How To Have A Successful Marching Band Show

By Katina Brady


The term band is being utilized in many areas. But when a person hears it, the first thing that comes to minds is music. Most groups who are connected to music are always been referred to as bands. They have been giving the people their gifts by sharing their own stories through music. And this is something that has the capacity to impact people in an uplifting manner. Most of the time it is done for the purpose of entertainment.

Many people get confused when they hear about bands and music. This is because there are also different types. There are those that mainly sings, others have to be carrying their own instruments. Then there are just some who are marching with drums and bugles with them. Out of all the three, people find it less appealing to watch a marching band show. If you are a director, you should do your best to showcase a good performance.

Most of the marching bands are often kids from various high schools. But there are still those that are also professionals in the business. They are often hired during big football games and in several shows. There are many types of bands which goes to show that there are also different skills needed to make a certain show successful.

Not all people are thrilled when they see marching bands. Some do not even what to go through the whole routine. And then there are groups in some parts of the world who have managed to capture the attention of the crowd. You should aim for this as well. You need to have the right personality to achieve this and of course, a little guidance.

One of the things to remember is the fact that all of you are different. You will never be the same. And if you take note of that, you can easily designate the roles to the members who would do well for their part. This is also needed to make sure that you can all move in a synchronized manner if you need to.

There must be a concept of theme for the show that you are creating. Finding the perfect theme to guide you through all of your routines would be hard if it is just you thinking about it all. It is important that you let the other members on the quest as well so that you can determine it faster.

Blueprints are necessary because, it would help you and the others determine which is the best way to achieve the formation. And it would be beneficial for the rest of the team because they would know where they will go and how will they go there. It would also be best if you include the details with all the movements.

There are transitions and these happens when they have to change formation. It is important that you change your formation every now and then. This means that the transition would have to be fast. Experts say that it should be lesser than one minute to build the anticipation of the crowd.

There are times that you are too absorbed with planning the routines that you forget to think of the best tempo and beats to integrate with it. There must always be connection. This is what makes or breaks the show and it will ensure that the entire show will be appreciated.
