Y’all getting so mad and for what? “Where’s the marching” y’all for the game you stay in the stands and hype the crowd, cheerleaders, and players up. During halftime it at the end of the game you play (depending on size and location of band).
Hate marching season but love it at the same time the long trips, late nights, getting into the ugly uniforms that u try and make look ok, everyone changing in the band room, playing loud, making fun of everyone it's a love hate relationship 😭
Tomorrow is my last football game, meaning marching season is officially over & honestly I wish it was the first game again. This season went way too fast for me, no matter how much I complained about the long practices I’m going to miss marching season now we’re stuck with boring concert season😒.
dude i’ve been marching for like- 2 years now, and football games are still my favorite part solely based on the fact that we can finally do stupid stuff and our band director can’t get mad at us ❤️❤️
My band director won’t let us do band battle. We ask and beg him for it and he yells at us and says that he knows what good for the band. He also doesn’t give a sh!t about the percussion section. That doesn’t stop us from acting like idiots though 😂
I have been through one season of my high school marching band and it was my favorite thing in the world. I loved the rush of walking out into the big football field with hundreds of people watching in the stands and working your ass off for the judges in the box. My favorite thing in the entire world ❤️
literally! i'm on my senior year of HS, been marching for 4 years and football games have always been my favorite. we get to do pregame and halftime plus stand tunes, and we get to hang out together in the meantime ❤
@@iyoro2097 that’s how the competitions feel. For football games, the entire crowd listens to us *except* for the huge student section.

My #1 favorite part of high school? MARCHING BAND DURING FOOTBALL GAMES!!!!!!!!!! At 53, I look back at all my sports (most valuable player in basketball, even) and other activities and THIS holds my favorite memories!!!!
@@Snaredrummer3247 ohhh that's understandable 🥲 our band director almost cut it out for the same reason, but we ended up getting a ton of low brass this year (ehich makes it sound so much cooler) and it was a favorite in general in our band so he decided not to
You want us to be marching on the field while the players are going at it nah we do the pregame, halftime, and postgame (we don’t match postgame, atleast my band)
coming from the section leader + marching captain of my school's drumline, this is absolutely insane for your first time ever, especially for snare!!!! most newer members (from what i've seen + my own experience) start on something like bass or cymbals
This could be some sort of 8th grade band night (that’s what my school called it) where the 8th graders go to play with the marching band but practice beforehand.
I’m a person in the marching band. For those who don’t know it’s not all about marching. Some people don’t march most of the time as there’s a front ensemble. what they are doing in the video is Stand tunes which is what the marching band does during the football game to pep up the players as we can’t exactly be marching around doing a show with the team is playing because they’re using the field. When the game is halfway finished(halftime), the marching band comes onto the field and that’s when we begin marching. This gives the football team a break. The other time that we march is during practice. During parades, everyone including the front ensemble marches.
@@littlehopscotch7768 no, once a year at homecoming we let the eighth graders play in the stands with us and perform one halftime song as well, it gives them an idea of what it’s like so they know if they want to continue
Marching band is one of the best experiences of my life so far (mid thirties here). I’ve noticed in many different people’s lives of different ages that friends you make in band will have more staying power in your life than from other places. The camaraderie of being part of a group that’s dedicated to working hard yet having fun on the side while performing forges strong bonds! Striving that when a competition comes around you leave everything on the Field meaning making sure all the effort, blood, sweat, and tears that were spent getting you there are fully utilized and you show up and give your complete all for competitions…it’s a feeling that few things match. I cannot recommend it enough. It will actually make you feel a part of your school and community instead of just a passer through. Plus extra class time off to play at school events and stuff doesn’t hurt either! 😄 Advice though, don’t let petty crap and drama ruin it for you. You’ll be spending quite alot of time with your fellow bandmates/directors in at times high stress situations. So understand and be willing to give grace to those who lose their cool. Don’t tolerate jerks obviously! but it’s a GREAT primer for how to deal with people in the future! One more benefit, you’ll definitely be in shape during marching season if you take it seriously lol! Even kids who were overweight were much leaner and can do pushups/run just like the rest of us at the end of the marching season. Of course I marched in Vegas where it can get 115 and we wore a black uniform. Thanks for taking the time to read my comment and I all who read this have a fantastic day and take a moment and reach out to an old band friend! 😃
8th Grade band night was so hype! I got to go even though I was a seventh grader, I can still remember it vividly. I played snare and since there were no other 8th grade percussionist I was the only middle schooler there. I got to march down with the marching band from the band room, it was the coolest thing! Good luck to the him, wherever he may be.
