Steve that drum line we marched out to was a snare drum solo i learned in 8th grade for contest. Myself and few others decided to use it for drumline,was called Parade of the Clicking Sticks lol drove my mom crazy when i practiced everyday in 8th ,it stayed around awhile and was added to. Cool as a freshman to have an influence.
This director was onto something with this drill writing! So original, different, and amazing! East Texas military marching band directors need to take note!
Z a c k P o l i n g thank you for your comment. We students who performed those drills enjoyed them immensely, as did our audiences. There is so much potential to tap in the military style, and I had hoped when posting these videos that they could serve today’s drill writers as well.

I bet these kids enjoyed playing “Cyrus The Great.” I’ve never known a band student who played it in high school who didn’t.
