03/07/10 04:09 PM Inspiration! by TenorDrummer12

I'm normally a drummer; I don't consider myself a mallet percussionist in any way, shape, or form. I play tenors (marching and indoor), played bass drum last year (marching and indoor), play set (in jazz band), and the usual variety of concert percussion (advanced level parts; they are usually snare, timpani, and bells or chimes, but also there has been some accessory percussion thrown into the mix). I can have to write in note names for my bells/chimes parts, haha.

Anyway, for Solo&Ensemble this year, my buddy and I did a Marimba duet. Haha, we were both on the same skill level. We weren't being overzealous though (it was an extremely short but pretty whimsical-sounding piece). We got a "Good" rating (much to our surprise of getting the music a week before...)

That inspired me to start learning how to become a better mallet percussionist; now I'm determined haha.

So, for next year, I signed-up for the piano class at my school as well. (Ha, Social Studies online in turn.) Would anyone agree that piano helps better one's familiarity with mallet percussion? I like piano as well as mallet percussion, so I thought the experience would help.

Just wanted to share that nice little tale with everyone. Haha. smile

03/07/10 01:17 PM Argh...Penalties. by TenorDrummer12

At the last competition, in the unit I'm in, we had 6 other groups in our division. We would have got 3rd place (an awesome feat considering a whole ton of factors that I could name)! But we had a 6 point time penalty...and now we got 7th place. Excluding all penalties in each group, we would have got 3rd.

However, my unit is still proud of our achievements, and we'll fix those time-issues. Just one more competition to go!!
