I am planning on trying out for Phantom Regiment for this coming year. I there any tips or tricks you could tell me to be prepared and ready for auditions?
Love the contra POV! I got a question though... Was the entire contra line wearing in ear monitor packs? I know there's been a lot of A/V elements including amplification and such so I was just curious.
yes, early season only the mic’d tubas were wearing IEMs (4 of us), but that caused a lot of timing issues as some of us were going off of different things, so they ended up giving us all IEMs but not all of us were mic’d this year.
@@MatthewCarter-kl7jb yep! we had two members on steroids for basically all of finals week… it hurt so much for them but I’m so glad they pushed through it
I’m so glad to know that tubas in drum corps are just as weird as we are in high school marching band
Awesome video! I wish GoPros had been a thing in the early 2000s when I was marching. By far my favorite show of the summer. Thanks for sharing!
Aww man my daughter is going to LOVE this!
Why did THIS get me more hyped than an actual performance? 😅

What GoPro do you use? This quality looks fire
I use a HERO9 Black
Is that a King tuba?
Can you still march contra tuba even if you’ve only played Sousa?
yes, just takes some adjusting holding the horn in front of you instead of "wearing it"
yes! my first regiment camp in 2023 I had never touched a contra before
Any advice for getting better tone quality
Long tones and lip slurs
I like to spend some time buzzing on my mouthpiece and make sure I have a full, open, and airy sound before transferring it to the horn
Are tubas mic’d up?
4 out of the 12 of us were mic’d, and all of us had IEMs
So... my friend (Ashton Wiseneske, marched trumpet in Phantom this year) said that two tubas had broken legs during finals... can you confirm?
