gavinrh Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Why do they not have one? Because I was watching their show, and there's no tenor drum. Anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerkid418 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) I've never noticed that before. Interesting. The only other band I know of that doesn't march tenors is Broken Arrow (and Tarpon Springs of course.) What are the advantages/disadvantages to not having tenors?

mbui Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Westfield also didn't march tenors in 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other band I know of that doesn't march tenors is Broken Arrow (and Tarpon Springs of course.) What are the advantages/disadvantages to not having tenors? A common opposition to having tenors on the field is that in a dome stadium, the tenor sound tends to get lost. Think about all those Grand National recordings and listen for the tenor line. It's definitely hard to hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springbassliner26 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Spring didn't use tenors this year. And, I gotta say, I actually kinda like it. Everything we play seems alot cleaner for some reason. But I'm not really sure about advantages/disadvantages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewing09 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 didnt haltom 04 keep switching to having alotta snares to having alotta of tenors in the show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpod Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 didnt haltom 04 keep switching to having alotta snares to having alotta of tenors in the show? Yes, grasshopper. Haltom's third movement in 2004 consisted of a six-man tenor feature (Although, there were times when it was only five or four people). Their last movement consisted of a nine-man snare line.

barisaxy08 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 i remember noticing that Westfield didn't march tenors in 03...and when i asked about that...my directors said that the tenors sound would echo thru the RCA Dome quicker than any other sound and would possibly throw off the tempo for the other marchers if they heard them or something like that...so they didn't want to take any chances...so maybe that may be a reason. I dunno...it was a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
