Bruh, I don't wanna' look @ the SWAC anymore. :smh: Those old shows... man. The precision. The drive. The concise movements. The musicality. The balance. All that, summa cum laude. I almost hate looking @ the old shows because it makes me wanna' piss on what everyone tries to pass off as "showmanship" these days. :smh:

"Practice makes Perfect", that was their philosophy back then, they practiced until they got it right.

I thought it was "Perfect Practice Makes Perfect". If you practice with mistakes, most likely your performance will have mistakes.

Exactly.

Practice perfection perfectly.

Not only that, you have to improve each time out. If you're doing what you did yesterday, then you're not growing.

Too bad many of us only have that attitude about marching bands.

If you liked that show, you should see the Alabama State show from that season. They drilled to 'Harvest for the World' by the Isley Brothers. It was the collapsing/expanding/rotating circles drill. They drilled the shat out that thang.....

Maybe somebody's gotta a clip...

We did some mean drilling when I was in the Boom, but nothing like that.

:tup::tup:

Straight from the Black Man himself. LOL. That was one of his philosophy with the Jukebox.

The 78 Boom was on some other isht homie. I remember them well. Haughton had them tight!
 



JR, J83, can anyone of you tell me when the director is swinging his hands, what is meaning? I mean, is he trying to keep the band in/on tune? When he's swaying his hands, are they moving the the notes of the music (ex. like when his hand goes up it's for the high notes and when his hands goes down for the low notes)? Or are he just doing that because it looks good in the band world?

I like the way they drilled at the end of their show. They didnt divide into that 2 or 4 quadrant crap that bands do now. When did the bands start doing that anyway?

Mainly to maintain tempo, which mostly is a 4 counts move. He can speed a song up or slow it down just by moving his hands faster or slower. Also, to give the band the signal to play louder or softer and to give the cue when a certain part of a song should begin.

Mostly it's a combination of both - keeping the tempo and emphasizing phrases and key parts of the tune.

The basic conducting motion goes like this: Take your right hand, elbow straight out, forearm/hand 'up' (at or above your face). Count '1' brings your hand straight down, maybe mid-chest. Count '2' begins by sweeping your hand across your body to the left (almost pointing to the left). On count '3' - sweep your arm/hand back across your body to the right (away from your body). And count '4' is the 'up' count, bringing your hand back to the starting position (in front/above your face).

Now, in this clip, when the J-Settes are performing, that's Pop directing. And yes, he flails his arms in a looping motion to help accentuate his conducting. Haughton and Taylor conduct close to the body, while Pop, Gregory and Adams were much more animated....

Hope that helps, Mayne

Haughton is my man and he did have them tight. But, Haughton also had one other thing that made them tight: SIVAD!!!

I hope that everyone else took note of the following SIVAD hallmarks:
  • The only time that the band stopped moving was when the Jaycettes were dancing. They even drilled in the dance number.
  • The DM's never left the field
  • The DMs actually conducted on the field.
  • There was no screaming in the trumpet or mellophone lines. No taking it up an octave. SIVAD would have beaten the stink off them.
  • When the band did dance, the WHOLE BAND danced.
    [*]There was no Get Ready anywhere in the show.

Just good stuff.

Great Post! You omitted one item, The Jaycettes actually danced back then.
