    A little late to the party but in 2018 me and a friend played a snare tenor duet for solo and ensemble. After the piece we were berated by the judges for playing marching instruments. Maybe 30 seconds was feedback on our playing and the rest was getting trashed for the instruments we chose to play that day lol. But great performance from you, good video.

      Bro I’m so sorry I honestly don’t remember. I remember downloading it and tossing it in GarageBand to get it to a slightly slower tempo but I don’t remember what the piece was called or where I downloaded it from. It was Shostakovich something in C Minor. Hope this helps!

    • @iangillies711
      @iangillies711 Před 3 lety

      I was nervous at first lol. This piece really pushed my limits in chops, endurance, and rhythmic capability, which I guess is the point of the piece lol. But you’re right! Music is 90-95% a mental game

      Not in 2019, no, but I’m trying again for the 2020 season. I’m actually going to the weekend camp in Houston on the 20th, so I’ll get to see a bunch of friends I haven’t seen since January.

    • @iangillies711
      @iangillies711 Před 4 lety

      Fluanito Lo-Fi yeah man. Basically you show up, check in, and then you drum a little bit the first day. If it’s the same as last year, all the snare auditionees will be in the same room together, and they’re listening for how you play with others and watching for technique. My high school marches matched so my traditional wasn’t that good, which is one of the main reasons I got cut last year. There’s an individual portion of the audition where you’ll take your drum outside and play for the caption head. Then on day 3 they’ll group people into cuts and callbacks, and then at the later camps they’ll start offering contracts. Hope this helped

      @@iangillies711 thanks that helped alot! Im also sadly coming from a school that plays matched as well. My traditional is ok but only good enough to play bucks around 180. So I'm assuming you only played the warmups with the rest of the line? And how many people did show up for snare auditions?

    • @iangillies711
      @iangillies711 Před 4 lety

      Fluanito Lo-Fi we played mostly warmups and then the caption head provided a piece for a test of sight reading as well, and it was probably about the same level of difficulty as the warmups. At the camp I went to last year, there were about 30 snares there, but I have no way to predict how many will be there on the 20th
