  • Can't get enough of Babylon? Couldn't get enough prop pushing from last year's headcam? Want a dance tutorial for our dance break? Come watch it all through an age-out's point of view!
    Enjoy as I pipe it up, scream, and horn snap for 12 straight minutes on our finals week rehearsal field while some open class champions watch.

    Honestly I don't know if any show has taken me on a journey like this one has, even more so from the perspective of a performer. I really want to see more into whatever dystopian cyberpunk world Babylon takes place in because that shit could be a movie. Kudos to the design team for thinking up such a coherent product and to the corps for bringing it to life with such emotion.

    Silly question from a drummer: why no gloves for rehearsal? Back when I marched (when dinosaurs walked the earth), the hornline always wore rehearsal gloves so sweat didn't damage the horns. We used horns for more than one year, though.

    • @stonewang9246
      @stonewang9246  6 лет назад +91

      Good question! Since our uniform didn't have gloves and we wanted to make sure there was as little difference as possible between performing and rehearsing, we ditched the gloves. Also we didn't want visible glove tans.

    how do you manage your breathing so well during these full runs? it seems like you never have to take an extended break from playing from being out of breath.

    • @stonewang9246
      @stonewang9246  6 лет назад +81

      Honestly, the breathing during this run isn't exactly my perfect example, but we practice mindful breathing throughout the whole run. There are specific chunks when we don't play where we meter our breathing to the music. Other times we slow our heart rates by taking slow deep inhales and slower exhales. This helps when we have to play because our bodies don't feel the stress as much from all the breathing prep. I wasn't always great at this and it took a lot of mindful practice to get it right. We also have specific breathing counts for every player, so having the same breathing plan every phrase really helps.
