***ATTENTION! DRILL
DOWNLOAD NOW AVAILABLE!!! One of the most exciting challenges
to be met at the upcoming camp (April 29-30) is to teach and learn
most of (if not all of), the visual portion of our show. A great
deal of thought, brainstorming, editing and coordination have gone
into developing what we feel is an excellent vehicle for presenting
our musical ensemble and the color guard. Because we had planned on
having very little time to teach and perfect our project, we
designed the show to be exciting and interesting without an undue
amount of difficulty. The design blends current and old school drill
concepts into a package that supports our strong musical and color
guard books and is effective visually as well.
The materials for the visual portion of the show are now ready to be
downloaded!! Please click on each of the following .pdf files to download,
save and print. Next,
bring them with you to April camp. (If you are unable to print the
documents, we will have a very limited number of copies available at camp.)
Everyone: Please take a few minutes to learn your symbol and number,
and follow yourself through the drill. It would be helpful to highlight
or circle yourself. We don't expect anyone to be able to march their
drill perfectly the first day. But the more familiar everyone is with
the basic ideas in the visual program, the more efficiently we'll be
able to rehearse.
Everyone: You'll notice some pages are missing. Not to worry, we
removed a few subsets which were not necessary to have charted. This
also keeps down the size of the .pdf file for faster downloading.
Brass players: Unless specified otherwise, horn/upper body facings
are 10°-box.
As you were MEN!!!
