a little late, but i had a really good season. as a freshman, it was really awesome to go from barely being able to not bend my knees while i march to marching a whole show. i also really hit the jackpot with this one, because last year our show sucked. i loved being part of an awesome mello line (our ballad was scrumdidllyumtious) for anyone interested, our show is called “Shimmer”
right. so was anyone else forced into doing band in 6th grade but now ur about to be a freshman and ur first band camp is today and you are so excited. because im so excited. like. frl. ahhh
My first football game is on Friday and u can’t wait! We might need to do a stand still performance because we haven’t had a chance to use the field since band camp (We practiced for the Labor Day parade in the first week of school and this week it was raining) so I’ve got my fingers crossed that we can practice before the game and get the sets down before hand!
We have to go to a high school in October and I’m actually super nervous and we have less than a month to practice and sound good 😔(I’m in a middle school band)
14:30 Can’t blame them. I’m a baritone player and it’s hard to play standing up. And while marching, jeez, it’s practically impossible. Unlike the sousaphone, we don’t have anything supporting the baritone aside from our left hand
ohh man the nostalgia, we made a historic season last year by making it to state for the first time :D we're going back into marching band in a few weeks so im really excited to do it again
At 10:33, have you bot met my schools clarinet section. Cause we got best section out of the marching because we had the best spirit during football games like we would hype up the band before home games and always danced the most out of all the sections and were the craziest
**Cries in Hurricane Ida made everyone have to evacuate and now barely no one has power and water so no school which means no band or football games and we already missed two games 😭 i swear I’m so sad without band and being able to see my friends**
A flute player in my band forgot her flute when we went to state. We were hours away from our school by the time she realized, but thankfully another band let us borrow one of their flutes.
Being a trumpet player for 4 years and watching this made my whole day XD at the end of the video if we danced like that during band my teacher would just dance with us lmfao
this year was one of my best marching seasons just because of the fact that everyone was so kind to eachother and the flutes got especially close this time around so now i'm sad it's over i'm rewatching this bc i'm sad
Our first football game was cancelled. Our first competition, PCI, which is in 2 weeks, was just cancelled. I can't wait for our first real performance in my last year.
I have my first shows in concert band and jazz band in less than a month and I am so excited. I never did a concert due to COVID so I’m really looking forward to it.
Odd question for you. Does your school wait until marching season is over to start jazz band? It always bothered me that my school did that. It just seems like we could have used that extra quarter of a year to be better at jazz festivals, and overall improvement.
Really excited for my first show. Going into 7th (yeah my band accepts that early), and we have a good show this year. It's likely that, after decades, we might win the NYS Field Band Championships in the national class.
6:17 I'm a guard member and we were doing prep game and a band member passed out in front of me kinda, they were kinda conscious so I asked them hey let me get take your jacket and hat off and they told me no.....
19:00 heres mine: in 8th grade, i had decided that art isnt for me, so i became bored with the constant cycle of it. Eventually, our teacher was out for the day and we had to separate into other classes, and i had been invited to watch the band. I was ASTOUNDED by what they could do and i was super impressed wirh these other 14 year olds doing what they could. Now, i was originally scared away from band since my sister didnt have a good time while in the program since the director at the time was kinda rude. So, while i was considering how she wouldve felt (it wasnt postive, she still doesn't like that im still involved). I went up to my parents to ask if i could joincand they said yes! And the next day i had gone up to him to tell him that i could (cuz he asked previously) and he was excited! I decided to join percussion since my dear friends were there. I had a hard time learning and adjusting but now im a sophomore, in my second year of marching band, hoping i could continue on during college ❤ i still have a long way to go but im excited for this path :)
I sort of just finished my first year in marching band, and our band had 1 baritone. Also only one trombone. Yes I had a section of two. Also the woodwinds were like 4 times larger than the brass. Not even joking, the brass had about 11 in total I think
We just had our first competition yesterday. It was a bit of a rollercoaster because the announcer left an entire ten points off our score during awards!
In my country we don't have all kinds of different clubs that are organized by our school etc (unfortunately) so I'm just part of the music organization in my town. But I can still relate to a lot of these tiktoks. And they're hilarious lmfao (I play french horn btw)
4:49 we were going to get to play this song this year, but some mf-ing parent snitched to the band director's that this song was "inappropriate", despite the fact that we play songs like Uma Thurman, so now, we can't play it anymore.
I have a question for all Upperclassmen (Junior/Senior) marching band members. Do you guys ever like choose 1 or 2 favorite rookies orrr?? I am asking this question for no particular reason whatsoever.
also holy cow i did not realize so many other bands were learning industry baby sjsj our band learned it too and played it during halftime last game .D!

i had my first ever halftime show on September 3rd!! It was so fun!
I got a happy surprise this morning :D
I’m so excited for our fist away game and I heard the band bus was loud so super excited for that
a tuba in my band practices so much he doesnt need to bring the music to class he remebers it all by heart we are in sixth grade .
Our first show was last Thursday it was so nerve-racking.
We had our first show today. It was our first home game and we won 48-20. Half of our band is quarantined, but we still sounded pretty good
Our first marching show was last Friday, it was a blast! Can’t wait for the rest of the season!

