  • I'm not that interesting; hence why nobody watches me.
    Keepin' it real. I hope I'm not alone in such thoughts. The glare made a weird effect but luckily it's not on my face so we can ignore it, yeah? Special thanks to Jazmine for letting me tape a camera to her marimba :)
    Recorded on Nov. 12, 2016 at our Battle of the Bands encore performance. Here is a video of the actual show: • Moorpark High School M...

    this was actually somewhat helpful, lmao. I'm a freshman and the idea becoming drum major someday has always kept my interest. your expressiveness and ability to show dynamics (something our current DM doesn't do, although she's pretty good at tempo) is something I'll keep in mind. I really hope to be as good as that in senior year.

    Okay. So I know this is old but almost all (if not all) drum majors give you a stink face if you mess up. At times they won’t even recognize it😂😂
    I can’t count the times I missed a set and a drum major wanted to beat the living stars out of me.

    Our drum major is on the field and he does twirling/tossing with a baton. Our directors are the only ones on the ladder, so when I clicked on this I was like ??? It’s pretty cool tho, you’re good at what you do even if I don’t really understand it lol

    • @celenahu6306

      Hi and congrats!! It's okay to be nervous - over time, you'll grow into that position. In front of the band, you just gotta fake it till you make it. Be willing to take constructive criticism and don't be afraid to ask for feedback (for conducting, leadership, etc). Most importantly, don't compare yourself to anyone else - your band directors chose you for you, so lead with confidence as your awesome self! Hope that helps 😊

    • @celenahu6306
      @celenahu6306  6 лет назад +1

      sam hernandez lol thanks. And yeah my band director later told me that my 3 pattern is hitchy. It's a common habit that even he is working to get rid of. I've worked on my conducting since then ;)

    • @samhernandez5407
      @samhernandez5407 6 лет назад

      yeah personally i've never had a hitch bc of how i learned and who i learned from and my directors loved it but i've always had trouble getting my team to match be smoother. what grade are you in and are you head? the best part of being a drum major i think is at the big hits and you can literally feel the sound :') i'm gonna miss this stuff

    • @celenahu6306
      @celenahu6306  6 лет назад +1

      sam hernandez now that I think about it, the person who I mimicked to learn how to conduct had a hitch! I am actually a freshman in college this year, but that video was from my senior year in high school. I was head drum major my junior year and then shared it with my buddy, Jake, the year after. This year I'm actually a conductor for the Oregon Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps and I'm super excited for that!

    You've got a mad hitch in your pattern, what's you reason for that?

    • @celenahu6306
      @celenahu6306  4 года назад +1

      Yeahhh 😅 basically I learned it from a previous drum major that I looked up to and just copied her pattern. Later on I learned that hitches are bad (unless you're subdividing and being intentional with it) and relearned how to conduct without hitches and fixed other bad habits I had
