This video is amazing cause I play marimba in my marching band and everyone always gives the pit crap about how they “don’t march” so we don’t work as hard, but honestly you try doing 45 second 4 mallet runs at 164 bpm while having 6 blisters that won’t go away
everyone in pit knows the feeling as soon as the drum major going and down we rush our instruments off the field. our pitstruments names are... vibraphone - cleo, xylophone - crappy, big newer marimba - kelon, small old marimba - rose, and the bells don't have a name because nobody likes her :(
Man, in my marching band nobody was vocal about hating us becuase most band kids liked us before we did pit. And I was the only one who named my instrument. I played a marimba who I named Billy Bob McGintie, and he would hold my water bottle in his mallet bags so that when the pit had a break, I'd take out my water bottle and stare at wind players and drink water while watching them march
At my school, I A M T H E P I T. Seriously, I'm the only person who does the melodic stuff. Of course, we don't really have a true "marching band" that's separate from the concert band, it's more like we just kind of march and do pep band stuff during band class in the fall. (We're really really tiny.) Also my bells are named Meredith, the main xylophone I use is named Jamie, the kind of crappy xylophone is Zoe, and the chimes are the Tubey Bois (because chimes are also called tubular bells).
Once my band director told somebody on tenor drums that of he doesn’t start acting right he’s playing in the pit. Even the band director makes fun of us :(
YAY BAND!!!!! I miss band! I know Mr. Weise! I was in the marching band for GCM from 2009-2012! 3:46 hi Mr. Weise! He plays the trumpet 😅! I play the flute! I had Pauly V (Paul Vesilind, Mr. V, the Ves, PVes) as my band director! I love Mr. V! My mom was in charge of the uniforms when I was in the band! I grew up playing the flute! #bandgeeksunite! I'm a band geek!
My school hates our pit, they drag our scores down majorly in competitions since there is only two of them they get judged for not being loud enough
Buttowski Gaming then get more
Symphony yeah they can't help being the only ones interested
Buttowski Gaming Then the judging is wrong unless they aren’t playing to their full potential.
My school had the same problem this year. Especially if the pit isn’t mic’d up they bash a pit for playing to soft
Buttowski Gaming Whip em on a cymbal and synth and just put more moving lines in the hornline 🤷🏻♂️

Girl: "This is my marimba. Her name is Marimbae."
Brass Player: "Nobody likes the pit!"
Girl: *drops mallets and walks away*
I have never seen anything more relatable in my life.
This is my new favourite video on youtube XD

marchers say that pit and drum line have no talent and are lazy but without pit nor drumline all the musicwould soud boring
YEs I AM THE THUMBNAIL

Awesome, very creative, fun and funny !!!

My trombone is named Michelangelo because it’s old but it’s a piece of art and my trigger trombone is named Quick Draw because... well you know

3:08 omg that's such a small rain stick, at my school it goes up to my shoulder
Al Rose now now no need to compare sizes
1:38 the mallet went straight into the resonator
Whatever happened to traditional snares? Do people not use them anymore?
