~MARCHING BAND~

I have been appointed (lol, sort of) choreographer of my marching band for this coming football season. In the past our band has had little interest in our community and I want to come back and surprise them. We have a really small school, and therefore a really small band. Next year we are going to have about 25 members. I think we could still make a good impression. Does anyone know any good websites, books, movies, etc. that could help me choreograph some awesome drills?

drum line is an awesome movie.....that should help alot....

even if it doesnt help....its still an awesome movie just to watch!!! =)

That sounds good. Maybe I could have my band watch it to get them more interested and excited. Thanks!

hey, im in marchin band for my school also, percussion, im on the drum line, YES SIR, i play drum and snare and all, Drum Line is a good movie, but it doesnt really help that much, ive watched it a couple of times, its not the best way, it can help u out a lil bit, but not really as much, as wat there gonna be showin u actually

www.vicfirth.com that site has a whole bunch of rudiments to teach and also, there should be a video lot, and if u go there, theres many Marching bands, and percussion playin, and its prettty kool

Thanks a bunch!

I'm was in the band at Grenada High School where I did flag rifle sabre clarinet bass clarinet and sax. We have marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, in Disney World, and in the Rose Bowl Parade. One thing i suggest is to create a certain thing in your drill that will become kinda of your signature part. Like we always lay down somewhere in our show.
