  • CBA Drum Tuning
    Hello band directors! I know you’re in the throw of marching band season and I wanted to help you with an easy task to improve the overall sound of your ENTIRE ENSEMBLE! I’ve seen a few groups this year and wanted to share some information about tuning the marching percussion section. First: consider the size of your ensemble. If your group is smaller, choose smaller bass drum sizes. The bigger drums will drown our your wind section and affect the balance of your group. Second: Tune the drums on a regular basis! I know you tune your wind section every day. Same should go for the percussion section. Third: Tips and tricks -I’ve included a link to the Evans Drumheads tuning guide which has great information! http://www.evansdrumheads.com/upload/ EVBR_MPSG07_Marching_Percussion_Survival_Guide_12562.pdf -A few things to add to the link -I tune bass drums to a major triad ex. 28” C, 24” G, 22” C, 20” E and 18” G -This might differ slightly depending on your drum sizes, head combination etc. -Tuning a major triad makes split playing more melodic and unison stronger -Most groups I’ve seen this year had bass drums with TOO LOW of a tuning scheme. This creates a low rumble which lacks clarity and over balances the wind section. -Also make sure your bass drums have proper dampening. Too much “boom” will again over balance the winds and create a lack of clarity. The Evans MX series heads are a great start! Fourth: Front Ensemble -Tune for articulation, balance and sound quality -I tune concert bass drums to the same root pitch as the triad in the marching basses -Keep timpani in tune DAILY! Weather changes will affect the tuning drastically -give your student/staff time in the lot on show days to “clear” timpani heads Happy tuning and good luck with your season!

  • Marching Band Faqs (For Website)
    BU MARCHING BAND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Will I have time for Marching Band in my academic schedule? Yes. The Marching Band schedule is designed to be achievable for BU students. We know your studies come first. The schedule is lighter than most U.S. high school marching band schedules for this purpose. The season ends on the first weekend of November, five to six weeks before final exams begin, so you’ll have plenty of time to study. What are the top reasons I should join Marching Band? Start college with a huge group of friends! Move into your dorm early. Learn the campus before classes begin. Have a weekly musical outlet that is designed to fit into your academic schedule. Blow-off steam after a day of class, lab and study. Perform exciting shows for appreciative band crowds. Belong to a community at BU. When does Marching Band rehearse? Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6:30-9:00 PM, and one event per weekend (either a performance or rehearsal). The season is only eight weeks long and ends on the first weekend of November, five to six weeks before final exams begin, so you’ll have plenty of time to study. Where / when / what do we perform? The BU Marching Band performs as a featured collegiate exhibition group at regional high school band competitions, on campus, in our community, and at the Collegiate Marching Band Festival in Allentown, PA…..a fun trip. There is typically only one Marching Band performance per weekend, leaving you time to study, work, or sleep. The field show differs each year, and is designed to be entertaining for both the performers as well as the audience.

  • Notre Dame College Marching Band 2013-14 Woodwind Technique Book
    Notre Dame College Marching Band 2013-14 Woodwind Technique Book Clarinet This book is designed to give you basic fundamentals to be successful musicians during this season. It is not the end all to musicianship but is a starting point and will guide you in your fundamental development. FAQ AIR Air is one of the most important elements of brass playing. QUALITY, QUANTITY and SPEED are the three components of air that we will focus on. “Good” air equals good sound and ease of play. NO TENSION! NEVER STOP THE AIR! Breathing in and holding the breath (this is called capping) before release causes tension and loss of air pressure. Keep the breaths moving in a circle; in and out, in and out. Get rid of old, stale air when ever possible and take a new full breath. Stagger breathing is achieved by sneaking in and out of the music at a different time than your neighbor. Singing We will sing everything we play. Singing helps to hear the correct pitches and greatly improves intonation. We will sing the same way we play, beginning with a good breath, and starting each new articulated note with (TAH). We will be singing with proper singing technique resulting in good Tone, Rhythm, Intonation, Articulation, and Musical Expression. We will frequently sing during visual oriented rehearsals. Correct pitches are very important! Timing FEET! We will occasionally have you stand still to focus on playing but 90% of the time you will mark time. The feet must be in time with the Dr. Beat or Drum Major, and your playing should line up with your feet.