Well this is my old channel “game bite”, that’s me right there playing snare, I’m in the drumline now and I play bass one in that band, Im currently playing snare for Mardi gra season
This is a common occurrence. We had our 8th graders out at a football game a few weeks ago. It was just like this. They tried real hard and got pretty close sometimes.
I love marching. Home games are really fun because of all the lights flashing when we score a touchdown, and then we play The Horse while the Alarm blares. During pre game our band director always says to us “Alright, wake ‘em up.” And we blast as loud as we can while the football team comes onto the field. We’re pretty good at what we do, and have the most trophies in our school.
Okay, so this is what is called a pep band. It’s when we hype up the crowd in the stands. It is a part of marching band, so he is technically correct. However, there is much much more to marching band than playing at football games. We also have our own competitions and events. No hate, just clearing stuff up.
Yeah, at my school we had marching band, symphonic band, and pep band. It was all the same kids, same director, and all that stuff, but we did different things for each. Symphonic was regular concerts and recitals, marching was specifically for parades and parade competitions, and pep was for games.
bro are you guys serious smh they go and play songs to hype up the crowd in the stands and they get to watch the show at halftime and just spend the day with the band it wouldn’t be your first time playing with the band if you were marching we prepare for months for comps. it’s really fun i enjoy it i’m a tenor saxophonist
Um, do you guys not have a like, middle school or junior high night? The younger ones who haven't done marching band get to come and play their first football game and watch us do the show at halftime
I've been in band for 4 years. I'm on snare drum, and my favorite part of highschool is the football games. I love our football team and our band is truly something else. I'm proud of our community. Go Dawgs!
We have the same thing at my school for band 8th graders. Its called ‘8th Grade Night’ and all the band 8th grader get to play with the highschoolers for one night, so they can get used to the ropes if they wanna do it next year.
yeah except my band has a thing called "spirit night," most of the school attends and ANY member of the band can get on the field, play a song, and then play in the stands. in some cases yiu can join a year early, in 8th grade instead
I love marching band. But it’s so tiring. We have a parade on the 4th so we are getting ready for it we only had 2 practices so far on Monday is our last practice before the 4th 😁
Bro y’all getting mad for what? I’m in a marching band here’s how it works. We play until about the 2nd quarter when there’s maybe 7 minutes left game time so we can warm up and do sectional rituals and stuff then we get ready to March. After words we play until the game is over.
My favorite part of football games are always just messing around playing on the snare rims while getting guidance from the snare players. Like last game I learned the "tag" part of the fight song that they play when the team gets a first down. Marching band is a lot of fun, though it kinda eats your schedule.
finally someone said it..half of my summer for once a week i practiced then mini clinics monday-thursday THEN band camp monday-friday and then another minj clinics before we actually get to our normal tuesday-thursday schedule😭
I remember the vicious rumors that our high school drum line couldn't read one lick of music, and then when I was drum major I watched them all individually get flying scores on sight reading for our three marching pieces and the drum line piece. Vicious rumors dismissed!!!!!!!
Really whish our school had marching band of any kind absolutely love videos like this. Been playing for about 4 years of concert snare with just recent occurence of drum set and honestly havent learned even half of the stuff most marching snare players let along drumline players have learned I blame the shitty school system in america
I hear a cowbell. Do let auxiliary percussion contribute to the cadences or do you have a cowbell line or something. Actually, it's probably what the drum major(s) uses to keep time
Idk how it works for them but how it works for my schools is we currently have four sets of cymbals and the front ensemble (the people who play the boards during the show like vibraphones, marimbas, xylophone, etc.) people are the ones who play them. We have a few more people then four so the people not currently playing cymbals play other small instruments like a cowbell or maracas, etc.
Ayoooo join the marching band gang 😎 that’s sick man but just you wait for storm that’s coming when you march halftime on the field…😂if you know you know…now where are my marchers at?
You'll do great! Band is so fun and you'll be so proud to be a part of it. Dont stress yourself out during bandcamp if you cant march or play as well as someone else, it's your first year. Just try hard and have fun!
You should go for it, it’s worth it. You can also make so many friends plus when you perform no one is actually staring at you so you shouldn’t be that nervous
As a freshman in a marching band, it’s hella fun. I was terrible in the beginning of the year and the music was terrifying. I couldn’t march on time. But I made so many friends and got better faster than I thought. Still, I’m not as good as everyone, and I’m still pretty quiet, but I feel like joining marching band was the best decision I’ve ever made. Competitions were so fun, and we won two sweepstakes in a row.
dont stress! it sounds crazy hard but really as long as you pay attention and practice you WILL be able to do it just fine! i rly do reccomend you join though. its sm fun esp games!
