Indoor Drumline

Indoor drumline! If you don't know what indoor drumline is, check out this video; it's like marching band but indoors and with only the drumline. Duh.

That was Atlanta Quest, pretty much the best group in my circuit.

Since I'm about to head to my local circuit championships, I got curious if anyone in this community does indoor. This is my school's second year with an indoor program and we're going to Ohio for world championships this year. Am I gonna see any of you there? (Probably not.)

If you don't do indoor, feel free to discuss marching/colorguard in general. I play bottom bass drum.

I've never gone to a march. I don't play instruments, either. But I'm a big fan of EDM music.

Sounds like an EDM beat. I like it.

no, I do outdoor things
with more instrumentation

and probably less dancing

but yes, they can be cool

What a strange sport. The composition of the piece and of the ensemble baffles me - why so many xylophones?

Looks fun though. I'd never heard of drumline or colorguard/winter guard before this thread.

Indoor drumline sounds like a good way to go deaf fast.

haha sounds
yes, but outdoor drumline with earplugs is a good way to not go deaf. I'm sure there's a happy medium somewhere

As in regular ol' marching band?

The composition of indoor shows is more about showing off the skills of the performers then making a structured song. Also the keyboard-shaped instruments are marimbas, vibraphones, one bell kit, and one xylophone. When your group is made of only percussion, these are the instruments that are used to make pitched sounds.

Anyways, you probably won't find any indoor groups that use earplugs. There's lots of cues you need to listen for, and you can play together a lot easier with no earplugs.

Here's another really good show if anyone's interested:

And at the same time, you can still hear things really well with earplugs. (Maybe not someone shouting at you, but pounding some sort of message on a snare wouldn't be too awful)

yes the regular vanilla
