update again, united percussion 2 '23 was the best season of my life and bushwackers marimba is treating me great. looking promising that i can make it into some world class groups in '24 with my growth as a player. still coming back to this video for inspiration
I don’t even play an instrument that can be in DCI (I’m a sax main) but this is so cool. I’ve discovered pit head cams to be the funnest to watch usually
Great Job! How hard was it to get in the blue coats? If I were to try out what skill level should I try to get to and/or what are some pieces I should be able to play?
(I attended one of their audition camps today, feel free to take this with a grain of salt) Most of making a drum corps pit is knowing the packet and being able to apply the comments you are given on the fly. You’re going to need some prior experience to get in, though.
@@GH_percussion Thank you! I have lots of experience on marimba but because of why I'm playing, I've never even touched snare or other non-mallet percussive instruments. How much do you think that matters/how much did you play snare at the audition camp.
This book is really a masterclass in how to score high without ramming notes every second. Impressive and tasteful
god your inner mallet runs are so clean. going for up and cadets this year and really gotta work on those. SICK VIDEO
hey update, i'm in united percussion 2 right now and got conned into doing bushwackers this summer but we'll see next year :) . i'll update then

I was gonna say… Goodluck going with cadets…😂. Fr tho that’s so good for you man
Sad to see the cadets go after like 90 something years
badass. love tom rarick's front ensemble writing so much.
edit: white key run at 7:32. man.
that snare sounded absolutely majestic
10:06 sooo Nice!
2:20 butter omg 🤤
The car speeding by visual is literally my new favorite visual of all time ❤
Best percussion we’ll deserved. good job Nikolai 💙
My next transcription…
Thank you for this!
DCI mallet players never cease to amaze me
Boutta show our percussionist teacher this and be like “THIS IS WHY WE NEED HIGHER BUDGET”
Speaking from experience, having good hands and good writing is way more important than a big budget.
me when marimba player plays marimba😩 also holy shit ur inner mallets dude. thats so insane👍👍
LOVE watching you get better every year.

That was a great show I went to see it at the navy stadium for a band field trip.
10:06 10:07 10:08 10:09 10:10
If those are the Jim Casella signature series mallets, I also use those!

Hell yeah 🍁
Goated

What a baller
Question:
how do you count the dotted fives before the hit in part 3?
dotted fives are just eighth note fivelets over 3 counts rather than two. Try a five against three subdivision with TE Tuner
THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETINHG FROM ANIMUSIC AND I FUCKING LOVE IT
dci 2x speed is funny
Do you mind me asking what gopro you used for this 😅
Most likely GoPro hero 9 or above
