Dress Center Dress!

[deonchan]

Or... Squad ready Set! Or Band Ten Hut! yadda yadda yadda

If you know what any of those commands mean you are probably a band (or d. corps) geek. Are there any band geeks out there? What did you play? How long were you in? Did you make any rank (captain section leader) were you on Band council? Got any stories to share? Or do you know any band geeks out there?

BTW That whole "band camp" thing....












yeah it's true ;D

WTFX... at first i thought these were military commands. slight discrepancies. ie. "squadron, tench hut" and "dress right dress" what's dress center dress?

[potatofreek]

Look at the center person.

[jazmatazz]

hmmm...center, like the person in the middle of the formation? dunno, having a strange time visualizing this. o_<

Dress center dress (or hut it it's an American mace or military DM) = look to the center person and align up with them.
Ready Front (or hut for A.M/Mil) look forward.

I have been looking for a decent example on youtube but have yet to find one.

Note: I teach drum line so we use squad ready set (or dress center)

Example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpJ-0vrQ4-M

note: that's also one of the two lines i teach  ^_^

OOOH, i see i see. yeah, my friend's in band and i'm in the air force; she says we use a lot of the same commands. i find it kinda cool. SO done with marching though, five months of that is good enough for me xD

Heres a simple way to look at it. We will use X as center file.

    O O O X O O O
    O O O X O O O
    O O O X O O O
    O O O X O O O
    O O O X O O O
    O O O X O O O

Dress Center Dress, everyone snaps their head toward, not staring directly, towards center file. then they can use their periphils (spelling is horrid at 2 in the morning) vision to adjust so they arent like

O O O X O O O
O O OX O O O
OOXO OO O

thats bad cover and dress.... XD

[potatofreek]

Yeah it's basically to help people get back in line and stuff.
I have practice this morning, and it's really cold. >.>
