Marching Band Software, Corps Band Stuff, Etc...


Recommended Posts

Does your band director use any kind of software to create the drills for the band? (Ours doesn't, because we have a military drill; he writes a drill by hand. Actually, the section leaders do, too, at band camp, which is always fun to watch!) 

I'm just trying to figure out more about how corps bands work, and what they do, etc. Feel free to give me any extra information on what your band does that might be different than military bands. 

Military bands (at least ours) memorizes all of their music, does 6 steps to a yard line with the center of the foot on the yard line, we always march forwards, we have to be in straight lines, we can't bounce, we "glide-step"....and other stuff that I really can't think of right now. 

I know that a lot of corps bands do some of this, and then again, some don't. Tell me what is unique to your band, and all that good stuff!  :)

I know a lot if drill writers use pyware. That's a really good software to use. Also, our band dedicates a military styled show every year to the veterans sometime around Veterans Day, and we spend a week learning and cleaning a whole new show. It's a lot of fun, and we are happy to do it for them.

Wow, I didn’t know y’all did that! That’s really kewl!
