I have a feeling that a lot of the rules about stuff you can't have in your show (glass, live animals, powder or sand) are there because a winterguard tried it once
I was one of the lead staff running that show at the college. The energy in the room was electric. Everyone knew what was happening, and it was outstanding.
Yeah, you could aim for the lowest score possible... OR you could aim for the most epic show with pyrotechnics, elephants, and balloons for ONLY ~65 or 70 point penalty. You may only get a max score of 30, but your performance will live on in infamy.
Also, under the tick system, the score wasn't entirely tear down. They may have gotten a high execution score, but their analysis score would have been almost nothing.
I’m so late to this video, but I worked for my cooperating teacher after my student teaching semester. We would keep adding things to an idea called “The Show”. This concept was going to be his last show before retiring in which he would purposely break each and every rule. It was a super fun way to pass the travel time to and from competitions. The end was “as the smoke clears from the pyrotechnics, an adult chaperone would push a remote control that would release the latch on a box; revealing a cat with a red helium balloon attached to its collar” all of which was and is illegal. 😂
*me who went to college with rhythm X members *me laughing as soon as he brings up them having the lowest score Okay I guess it wasn’t that bad of a performance not gonna lie
Eric, the package is in the mail. Made sure I was home by 3:00 EST! Showed the clerk at the Post Office the Heurta 2 video (cause there was no line!) She loved it! but then I turned around and there were 3 people in line! 🙄😜
Pete Magnuson its called indoor drumline! Percussion groups from around the US/world preform shows and compete! Groups can preform individually or through a Highschool. Its actually a lot of fun and a great way to play cool music and meet people. I think April 15-18th is the finals date and it takes place in Dayton Ohio!
You left out two crucial tick system categories: Exposure to Error and Musical Analysis. These two captions were to allow corps with more difficult shows to get a higher score than a corps that played whole notes perfectly. It was not ALL tear down scoring from perfect. There were several captions that started at zero and built up. The two I mentioned were build-up scores. Therefore, the "Crashy Bongo" show would have suffered just as much under the tick system as with the current system. (By the way, the last season to use the tick system was 1983. In 1984 we had the first year of the current method, and all the scores were ridiculously high that first year, leaving the judges nowhere to go. This lead to more finalist ensembles to score in the nineties than ever before and the hopelessly wrong scores of 97.90 and 98.00 for BD and Garfield in shows with many obvious errors. Anyway, my point is that DCI scoring under the tick system included both tear down and build up categories. Exposure and MA were quite important and weighed heavily on the final scores of groups based on how difficult what they were doing was as compared to other groups.
This video was so educational, I couldn’t afford the 40 bongo props, so I had to settle for -30 points. When I told my drum line, they were so happy they lost to urmother high school who didn’t even show up because our 4th cymbal player decided to give them all food poisoning. I thought we would just get disqualified, but the judges were nice to us even when our 10 elephants tracked mud from outside.
It’s actually really simple. If you just watch some online drumline auditions, you should see crab stepping techniques. Also, it does not differ from drum to drum.
When you brought up the age specification for military personnel all I could think about is how in world guard there is no age limit. So that old dude could be in a world guard doing spins and flips (@paramount) just cuz
love your video's. Just one major slip: the large dangerous prop on 10:43 is the Grenfell tower fire in London UK in 2017, where 72 people died. Not the best prop
"A crashy bongo" is a great example of needing to improvise when you get fucked by unforseen problems. They came up with *something* to do instead of just giving up and going home.
i was marching the 2020 rhythm X winds season when this happened. fortunately the wind trailer didn't break down so we had a good performance that night. Robby is such nice guy and killed it at crashybongos
There is an episode of the PSA podcast which goes in depth into CrashyBongo. One of the hosts is Graham Hopkins, the operations director for Rhythm X, so lots of first hand insight. pca.st//episode/c27a918c-5d76-4fad-b971-2fd6b3f53332
I'm pretty sure there was an independent open group that got a 10 point penalty at finals last year because they brought their generator onto the floor.
That sounds like the most amazing show to ever happen in the history in the universe. It needs to be performed at the superbowl, cause then I would actually care to watch it.
according to rule 4.3.1 flammable liquids and gasses are not allowed, but it says nothing about flammable powders. A catapult launcher firing something like sawdust or coffee creamer when exposed to an open flame makes a damn good fireball. Additionally powder like the kind that get used in color runs are nor banned.
@@boston9511 Yeah, exactly! I don't know if you are familiar with WGI Percussion, or DCI Drum Corps, but Synth is just a nice abbreviation. Cause Synthesizer is quite a mouth full to say constantly, lol
How in the hell did RUclips know that I was in marching band in high school!? I swear RUclips must've been stalking me, that's the only way I can make sense of this recommendation. Sweet video tho.
It was heartbreaking really, we're a young group compared to other groups such as matrix. We passed by MANY wgi officials and not one told us hey you can't have that. But if it were a group people knew about then it would have been different.

When we found out the score we got, we literally cheered. So grateful to be in a group that could pull it off.
ok
you were in the rhythm x group?
I have a feeling that a lot of the rules about stuff you can't have in your show (glass, live animals, powder or sand) are there because a winterguard tried it once

No you didnt
That's netted you 45 imaginary Internet points.
same i’m in one of the wgi groups so i got to see them at our competition
Bella Bice yeah, that’s why I was there, I preformed that day
Fun fact, when their equipment truck arrived they ended up getting first place. Yee
not surprising at all
Lol, I just got the joke
The Cheese With 1K Subs its not a joke.. they won finals 😂
@@thecheesewith1ksubs73 did you think the joke was that they brought guns or something
Lmao imagine the anxiety of the other teams hoping it wouldn’t show and they would have a shot this year.
They never said anything about dead animals......
This comment right here, officer.
🤔
Violin string I think :D
You are the reason they tell you not to take medications you're allergic to.
I'm sure fur was used back in the day. Vintage corps used A LOT of fabric.
fun fact, just met the bongo player for that show, super nice guy! He was actually the 2019 Bluecoats Pit section leader too
I was one of the lead staff running that show at the college. The energy in the room was electric. Everyone knew what was happening, and it was outstanding.
The bongo player is Robbie. He is one of the keyboard techs at my school.
ok but seriously this would have been so much more entertaining than some of the top 5 shows
For a "weird" entrance that would cost them points, they should rappel down from the ceiling mission impossible style.
Or bust through the walls koolaid man style.
If you make the hour long solo I will listen to the entire thing uninterrupted
Not gonna lie...
That blue chicken in the back is pretty hot

Time for that hour long tenor solo, huh? 😂
But wouldn't the bongo props get them a higher visual score?
they're really ugly bongo props
I looked up tenor a few months ago. I found you and now I have a 3 o clock addiction.

Hey Eric could you do a tutorial of how to crab step with marching snare, bass and Tenor drums?

Guard was suffering in membership a little while back so they removed the age limit.
I was actually there for that show and i loved every second of it
There is a penalty cap at like 8 I only know because my school got it... in Dayton.
love your video's. Just one major slip: the large dangerous prop on 10:43 is the Grenfell tower fire in London UK in 2017, where 72 people died. Not the best prop
Indeed, not the best prop, quite unsafe if 72 people died.
-10 points
Not the best prop, you say?
Good! -10 pts.
I used to judge for a circuit in Southern California, a few tiers lower than WGI. Safe to say, we’ve scored drum lines in the single digits.
