This is my first blog... so don't complain if its stupid as heck.
OKAY! The MAIN thing that I want to do is talk about the local middle school Drum Corps.
I'm experienced in drums so i'm gonna number them down to ONE.
SOOO. starting at #5 is Fischer Middle School Drum Corps
This is probably the smallest drum corps I've
ever seen. This school is in a district that specializes in musical arts... and you can pretty much hear it in this video. You can clearly hear the talent, but i should give you a few pointers
- Pull up the snares... you can adjust the strap...
- STOP CRUMPING IN THE BACKGROUND BASS DRUMMERS... keep it light... don't dance that weird on the stage.
- And finally... GET MORE DRUMMERS.
Well... I know you cant hear the drums that well, but I was actually there that day trying to write stuff down about the DC... and they have some very good things about them...
FOR EX.
They have a lot of drummers.. even though size doesn't matter.
And they have the form "ABACABA" down.
ABACABA is a drumming form that is pretty easy in my opinion.
A tip:
- ABACABA tends to get a little boring so dont always use it.

At #3 is Kate Middleton Elementary
Okay... I had no idea that this was an elementary school til I read the subtitles. The elementary school is the ones with the yellow shirts. I know this subject is on MIDDLE school drum corps, but they were pretty good.

Going against them in this video making the #2 spot is Livaudais Middle School.
These guys in the white shirts are really good. They show real good potential to be in an actually drum corp. Me myself preforming in skilled drum classes gives me enough power to say that you are REALLY GOOD.

And the most talented drum corp out of all five coming in at #1 is Joseph George Middle School Drum Corps (The Green Machine)
THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING! They sure know how to play drums... I was blown away by how disciplined they are. They even have uniforms! Its also crazy how they call themselves the
"Green Machine" They deserve that name...
They are very well organized and are in perfect sync.
These kids deserve a better playing environment.
Even if they already have a good music room. I went to there school to see the drum corp in person. And the crazy part is that all there music including their symphonic band, choir, even beginning band were amazing! Around 2013, their going to preform at city hall... Keep it up Green Machine! You are Legends to me!
(give a special thanks to retired music teacher Mr. Eugene Smith for his amazing efforts to make JG middle school's music a success.)
