Xmas Wishes

Hey Drum Majors. Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

FU to the Establishment

I love marching bands that strive to be different. When you marched in and/or watched as many parades as I have you'll start to realized "Wow! Marching bands are really boring!" What's this band gonna play? Oh a march. What's the next band gonna play? Oh another march; and so on and so forth. Take this band from Reedly, CA. According to NCBA and SOCCBA bands may only play Association Approved marches, May NOT stop on the Parade route, etc, etc. Yeah, they're pretty strict on what you can and cannot do in competition. Then there's Reedly High School, Here's a band that say's "You know what! we don't care about your scoring or your rules! We're here to entertain the crowd! Now try and stop us!" Take a look at their performance in the 2009 Santa Cruz band review and listen to the crowd reaction.

Apologies part 2

Hey drum majors, sorry it's been a LOOOOONG time since I posted a video on youtube. I could give the same excuse of "I've been so busy" but I feel like I would just be repeating myself over and over. Anyway just some updates of what's going on. I've finally graduated college and received my Bachelors in Science. Now my options are to apply for graduate school or get a job. Except my options for graduate school are somewhat limited since my GPA isn't amazing. So I'm currently job searching. Other than that now I have more time to make more tutorials for you guys.

I've been looking at the way I've been making videos and I feel like I could do better. I'm planning to make a new series of tutorials where I would cater to all 3 forms of learning (visual, kinethetic, and auditory). I'm also planning to release a new series of Drum Major related Vlogs and Blogs for you guys. I'd like to get more involved with you guys so it feels like I'm personally giving you all lessons rather than just making reference videos.

Again sorry for dropping off of youtube and leaving you guys stranded for almost a year.
