As a former competitive marching band member, and current marching/guard instructor, I have seen this face many a times in pit percussion.

[–]MaritMonkey 62 points63 points ago

Spent 6 years in a drum corps pit. It's the things that seem easy that everybody's freaking grandmother will notice if you fuck up. This level of intensity is totally called for.

EDIT: For nostalgia's sake, a typical move-in schedule. I'm not sure if it's more frightening that I actually kept to this routine for 6 whole summers or that I sort of miss it.

[–]Fyziks 36 points37 points ago

Many people don't understand the intensity of marching percussion.. Sadly.

[–]naize 6 points7 points ago

Or for that matter, front ensemble; they have their share of pressure.

Competitions require ensemble to cover the same distance in the same time as the rest of the band when entering and leaving the field, but they need to wheel out gear that weighs twice as much as the section's members. Instrument redundancy in marchers masks individual musical errors, while ensemble err is very apparent. An ensemble timpani player I knew once broke his mid-high's head in matching brass' overzealous volume in the first piece, and spent the rest of the performance rapidly re-pedaling the mid-low and high to match the notes that would have been normally covered by the mid-high.

Crazy stuff.

[–]Semajj 5 points6 points ago

Cavalier pit member here. That kind of intensity that dude's showing is pretty normal, but he could stand to maybe not show it so much

[–]Semajj 1 point2 points ago

I didn't realize the reddit/DCI community was so large. Is there by any chance a DCI subreddit? lol

But I wish I would've marched a corps, I age out after this season. I have a few friends that march Academy, and I think our bass tech is out with the SVC cymbals again this year.

[–]DaBouse 1 point2 points ago

I LOVE YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!

[–]morgantaylorx 12 points13 points ago

Ha, I'm in the drumline and I know this face too.

[–]Semajj 16 points17 points ago

You guys are drummers too? :D

But in his defense, that was the most sought after part for sleigh ride

[–]jvano 5 points6 points ago

Have to agree, though the woodblocks were a close second. Between high school and college band, I performed every percussion part in that song at least once.

[–]Semajj -1 points0 points ago

[–]Turtle_Dove 3 points4 points ago

Ahh the joys if being in pit i'll miss them now im on top bass

[–]bucknugget 0 points1 point ago

top bass is not a real bass drum!

[–]Turtle_Dove 2 points3 points ago

Why so

[–]Brucethematt 1 point2 points ago

It's a fat Tom at best

[–]JBurrows_ 1 point2 points ago

We call it the sideways snare. That's what I marched this past year.

[–]Turtle_Dove 0 points1 point ago

No mine isn't that small the tiny bass is though -we don't use it we have five bass drums but bass one is tiny bass and bass two is top bass

[–]bucknugget 2 points3 points ago

It was always a joke at my old school. I marched top bass. top bass played a lot of snare-like licks and split a lot with 2, but 2 was always considered the more difficult bass (when you have a good bassline) due to the difficulty of splitting more upbeats and whatnot.

[–]superbecky 1 point2 points ago

I miss my bass drum...I played 2 for three years. The most difficult part about it in my experience was if anyone in our bass drum section was missing, I had to cover their parts.

[–]Semajj 1 point2 points ago

Top bass usually has great than or equal chops compared to the snares.

[–]madmonkeymud 0 points1 point ago

I was in my high school's drum line for one year and we didn't get to make that face; we had to act crazy for the show's theme. So instead of looking focused we had to look like zombies and serial killers.

[–]massivecomplexity 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, but it makes more sense being in the drumline (only of course, the music actually sounds clean as fuck.)

[–]bucknugget 0 points1 point ago

howso?

[–]massivecomplexity 1 point2 points ago

Maybe it's just my band, but our battery music is the shit. When we finished our first show at Dayton for indoor, I wanted to just throw my mallets at the judges. It's so groovy it's not even funny.

[–]bucknugget 0 points1 point ago

I'm just saying, people in the pit are experiencing the same intensity of emotion so "the face" appears in either setting. I marched battery too.

[–]DaBouse 2 points3 points ago

Exactly, my sister calls it her "Performance face"

[–]massivecomplexity 0 points1 point ago

Oh totally. I just was never a keyboard type guy or anything else pit-related. I just think it's funny when I see a guy with a triangle with the most serious face. It makes me laugh every time.

[–]daemonheart777 0 points1 point ago

I love seeing someone with that face it is hilarious...then I look back and remember I am sure I've made that face a few times, in indoor drumline I got the rocket man solo.. I may have been a little excited.

