More Great Information on Silver March:

Stationary Commands - Fundamentals of Marching Band Maneuvering   by Ary Martin

Marching Band is the most enjoyable, rewarding, and valuable activity that one can participate in during high school. Where else do people move around a field making pretty patterns that they read from little "X's" in a book while playing intense music and never looking at the ground?

However, a good foundation in marching fundamentals is essential to a marching band. Below are some pointers for the Drum Major seeking to teach marching to freshman marchers. This is the way I teach commands and the method may be somewhat or substantially different from the way your band operates.

Attention
This is the most basic and important maneuver of Marching Band. It makes or breaks the general effect score for most field shows. First, the band starts in a "standby" position, with their heads straight ahead, hands left clasping right wrist, and feed shoulder width apart. The command to start attention is "Band Ten Hut" and the response is "hut." In one count, the left foot snaps into the right, with heels and toes aligned. Hands form into loose fists with the thumbs on top, pointing straight. Arms should bend slightly and be positioned on the seam of ones pants about half way between a hanging position and the bend that occurs when hands are placed on the waist. Eyes point straight ahead and knees are not locked. The chin tilts about fifteen degrees up from a parallel position.

With instruments only the hand position changes. For brass, mouthpieces should be aligned at a uniform level, typically at the third valve hole, with arms bent and horns placed about six inches away from the body. Flutes hold horns perpendicular to the ground. Saxes are completely parallel and the neck strap is still worn. Tubas place one hand on the mouthpiece while the other remains on the valves. Clarinets move the horn about six inches from the body and hold it perpendicular to the ground. Drumline either crosses their sticks (tenors and snares) or holds them on the sides of the drums (basses). Guard holds flags straight up.

Parade Rest
The parade rest command is important when waiting for judges to let the band start a performance. It is also useful when waiting for a parade to begin. The command is "band parade rest" and the response is "chuh." The body goes from an attention position to parade rest in one count. The left foot moves to shoulder width, arms come out of fists and the left hand holds the right wrist. The right hand now re-makes the fist. Heads come down from attention to pointing straight ahead.

With instruments only the hand crossing changes. All horns should hold the instrument with their right hand and place the left hand back on the right wrist. Horn bells should point right. Horns should be parallel to the ground. For flutes or clarinets, place the horn in the crook of the right arm and hold it with the left hand. Saxes cross their horns from the left shoulder to the right hip. Tubas simply drop their hands from the mouthpieces. Drumline members uncross sticks and hold one in each hand behind their drums. Guard lowers their flags and either hold them in a flute position or sax position.

Drag Left
A drag is essentially a stationary turn. Left drags are the easiest of these turns. The command is "drag left hut" and the response is "and 1, 2, 3, lock." The left foot moves to the left on count one to form a forty-five degree angle with the feet, but the body does not move. On count two, the right foot meets the left foot and the body moves. This is repeated for counts three and four and the body and feet end up moving ninety degrees. Feet should be lifted very slightly in order to complete a clean turn. Do not slide the feet along the ground.

Drag Rear
A drag rear is an expanded drag left. Instead of forming forty-five degree angles with each count, one forms ninety-degree angles. The body continues to move only on counts two and four. The command is "drag rear hut" and the response is still "and 1, 2, 3, lock."

Drag Right
A drag right uses the same counts, command, and response. However, instead of picking the foot up, the toes now stay planted and the heel of each foot makes forty-five degree angles. Starting with the left foot on count one, move it forty-five degrees right, then move the right foot to the left on count two. Repeat the procedure to move ninety-degrees to the right. It is imperative that the toes do not lift from the ground.

There are no rear drags that involve right turns. A drag is a stationary move, however, whatever action was occurring before the drag continues after the drag is complete.

Dressing
Dressing can be accomplished left, right, and center. Each command will be "dress left/right/center dress" and the response is "one two." On count one of the move, hands move to a trumpet horns up position. In other words, the left hand closes over the right fist and the arms make a ninety-degree angle. On count two, the head moves completely either to the right or the left, in the direction of the dress command. The Drum Major will give a second or two to adjust and dress the lines. Move to fix both dress and cover at this time. A centerline may be designated. If this happens, dress to that line, moving the head to the correct direction. People standing in the file that is being dressed to bring their hands up, but do not move their heads.

Drumline should, instead of making a ninety-degree angle with their hands, hold the arms parallel with the ground and make a fist with the right hand that the left hand holds. You can only call a dress from attention.

With instruments, there is no movement on count one, but the head still moves on count two.

Ready Front
The only way to get out of a dress is to call "ready front" and the response is "one two." On count one, the arms come down to attention position. On count two, the head snaps back to attention.

With instruments, nothing happens on count one, while heads snap back on count two.

Band Halt
This command stops the band. Call "band halt" and the response should be "one two." On count one the right foot takes its last step. The left foot meets the right foot and motion stops on count two.

Horns Up
The command is "band horns up" and the response is "and up." This is a two count move where horns move from attention to playing position. The "and" count is prep only; movement occurs on beat two. Trumpets should have their hands form a right angle, while the bell points about thirty degrees up from parallel. The valves can be slightly tilted to create an interesting effect. Flutes should hold their horns completely parallel to the ground. Clarinets move the bottom of their horns about twenty degrees away from the body. Saxes should make sure that their horns are perpendicular to the ground and away from the body. Mellophones and baritones hold their horns completely parallel to the ground. The tuba player places his hand on the mouthpiece and pushes the tuba slightly up.

Horns Down
Rarely called, "horns down" calls for an "and down" response. The "and" is another prep beat, horns snap back to attention on the "down" beat.

The Error Command
This command is used by some bands to keep both the band and Drum Major honest. It is a fun command to throw in to any sequence. Preface any drill down by saying that unknown commands could be called or commands could be called in an inappropriate sequence. For example, the Drum Major could have the band at parade rest and then call a dress right. This is not possible because the band must be at attention for a dressing command. Thus, the band ignores the new command and calls "as you were sir." It keeps everyone on his or her toes.

In Sum and Other
There are many moving commands that the band should also master. Another article covers these commands. As far as stationary commands, there is present arms and order arms for salutes; left, right, and about haces for snap turns; and half haces to be even more confusing. Frankly, there are few resources to find how to call commands or how to march. I would ask the current director or Drum Major for assistance. Also, consider going to a Drum Major camp. Some camps are good, others are not, but most should help you with your marching.

This list of commands is completely my own; I used no resources or Internet sources just my own knowledge to compile it.

Is Dynasty marching baritone a bad brand to order offline?

I have recently heard that dynasty baritones do not hold up very well at all.

so can you give me some links to an online store that sells SILVER marching baritones for at MOST 1000 dollars??

thanks :D

I've been a dynasty endorser for several years and have always been impressed with the quality of both the horns and percussion instruments. Not sure where you got your information from. :P

As many drum corps use Dynasty, there really aren't more demanding use cases out there. Conns are worth the money too, really rich tone.
