WOW OH WOW!!!! That was so awesome!!!!  Very talented kids. Very tough too.....wearing those heavy, hot band uniforms and performing flawlessly when it's 100 degrees outside. I do not know how they do it.

Thanks for posting that video. 

One of my favorite parts of the Auburn Gameday Experience is the march around by the Auburn University Marching Band prior to the pregame festivities beginning. They are and have always been an awesome band! :we:

Always tried to make the drumline performance a part of my visit on game day....still a great show.   Thanks...

I played percussion through high school, so I have a bit of fondness towards it.  Boy this video took me back a bit.

Good stuff. I think i would play the quads that looks supes cool.

The quads are addictively fun. It is actually easier to pick up than you might think, since they are designed to flow alternately with your arms/wrists from left and right.

I played sax in school but tinkered around with other instruments, including the snare and quads. I definitely enjoyed playing the quads!

Good deal.  The tenor sax is the horn instrument I would love to learn the most.  Great for making beautiful solo music.

Same for me. I’m not necessarily the most manly of men and don’t desire to be, but I wouldn’t be caught dead playing a clarinet or a flute. Would have to be a trombone, saxophone or the trumpet. Most likely the trumpet would be choice. 

Also, for those unfamiliar with percussion, marching band, or drumline, the goal of a drumline is to sound like there is only one person playing each instrument. When it sounds that way, it means everyone is playing everything correctly and perfectly in time. This is known as playing "clean." Notice that during most of the warm ups, each section sounds more or less this way. Dr. Rosener has done a great job with this year's drumline this year. Maybe he should coach our offense.

Thanks for posting the full video, and for the insight.

I  have to say it again. I admire these young people so much.....the talent, the many long hours of hard work that it takes to sound so great, and all of that on top of being a college student. They are amazing.

I see what you did there... :beer2:

I was in the AU Drumline and Band from 1966 through 1970. It was hard work but way way more enjoyable than it was hard. By no means however, did we have the number of percussionists in today's lineup. We only had 11 members back in the dark ages of 1969. It is amazing that I still remember the names of most of our group.Drumline 1 (3A).jpg

I honestly don't remember why I picked saxophone but I played alto primarily. I was short and didn't like the bulkier tenor at that age. :)