Not everyone being able to switch notes so easily, as a trombone I’m jealous
I marched at a parade today and the 8th grade (my grade) is going to meet with the high school marching band on the 17 of this month. I'm so excited!
16:08 sounds like a bunch of in tune trumpets music to my ears.
The bit from Downside Up at 11:10 made this monstrosity that much better
Glad to have you back! 😁

Jokes on you I'm already 2 shows in the season
it’s a little late, but i had a really good season. as a freshman, it was really awesome to go from barely being able to not bend my knees while i march to marching a whole show. i also really hit the jackpot with this one, because last year our show sucked. i loved being part of an awesome mello line (our ballad was scrumdidllyumtious) for anyone interested, our show is called “Shimmer”
16:40 I can’t imagine our band playing that, it doesn’t have enough clarinet squeaks, trumpet splats, and general wrong notes!
the clarinet squeaks TT
what do yalls clarinets have to play?? in our orchestra we literally only get to play like these long notes noody wants TT
Not my first my first was 3 weeks ago and today was our third and we got the highest score in our school history and came second in our comp
Sup, piccolo players here, the sight reading thing is honestly calling us out so much istg, gives us horrible flashbacks to the fight song
right. so was anyone else forced into doing band in 6th grade but now ur about to be a freshman and ur first band camp is today and you are so excited. because im so excited. like. frl. ahhh
I just practice my xylo part for marching band and long tones and scales on clarinet
First performance is Tuesday 9/28. My first performance too, i'm super stoked, i play flute!

My first competition was 22 days ago and it was awesome!
4:38 If a button/key is stuck, you pull a dollar through it gently(this may be wrong since i havent seen my director do this in months)
4:35 As a clarinet player, I know exactly what that’s for. I have used it many, many times
As a clarinet player, as far as I know it would be a reed.

I just had my first competition last Saturday at the Bradley Classic and… we won our division and overall so it was great

19:00 heres mine:
in 8th grade, i had decided that art isnt for me, so i became bored with the constant cycle of it. Eventually, our teacher was out for the day and we had to separate into other classes, and i had been invited to watch the band. I was ASTOUNDED by what they could do and i was super impressed wirh these other 14 year olds doing what they could. Now, i was originally scared away from band since my sister didnt have a good time while in the program since the director at the time was kinda rude. So, while i was considering how she wouldve felt (it wasnt postive, she still doesn't like that im still involved). I went up to my parents to ask if i could joincand they said yes! And the next day i had gone up to him to tell him that i could (cuz he asked previously) and he was excited! I decided to join percussion since my dear friends were there. I had a hard time learning and adjusting but now im a sophomore, in my second year of marching band, hoping i could continue on during college ❤ i still have a long way to go but im excited for this path :)
6:40 thats exactly how our routine for dancing queen is 🥲
20:46 why is this such calming music?
20:18 as a clarinet, I can confirm I do dance like that. They only time I will dance any other way is if I have to do it for a play.
I sort of just finished my first year in marching band, and our band had 1 baritone. Also only one trombone. Yes I had a section of two. Also the woodwinds were like 4 times larger than the brass. Not even joking, the brass had about 11 in total I think
The TikTok at 4:14 is my fave so far because no one else in my band plays the same instrument but my i play the only bass clarinet in the band
We just had our first competition yesterday. It was a bit of a rollercoaster because the announcer left an entire ten points off our score during awards!
In my country we don't have all kinds of different clubs that are organized by our school etc (unfortunately) so I'm just part of the music organization in my town. But I can still relate to a lot of these tiktoks. And they're hilarious lmfao
(I play french horn btw)
4:49 we were going to get to play this song this year, but some mf-ing parent snitched to the band director's that this song was "inappropriate", despite the fact that we play songs like Uma Thurman, so now, we can't play it anymore.
I love how you included the color guard
I have a question for all Upperclassmen (Junior/Senior) marching band members. Do you guys ever like choose 1 or 2 favorite rookies orrr?? I am asking this question for no particular reason whatsoever.