[–]morgantaylorx 0 points1 point ago

Yes!! I had to be in the pit this last year (because I recently moved to Texas, and your first year no matter what grade you're in you gotta be in pit) but I just had tryouts and I'm on the snare now! I freakin love marching band. Texas practices are hot as fuck though.

[–]almjjo 0 points1 point ago

What high school?

[–]morgantaylorx 0 points1 point ago

Memorial High School in Houston

[–]massivecomplexity 0 points1 point ago

Your first year was in pit? Bro you got it easy. My first year was bass 1. Holy crap. It's so fun, but it takes a lot of work to memorize those notes. But our line was probably the best line in a few years. We were splitting threes in no time. I'm on snare too. The twist? I'm in 7th grade. And I'm not kidding when I say they only let the best people in the battery on snare. If I could put the snare music for our indoor show in a pdf and PM you it I totally would.

[–]morgantaylorx 0 points1 point ago

Yeah! I got picked over some juniors. So I was like hell yeah! I think I'm pretty good, but this past year we had this Asian guy and he was AMAZING

[–]morgantaylorx 0 points1 point ago

Btw, I'm a chick, so there's no confusion! Haha

[–]smartzie 4 points5 points ago

Ohman, I miss marching band. Even the polyester uniforms.

[–]DaBouse 1 point2 points ago

You have to admit, those things are warm as shit in the winter.

[–]NcountR 0 points1 point ago

Ya know, now that i think about it. You are absolutely right! I remember putting the drums back into the equipment truck after an away game in late December. It was probably the coldest my hands and feet have ever been. But my body was just as warm as could be. What the hell do they put in those disgusting / smelly / EPIC uniforms?

(we even had the huge SPARTA plumes on our helms)

[–]landrict 1 point2 points ago

Oh man I hate playing brass in the winter! I can't feel my hands when I play.

[–]DaBouse 0 points1 point ago

I blame the collar preventing any air to circulate through and keeping you toasty in the winter and boiling during the summer.

[–]smartzie 0 points1 point ago

That's true. But early in the school year, I thought I was going to die.

[–]bene_gesserit -1 points0 points ago

As a former samurai warrior, and current noodle lord, I have seen this face many a times in silk self portraits.

[–]jezza24 0 points1 point ago

came here for this was not disappoint

[–]Dragonfrog 0 points1 point ago

As a pit percussionist, I can confirm this.

Of couse, most of the percussionists in my group are a bunch of goofs so I see them giving each-other high fives every time they hit a cowbell or a triangle right.

[–]daemonheart777 0 points1 point ago

Hey, we are very serious about our instruments. But I was in pit for 3 years and marched cymbals for 2, and they told us you are going to feel like you look silly, but do it anyways. Now I get to see the faces we made.

[–]raging_asshole 0 points1 point ago

So can you tell me what it is he's doing?

Is it just what it looks like? 2 steel plates with a hinge in the middle, that make a loud CLAP when slapped together?

[–]threwitawaynow 5 points6 points ago

Yeah. And he probably just picked it up 5 seconds ago after playing something else, and will put it back down in another 10 seconds to play something else, all from memory. It requires a lot of concentration.

[–]DaBouse 5 points6 points ago

Welcome to band, if you say we aren't a sport, FUCK YOU!

[–]oSpaZMaNo 1 point2 points ago

My HS band was held higher than any sport in the school...but it helps when you have 7 national championships...lol

[–]DaBouse 2 points3 points ago

I hate you for being held higher, football rules my school. BUT I LOVE YOU FOR HAVING 7 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

[–]daemonheart777 0 points1 point ago

We brought home more trophies than our football team and never got any recognition...unless we put the trophy on the principals desk with a sticky note reminding him there are sports other than football.

[–]the_pro 0 points1 point ago

[–]oSpaZMaNo 1 point2 points ago

Marian Catholic out of Chicago Heights IL

[–]the_pro 0 points1 point ago

Wow! Y'all beat my Alma Mater, Tarpon Springs High! Impressive! I didn't think that was possible, but I AM a bit biased...I was one of the founding members of the current organization. I wish I had more than upvotes to give.

Not really a sport, takes skill though no doubt.

[–]ThisIsAWorkAccount 6 points7 points ago

most likely they're wood, but yeah that exactly. It's used to mimic the sound of a whip.

[–]stokleplinger 1 point2 points ago

You pretty much got it right on the mark, except they're probably just wood.

[–]ThatBronyGuy 1 point2 points ago

They're wood, but yes. It's also fun <:

[–]lexivalentine 0 points1 point ago

He's playing a slapstick! It's makes a whip-like sound; it's doesn't seem very musically important, but it adds nice ornamentation - which ooh's and ahh's the judges - better GE score!

