this honestly isnt too bad, i was at a marching band assessment and one band did the exact same thing but it was spinning like 10 times faster, i didnt even understand how he could play
Its not too hard, if the instrument is the same as when your standing it makes no difference, the only thing impressive is their ability to stay in time
@@nathangrim4420 it is in fact the world turned upside down. Had to go looking for the original video and right as they start the people sing the world turned upside down. If you want to see the full thing you can search Westfield marching band 2021
Not that hard. Percussionists learn playing on multiple drums before highschool so once you're in highschool, though it is very intimidating, its not as hard as you'd think it is. Bass is actually harder depending on the music you write.
@@EBG... learning to play multiple drums is very helpful before marching band but I do know some songs or cadences like jig 2 are really challenging on it
@@AudreyGilyeat yeah, we don't even have that at my school. Our school is sponsored by our local chic fil a, and all our money comes from basically just the band parents since our fundraiser selling an app went so terribly. We also have a band of like 40 people. Big bands are just so cool to us. (also Personal thing, EVERY OTBER BAND MARCHES BARI BUT MY BAND DIRECTOR REFUSES TO LET ANYONE MARCH BARI)
It was crazyyyyyy getting to see this, especially as a Freshman who’s band was constantly performing last. Getting to JMU was insane, and we were not prepared to compete at a level like this lol
@@gruswig688 mostly said it because she slayed! u did nothing wrong :,) i’m just trying to be extra and make sure she gets appreciated. trying to phrase everything right-
I was at a comp once and there was this one part that this really rich high school did where they had a color guard member wear a giant red dress and then they fucking pretended to burn her on a like 65 foot tall stake as if she was a witch, and then the dress “unfurled” and turned into like a 50 foot “tent” of sorts below her. They were doing some kind of narrative based performance with like a story. Shit was nuts.
the best comment my marching band ever received from a judge was him asking for more cymbals?? he really made it clear he wanted more cymbals in that tape
Im a tenor player aswell and our first comp was last saturday. In our closer me and our other tenor player goes up ramp props but they were slick and i fell HARD. Luckily I recovered and got props from the judges, and to top it all off we got 1st place in our division (4A) best percussion overall and reserved gc.
Dang, and I thought our drum line had a neat party trick where one of the drummers held another drummer upside down while the guy upside down would play the song.
Virginia Competitions are clearly that intense. I don't know about the scores at that exact competition, pretty sure this was the highest scoring at parade of champions that year, I could be wrong though, but the first competition in the vmbc circuit that season they came second in their class to a science school
for the record, there were 5 bands in Westfield's class, And all had 83.98 or above Westfield with an 86.25 and the group that beat them with an 88.38 on SEPTEMBER 18TH
@@f4llen.LE4VE5 exactly like we always show love to the other band when they show love to us (like wave to then and all that jazz) but if they wanna try us like a battle of the bands during the game we will go for it and not hold back
Ah, yes. The James Madison University Parade of Champions. Recognize that stadium anywhere. This is probably Chantilly or some gnarly, rich band. Edit: it's Westfield. The last Parade of Champs I played in (18 or so years ago), Chantilly took it. I can remember sitting about right where this camera is. Our top bass marked a good five or six hashes too far in the way in and stayed that way until the ballad, if i recall correctly. Ah, good times.
@@elismith195 Oooh yeah I know you probably don't have any bad intentions, i just don't share personal information such as my school online lol. Just a safety thing
@@reimisugimoto3617 oh that’s fine. I was just wondering in case we might compete or something. We don’t have much budget as well so we’re relying on fundraisers to afford. The show is supposed to be huge tho, I’m really excited

They used the school band budget for this prop.

What were you trying to say?
What?
This was a band competition not a halftime performance?
Director: All right you guys are gonna do great, just don’t be nervous!

This literally was the band before mine at our first competition this year, luckily this was their show LAST year.

"mom can I have a drum set?"
"No we have one at home"
The one at home:
This is not how the meme works at all..
those are tenor drums, they serve a completely different purpose than a drum set and can be very expensive and difficult to play
@@eraukah I’m hoping he didn’t think the tenors were a drum set
@@eraukah I can play tenor. I don't really think it's hard tbh but maybe I'm just good
@@Jkerr2400 me neither
Playing that his hard itself.
Playing that while spinning: 😵💫
It doesn’t even sound in rhythm
Not that hard. Percussionists learn playing on multiple drums before highschool so once you're in highschool, though it is very intimidating, its not as hard as you'd think it is. Bass is actually harder depending on the music you write.