@@TravelersRuneAlteh, the kid in uniform looked really tense when he played. The kid out of uniform was probably playing with a lot less velocity, but you also can’t assume that because tense technique really limits your sound output
Got the first game of the year tonight. I’m hype. Stick with snare dude, best instrument Fr. (I’m center because ofc). Make sure your not leaning back while playing, it’ll damage your back and ya don’t want to add to the back pain
My school did something like this not too long ago. So, my middle school is 5th through 8th, and anything before that was elementary. And high school is 9th through 12th. Marching band starts the first year of highschool. So what goes on, is before the 8th graders go into highschool, they get a chance to see what marching band is like before they do it. Because then your given the chance to either switch to choir, or stop band entirely. Because at that point marching band IS band. And when most 8th graders do the pre-band marching band, they get confused not knowing what to do because they’ve never done that stuff before. I’m definitely joining marching band it’s actually awesome and a lot of fun.
We just had our last football game of the season. We actually did really well! And then somebody took a video of my friend playing careless whisper in the stands, so that’s on the internet now
You sounded awesome! Marching band is so fun and the experience and friendships u make will stay with u forever! Ignore the ignorant comments and keep on drumming 🏈🚍🥁🎶😊
Clarinet player all 4 years of high school. Went to every football game home and away all 4 years. Marched in many parades. Music was my passion in high school. Even though my mom opposed to me being in the band, I got to play and my 3 younger siblings did too. It was awesome!!!
Wow! Y’all’s band is so much bigger than ours TwT it sounded great! Small tip tho you don’t have to life the drum sticks so high it’ll be easier to play quickly when there closer to the drum :)
@@garyp3644 bro no? I dont know what you mean. You can join in middle school and after you practice for a year or play at a performance you are then considered a current band member.
Usually you’ll be in the stands because you’ll be playing while the football game is happening, then during half time you’ll go out depending on if your field has room
Guys they can’t go on the field and march the football team is there. They’re on the field when nobody is occupying it. Maybe for the halftime show or at a competition and practice
oh my gosh i love marching band. don’t get me wrong there are ups and downs and it takes lots of hard work but performing is such a treat. i am currently in my senior year as a section leader for high brass( i play trumpet but we have trumpets and mellophones with 15 in our section) and just had a competition where we placed first (we try to focus on always being better than we were but we’re pretty proud of how well we do, awful in prelims, WAY better at finals) we’re a 4 A band so there’s so many people to meet and it’s awesome getting that power at the impacts. I really loved our show during 2018 and this year (2022), they were my favorites
This was my first year for marching band and I literally ADORE it. It’s my favorite thing to do!!! But now the season is almost coming to an end and I’m probably going to cry. I play in front ensemble and I love my people there. Can’t wait for the upcoming years tho 🫶🏻
Y’all getting so mad and for what? “Where’s the marching” y’all for the game you stay in the stands and hype the crowd, cheerleaders, and players up. During halftime it at the end of the game you play (depending on size and location of band).

Still, I’m not as good as everyone, and I’m still pretty quiet, but I feel like joining marching band was the best decision I’ve ever made. Competitions were so fun, and we won two sweepstakes in a row.
@@haroldoduarte5820unless you got a solo😭 i have a dancing solo this year and im not even a color guard
dont stress! it sounds crazy hard but really as long as you pay attention and practice you WILL be able to do it just fine! i rly do reccomend you join though. its sm fun esp games!
That was very well for your first time. Nice job man
Honestly, the young kid’s technique actually looks better than the one in uniform
Both were very bad
@@TravelersRuneAlt yeah. But the young kid’s was still better.
@@thenelsonbruhs722 no it was def worse, the one in uniform is better, but both are bad
@@TravelersRuneAlteh, the kid in uniform looked really tense when he played. The kid out of uniform was probably playing with a lot less velocity, but you also can’t assume that because tense technique really limits your sound output
MAHAAAAAAATNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! We have the greatest dance for this song
Got the first game of the year tonight. I’m hype. Stick with snare dude, best instrument Fr. (I’m center because ofc). Make sure your not leaning back while playing, it’ll damage your back and ya don’t want to add to the back pain
sick i just had a game that friday too! sure ur band did great!
Good job man keep it up
My school did something like this not too long ago. So, my middle school is 5th through 8th, and anything before that was elementary. And high school is 9th through 12th. Marching band starts the first year of highschool. So what goes on, is before the 8th graders go into highschool, they get a chance to see what marching band is like before they do it. Because then your given the chance to either switch to choir, or stop band entirely. Because at that point marching band IS band. And when most 8th graders do the pre-band marching band, they get confused not knowing what to do because they’ve never done that stuff before. I’m definitely joining marching band it’s actually awesome and a lot of fun.
