Marching Band Formations

Keeping in shape is the responsibility of every player at the time of the exercise display Marching Band. To be able to "keep the shape", a player must understand the concept of distance, step width, flow path and the benchmark. Here we describe each item one by one.

1. The concept of distance in question is the ability of a player to take into account the distance to his friend in a row. For example, if a line has a distance "two-step", it means the distance of each person is 1.1 meters (counting each step of the standard is 56.25 cm).

2. The width of the steps taken by each player must be constant in taking from chart to chart. There will be many problems when taken major steps in the beginning and then decreases when approaching the destination, and vice versa.

3. The flow path in question is the direction running while traveling from chart to chart. Most of the flow path is a straight groove. When a player does not walk straight from point A to point B, there will be problems of distance.

4. Benchmark. Players need to know who / what will be used as a guide to move so that the distance is not chaotic. Creating a benchmark on the shape of the curve is not equal to the benchmark at the time of straight shape. When the shape of the curve, one must pay attention to the angle between him and the 2-3 people who used as a benchmark to estimate the arch shape.

Some of the things we need to prepare them:

1. Prepare a theme that we will use. Usually associated with the moment at hand.

2. Prepare a display form that will be made, whether in the form of a letter, word or just a mediocre form a line.

3. Describe the display forms on paper, from the first to last. The more the shape it will be more attractive again the movement of players.

4. Prepare a song that will bring forth, usually I always show the song associated with the event at hand.

5. Keep the movement of the display is not separated from the elements existing Marching Line Regulation.

6. Consider a grace period to exercise up to the staging whether enough time to train display and combines it with a song.

7. Motivation keeps the players at practice and try not reduced in number, because if there is frequently absent from the exercise will affect the display that we have designed.

8. Calculate the size of the place that we will use to perform, its length and width.

9. Use cones commonly used sports to determine the limits of movement of players.

10. Regular exercise with a good program will get good results.

11. Evaluation continues its results at the end of each workout.
