Woodland Scottish Gathering Drum Major Competition

This weekend was the annual Sacramento Valley Scottish Games in Woodland, CA. It's a small festival but It is the BIGGEST in the nation when it comes to Drum Majoring. The best thing I love about these games is that they place alot of emphasis on the Drum Majors thanks to its organizer Angie Roddan (one of the sweetest ladies you will ever meet). This year Woodland was the host of the first ever United State Scottish Drum Major Championship, and many of the top drum majors attended; including the current World Champion DM Kathy Megarry Calvin from Northern Ireland. Needless to say this was a very difficult competition. I myself went up against a World Champion and several Former World Champions. The Winner of the overall 2 day event and the first ever 2010 US Scottish Drum Major Champion was DM Jason Paguio from San Diego, CA whom many of you may know as the first American to win the Juvenile World Champion and the Co-owner and Co-founder of the Regimental Mace Company. This was probably one of the most exciting competitions I have participated in. So until next time...band dismissed!

Apologies

Whoa! Sorry I've been neglecting all of you guys. I've just been super busy. I'm trying to finish up my last semester as an undergraduate in college and I just haven't had the time to make drum major tutorials. For sure I'll have new movies up by May or June at the latest. So until then...Band Dismissed!
