buttered-fly-toast asked:
Are there any recommended work-outs for an incoming marching baritone player for Vanguard? I just got a memo about an open baritone spot and I am preparing for the possible summer I will have.

I would suggest a combination of upper body strength (i.e. Push ups, switch it up with outside and inside push ups and diamonds) and a lot of cardio (i.e. running, tabata intervals) to help with your stamina.

” Drum Corps International: These are not bands, but corps. The gods above all marching bands, the elite groups seeking ultimate perfection. Many high school bands draw inspiration from these deities.
The most hallowed drum corps performance ever was performed by The Cavaliers in their sacred “Frameworks” show of 2002, which was only .85 away from perfection.
Some say that when a corps finally reaches a perfect score of 100, cancer will be cured.”

Woah!

The DCI World Championships are being broadcasted to millions on NBC! WAIT WTF! What are the Giants and Patriots doing on the field?! THERE’S A LOMBARDI TROPHY PAINTED ON THE FIELD! ASDFGHSFAFS

If you haven’t heard by now…

I’m marching SCVC this summer. I just got a spot in the cymbal line this past weekend. I’m really excited for the season. It’s my rookie year in DCI and the first time I have to deal with corps fees -____- so I need your guys’s help! Even if none of you guys can make a donation, I would love it if all of you shared my Helpmemarch.org profile with someone you think can help me out. Any help is great help so thanks in advance.
