Just a small thread, if you want to discuss Marching Band and the songs you play!

Oh this is a pleasant suprise. I am in the Dutch Military Academy Tambour Corps, which isn't much more than a Drummer band.

We do occasional performances at civilian festivals (local only) and some national stuff, such as the 'Avondvierdaagse', where we do musical backing of the hikers

At the academy itself we do the obvious military marching music, accompanying anything from platoon to battalion to regiment sise (entire academy). Unfortunately we do not practice much drill so sometimes the quality leaves a little to be desired and especially because of the way the Academy is organised, we get new people once every half year.
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

Where is Sleek
This is his sport

I wouldn't really consider this a sport.. but I guess it is.. staying after for about 2 weeks and practicing.. and sweating.. so I guess it is?

Quote from: Theodin
Sleek somehow only attacks when he’s successfully pulled a dude away and his team is coming to help - as in, the most reasonable time to continue blocking

Sleek plays like he's underwater - slow

I was in a marching band that did competitions with a 240+ band size and we played music like Happy, Carry on my wayward son, and Georgia on my mind.

Does anyone have a source for free music sheets for some tambour marches? We can always use some.
Hell we could trade.
