BandFan95 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I played Timpani all though middle and high school. Not once do I remember seeing them sit down in the pit. When did that become a thing? And why? Quote
TWHSParent Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I remember them in use in the pit on occasion as far back as the 1980's. Others may have longer memories... Here are a couple links from my wife's band in 1989 and 1990, both years with timpani in the pit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8s8i1rOqPw. and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWvvXpRvBJI. Quote
BandFan95 Posted August 27, 2019 Author Posted August 27, 2019 Maybe I wasn't clear..and clearly I wasn't. What I mean was using a SEAT in the pit. WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN? Quote
principalagent Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 I graduated almost 10 years ago and I remember seeing it probably half the time throughout high school. Quote
BandFan95 Posted August 28, 2019 Author Posted August 28, 2019 Well I am way older than that. Just seems new to me. SHOWS HOW MUCH I PAY ATTENTION! Quote
Samuel Culper Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Why the heck are you yelling all the time? Quote
WoodlandsMom4ever Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I thought of this topic when I was watching Cy-Fair last night- their timpani player sat down to play... I even snapped a picture. BandFan95 1 Quote

Dog885 Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 On a semi related note, I saw some drum corps have stools for the synth players to sit on Quote
