Blue Devils 2024 7/8 Octaves

this is the first video requirement of the blue devils 2024 video audition. played at eigth note = 168bpm, the instruction are simple and to the point. focus on back finger fulcrum, center of the bar, and consistent volume and timing. I love the height blue devils plays this with, evoking visual presence to accompany the musical forte. its interesting how both BD and Cavaliers have a 78 octaves exercise and they only differ in two measures. maybe with both of these groups winning top 2 at dci perc finals last year this exercise has some merit. or maybe its legacy habit. who knows *shrug*. either way, it is important to have some method of practicing one's scales and why not use 78 since the pitch collection is a set of 7. anyways. hope you enjoy.