It’s not any harder to do it spinning. The drums are in the same place.
@@Insomnia_tic that’s because of the speed of sound and everyone being far apart. The pit drums are closer than the band so you hear them first.
They’re just training the drummer boys for if we ever go to war over the moon.
Bro our show this year is space/moon themed
For anyone wondering this is Westfield High School last year competing at James Madison University’s Parade of Champions
Yup I remember seeing this live at another competition I was at. Forgot which school but Westfield sounds exactly right.
@@bigevilshark1958 seeing bands like Westfield and TJs as a person in a 1A band is just like, Man is that what having an actual budget is like
@@ncduskrose Westfield doesn’t even get a budget, it’s all from donations and the band boosters helping out

Biblically accurate drum set
Beautiful.
Golden comment lmao
Underrated
When you're ready to intern for NASA but your parents want you to do band first

Remember when Slipknot had something like this?
Dude it was wicked!
Joey in the air levitating in a giant cage over the stage
Yea Joey would like spin around and had like a chair installed to it…
Tommy Lee did it first
Joey Jordison
absolute slay to any band kid that can survive that
fr i’m a guardie and CANNOT IMAGINE doing that 😭
As a band kid, I'm not surprised they didn't put the whole drumline in one of those😂
That would be so cool rotisserie chicken, drum line
this is Virginia not Texas
nah that dudes training to become an astronaut
the best comment my marching band ever received from a judge was him asking for more cymbals?? he really made it clear he wanted more cymbals in that tape
I could see that. Cymbals make a nice SSSSSSSSSSssssssssssss sound which I really like
Bro what this is the high school we competed against. Crazy part is they didn’t even come first for a the competitions
what hs is it (assuming its some texas band)?
@@alainaking7530 Actually it’s Westfield High School in Virginia
@@JohnWuzntHeer yeah i was with liberty high school i got to watch it too
we competed against these guys too, actually insane
yooo independence band here! i think westfield did come first at jmu
"guys look what I built over summer vacation!"

When they take the band competition too seriously. 😂
Forget spiderman we got spinningman
Kid 1: Dude I’m in band too, I play tuba, what do you play?
Kid 2: I play the drum spinner
BRO TURNED INTO A HUMAN CENTRIFUGE LMAOOOOO
They take playing the quads to a whole new level.
playing the quads like that takes skill
Bruh imagine that gets off it's track and rolls across the field
He can play his own chase scene music as he Mows down the entire opposing team
This years show is crazy with the trombones.
Dang, and I thought our drum line had a neat party trick where one of the drummers held another drummer upside down while the guy upside down would play the song.
WOW!!!! Can not wait for the next one 🙌
Am I the only one who sees the guard in revolutionary era uniforms?? Drippy as fuck
stop ohmygod??????? thats so funny geuektktkf hoping and praying for a brooklyn tea party show theme now
because they're playing Hamilton, i believe!
They may have beat us last year but yesterday we took first! Love you Westfield, u guys are awesome!!!
This is especially amazing because Westfield’s band isn’t really funded by the school. This is all them!
slipknot: "taking notes"
Because a drummers life isn't complicated enough
omfgg like Motley Crue that’s actually sick as shit go lil mann!
Those state marching competitions are getting real competitive they must be looking for an edge

@@Zoinky_ImGoneForWhileNoReply how do u know
@@CesarMartinez-tl7yf probably because they’re in band? Lol

Holy shit I was there. I was there watching that one drummer dude.
This is iconic 🥲
Makes me miss marching band contests back in the day. No props. No Gimmicks. Just marching bands.
You can beat gimmicks with a higher, more consistent group skill
Joey Jordison, band camp 1987. (colorized)
The absolute madman
He’s training for when he goes to space so he can still play via zoom

This year’s POC is coming up next weekend! Go Dukes! -2022 grad
Literally just got home from POC lol, reading the wrong hashes is just a tradition at JMU since they just tape on HS hashes with blue tape lol
Westfield won!😊
When you have to compensate for skill
?
There band is actually pretty good!
bros on god mode 💀
The 7 people in the crowd looked pumped during that “performance “.
This is actually a special drum kit. It’s designed to amplify the drum sounds in all directions and make the drummer extremely dizzy.
It's very rare for people to get dizzy on those because you never make a full rotation
I'm marching tenor this year... unfortunately there are more people in this video than our entire band.
We are poor. No spin :(
What band do you march for?

We got our asses kicked😂
You should see what some high schools get up to during indoor drumline season
Bros on whole other level 😂
When you just showing off.
I was dumbfounded when i saw this part of the show
Our band used that too during last season, so it's good to see other people doing it to
It was crazy competing against these guys at JMU POC. Definitely a great show
He's going to throw up after that
Let's get this guy ready for NASA
Wow, the tens in attendance must have gone wild!
so proud
That man just said,"Gotta go fast"
This guy is training for the NASA orchestra
Bruh save this for Winter Percussion lol
This show was so cool to see in person, I march in the same division as this school, and they are super rich.
WHAT?? AMAZING! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The kid is training to be an astronaut. And if that doesn't work for her, drummer.
I actually got to see this band in person last year,
not at the parade of champions but at another popular competition in my county
This is making me even more excited for competition season
In my head when the band teacher asks me a question.
😃 That drummer is clearly on a fasttrack for NASA!
Band director was a Motley Crue fan
They brought out the entire percussion section
Bro deadass was spinning
Homies tripping out in there 100%
Bro forgot the no eating in the band hall rule
This is his punishment
Holy shit that tenor player is the goat
When you have played all your cards against the pride of Broken Arrow...
He must be training to be an astronaut
Benson wildin
bro is training for the angry band director space program, where he drops a stick and the director sends him to the sun.
When the entire school budget goes to the band
Do your best! That’s all it takes!
Bros chilling tho
Bruhhh she’s incredible for being able to play like that !!!
Got this fool spinnin like a rotisserie. Next level