[–]Asterisk007 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, my band director always tells me to clap harder, and its very hard not to make this face

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]DaBouse 1 point2 points ago

Most likely because he moved off a keyboard instrument a few measures ago to grab those. (P.S. you can't march a vibe)

[–]powerlines56324 26 points27 points ago

You can't play the slap stick and not have an intense face. One of the funnest percussion instruments; I rock that shit every year playing Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride".

    Every-damn-time I want to say something, someone has already said it first it seems. Keen eye I must say good sir.

    [–]Brashdoodle 47 points48 points ago

    The passion he injects into each moment of his performance is clear on his masculine face. A simple football game? NO! A stage for him to throw scruples to the wind and break out of his quiet reserve. You hear the tempo rising, the music getting louder. Biting his lip, a look of concentration appears on his face as he assumes a power stance and you know you are about to hear greatness. In one thunderous clap it is over, but that's all it took. The stunned crowd turns to each other unsure how to react. He strides off the field, head held high and pony tail blowing in the wind. The other band members can only watch in awe, hoping to one day master their performances as he has mastered his.

    what are you talking about? the band had the most sex of everybody. i mean, how could you undress eachother, share hours together, and know everything about everything without sex happening? besides, what else do we have to do on the 6 hour bus rides home from competition? nothing like a post-victory sexy session in the back of a bus, amirite?

    [–]DaBouse 4 points5 points ago

    As a percussionist... this is AWESOME!!

    [–]IShireBeTolkien 2 points3 points ago

    God this takes me back to the days of band. I played percussion all through high school and in senior year band was a chill class. When I didn't play I slept in the percussion section, underneath the mallet instruments. One day I'm sleeping away and the band starts a song where the first note is from the slap stick. Fucking fortissimo too (what I call triple forte.) So this guy smacks it as hard as he can a couple feet away from me. I shot up and yelled "OH SHIT!." Except the whole band had rests after the slap stick and heard me being awoken. Everyone stopped playing and just laughed. I loved band.

    TL;DR ZZZZ CLAP OH SHIT HA HA HA

    [–]Pacehouse[!] 0 points1 point ago

    I feel cheated.

    [–]ndnecoal 1 point2 points ago

    Because in High school there were very few standards, if any, to get into the color guard... if you had one that existed. My high school had something like 4 girls who were almost all overweight and lacked any of the fine motor skills required to NOT hit the band members with their flags. How do you think my sousaphone got dented so much? Or my legs so bruised?

    [–]TexasTransplant 1 point2 points ago

    How do you think my sousaphone got dented so much? Or my legs so bruised?

    Did you really mean to put those two together like that?

    [–]ndnecoal 0 points1 point ago

    I swear, the guard was aiming for people. And those flags carry a ton of force when they ran with them (yea our guard ran, they didn't walk quickly or jog, they flat out ran), your legs will be hurt and any large instrument will get hit, it's like the murphy's law of band.

    [–]mobilehypo 0 points1 point ago

    That would be our high school also. I can't really criticize them for being fat, because I gained enough to match them my junior year but when we'd go to competitions we'd always have the ugliest color guard out of everyone.

    Played bass guitar for a season in my highschool's winter percussion. My director made me play this sily thing (slapstick) for the crash intro to our show. I know what it feels like to be expected to perform both muscly and visually with this and it it feels just as awkward as this picture makes it out to look. You just gotta go with it and try your best to look badass if that's what the show calls for. Sorry, only link I could find :\

    He's "performing." It's part of the trade off you get for standing and playing your instrument. That said, fuck yeah slap sticks. Rock.

    I played Lisa's solo on the Simpsons song for my Junior year- my favorite solo EVER. I was a first chair jazz band player too- but had the most fun in marching band!

    Sort of unrelated, but why are band uniforms so universally unflattering? I'm not a fashion-forward person by any means, but I've never seen one I thought looked remotely nice on anyone.

    [–]jlwtformer 2 points3 points ago

    High school music funds are continuously going down the drain, so we can't afford cool uniforms like those worn by DCI or DCA groups.

    [–]always_sharts 0 points1 point ago

    Most high school ones are bad, look up the DCI ones, they are always good.

    I once was told to play the triangle "as if god himself were deciding on the ferocity of your playing face as to whether you should live or not". Next competition, the judge said on tape "that triangle player, he's a scary looking sonofagun"

    I was the leader of the drumline in high school (center snare). We didn't talk to the pit.

    [–]PLOVAPODA 0 points1 point ago

    The pit hates you too. Bastards.
