BandFan95 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWHSParent Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share 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.

BandFan95 Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
principalagent Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I graduated almost 10 years ago and I remember seeing it probably half the time throughout high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodlandsMom4ever Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog885 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 On a semi related note, I saw some drum corps have stools for the synth players to sit on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