Marching band is epic :D have the fun mate!
Welcome to the cult 😂
you did so well! agh i miss high school only for marching band :,)
Totally not me crying.... Thinking about how awesome Miss.Cole is, but missing Mrs. Stopps 😭
Nice work bro!!
We just had our last football game of the season. We actually did really well! And then somebody took a video of my friend playing careless whisper in the stands, so that’s on the internet now
You sounded awesome! Marching band is so fun and the experience and friendships u make will stay with u forever! Ignore the ignorant comments and keep on drumming 🏈🚍🥁🎶😊
Yesterday was my first time playing in marching band. I’m first chair trombone
Let’s go trombone
I can tell. But practice makes better. Marching band is so much fun
Man's bugging out 😭😭😭
Clarinet player all 4 years of high school. Went to every football game home and away all 4 years. Marched in many parades. Music was my passion in high school. Even though my mom opposed to me being in the band, I got to play and my 3 younger siblings did too. It was awesome!!!
I did a similar thing in 8th grade. We got to perform with the band at a game. It was awesome.
BAHAHAHA “but ur not marching” if anyone says this they obviously don’t know wtf marching band is 😭
keep it up that stuff gets you strong and if that’s not your fancy do pit
Wow! Y’all’s band is so much bigger than ours TwT it sounded great! Small tip tho you don’t have to life the drum sticks so high it’ll be easier to play quickly when there closer to the drum :)
YASSS!!! ABSOLUTELY SLAY
I had the same feeling but it’s super cool
Y’all, marching bands perform in the stands too; it’s like a combination of pep and on-field playing. They’re still the same band…
keep it up👍🏼the more you practice, the more better you get
I did the same thing back in 8th grade and was one of the best in the drum line.
Ur not apart of a drumline in 8th. U get into drumline when u hit highschool so 9th grade, and thats if u pass the drumline test that most schools do
@@garyp3644 bro no? I dont know what you mean. You can join in middle school and after you practice for a year or play at a performance you are then considered a current band member.
honestly i was expecting garbage but for yu first time you did pretty good nice chops
Usually you’ll be in the stands because you’ll be playing while the football game is happening, then during half time you’ll go out depending on if your field has room
Guys they can’t go on the field and march the football team is there. They’re on the field when nobody is occupying it. Maybe for the halftime show or at a competition and practice
Playing sounds good and technique looks good (I’m not a snare tho)
Nice bro! I'm in marching band too and I played for a football game
oh my gosh i love marching band. don’t get me wrong there are ups and downs and it takes lots of hard work but performing is such a treat. i am currently in my senior year as a section leader for high brass( i play trumpet but we have trumpets and mellophones with 15 in our section) and just had a competition where we placed first (we try to focus on always being better than we were but we’re pretty proud of how well we do, awful in prelims, WAY better at finals) we’re a 4 A band so there’s so many people to meet and it’s awesome getting that power at the impacts. I really loved our show during 2018 and this year (2022), they were my favorites
That’s a big snare
Yup, couldn’t move my neck for a day
@@Snaredrummer3247no way we found batman
No not really, its normal sized
Watch as there’s like one discreet hate comment that a person just went ahead and deleted and now people are trying to find it like it’s gold
Doing good bro I’m tryna be like you one day
The true hype is in the stands
Basically this is actually marching band but they only do one to two shows marching per game and are basically a pep band for the rest of the game
I use to go to this school last year.
i did that but we weren’t taught any of the music 😭
All I can remember is I played both trumpet and baritone and during that time I was told to play quieter since all they can hear is my baritone.
Pretty cool seeing MY school on the my feed for yt
I was in Marching Band back in my day
Lol just finished doing exactly this
we dont just march we play stand tunes too hype up the crowd and football team and support them and then during halftime we march a show
stand tunes are the best part fr. the worst part is thinking there’s bugs in your bed when it’s really just turf 🤷🏼♀️
literally...we finished our shiw and there was so mych turf in my shoe it was just..💀
NO NOT THE TURF TURDS 😭
meanwhile my first game this season it rained bugs, i was pretty worried about that
@@DevinSeeleyDevilO first ever game in our season we were bejng assaulted by nats lmfao😭
Nice job trying marching band! Way to see fellow musicians showing what they got❤❤❤ p.s. I’m in the high school marching band while I’m only 11
This was my first year for marching band and I literally ADORE it. It’s my favorite thing to do!!! But now the season is almost coming to an end and I’m probably going to cry. I play in front ensemble and I love my people there. Can’t wait for the upcoming years tho 🫶🏻
I play front ensemble too(it’s also my first year)
@@moalliance9392 ooo that’s cool :)
