bridge melody have a lot in common with like a Beyonce tune. 00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:28.480 So if you think about Crazy in Love, for example, mm-pa-da-ba-da-m ba-da-ba-da-da. 00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.839 But like it's it's very ba da da da da da da. 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:33.200 Country girl's the same thing. 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.640 Babu da bauda bauda boo da boo da boa da bum ba bo. 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:41.039 Like it's very almost the same tempo, even, and it just it keeps going. 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:46.319 Now, I would argue that Country Girl actually has more pitch contrast. 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:52.480 Like it moves around more within there, but because of that, it's more challenging, right? 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.480 When it's the same kind of like five notes and you're just kind of chewing around them, piece of cake. 00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:02.640 But yeah, Jeff doesn't like it because it's too many notes and it's kind of low and it crawls up high, and it's just it's weird. 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.839 The chorus, though, the chorus is a banger, certifiable. 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:06.880 Brett, what's next? 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:08.000 What's what's another question? 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:09.359 Hit us with another one. 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:12.400 We have one from a a Jalen. 00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:17.279 Says, Hi, huge dream to be the best in the best marching band ever. 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:20.480 My question is, do you guys have discipline? 00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:23.279 And if so, how do you guys initiate it? 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:24.960 Love you, Fidon. 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:27.119 Do we have discipline? 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:28.240 I don't know. 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:29.920 We're pretty loosey goosey. 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:30.880 I was gonna say. 00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:32.880 I'm not to be trusted, generally. 00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:37.680 It's pretty, it's pretty core to our our brand. 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:51.680 But I do I do uh get on the students a lot about the dichotomy of like we come marching in and so it's like the cadence is going the cheers, and I think that's where the discipline shows itself, right? 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:58.480 Because the students are very hard on each other when they're like uh if someone's not doing the cadence call outs right, they're like, What are you doing? 00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:59.680 You have to do this, like this is. 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.119 The thing, you know? 00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:07.359 And then certainly the drumline with the cadence, like they take it very seriously to, you know, really perform it and do it. 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:14.880 And they need to be good at it because they have to be able to like move and wander around while playing with it, which is very difficult, having now done it a couple of times. 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.599 Like it's not, it's not easy to just kind of like get information while playing it. 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:28.960 But

then I do get after them a lot about sort of this dichotomous, like, okay, you're coming in, we hit the five-count halt, and you just have to be a statue. 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:36.480 And then we do the fight songs, and it's very rigid, very, you know, very traditional marching band, very college band, right? 00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.000 It still has like cheers and sounds within the fight song, which is pretty common. 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:46.240 And then we hit the the beat cadence after, and it's like we're broken back out into that fun, engaging sort of band. 00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:47.839 But I think that's what makes us special, right? 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:48.960 Is that we are engaging. 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.279 Yes. 00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:50.319 We're with the people. 00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:51.119 Yeah. 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:53.599 That's that's the whole, that's the bit. 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:55.039 That's the whole bit right there. 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:55.519 Yeah. 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.759 But you do lose you you do lose it's it's a it's a scale, right? 00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:06.000 So it's like, okay, if we do that, well then some days where we need them to like really lock in and get it done, like that can be difficult. 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:16.000 But I will say that this this batch of students, like every year kind of post-pandemic, the students I think are more and more of that ilk, willing to like hunker down and and get it done. 00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:18.799 So yeah, I guess that's I I guess that's my answer. 00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:21.440 What a ri what a what a cool question. 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.400 Thank you. 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:24.160 That's it. 00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.039 That's it? 00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:26.240 Pretty much, yeah. 00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:26.640 All right. 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.200 Well, Casey, you had a thought, something you wanted to chew on today. 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:31.200 What did you want to chew on today? 00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:34.079 What did I want to chew on today? 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:36.319 Well, you know, it's the we just had midterm elections. 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:37.759 Here, we'll make it political. 00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:41.759 I said midterm examinations to be clear. 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:43.200 I'm just okay. 00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:44.720 Let me pump the brakes. 00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:46.240 We just had midterm elections. 00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:48.880 Uh, the students are just finishing up their midterms. 00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:52.400 Um, we're we've done a number of these episodes. 00:23:52.480 --> 00:24:10.160 So, Casey, you wanted to So what's our if because it's the three of us, the the brain trust behind the the thing, why don't we take a couple minutes to talk about what we've noticed so far about the recordings, about the podcast. 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.119 We're on episode 11 or 12 now. 00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:24.960 Uh we've got way more planned for this season and for spring leading up to culminating in the Trojan Spirit Streamathon. 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:25.440 Sure. 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:33.519 So now let's take a this is like uh the halfway through our first quarter, if we were a terrible institution across town that had a quarter system. 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.000 Right. 00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:39.200 Uh what's your thoughts, Brett? 00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:46.880 Your thoughts on our performance so far and what what we may want to change. 00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:55.839 Um I think uh you should talk less. 00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:59.039 We know I'm boring. 00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:00.559 Well, but you're boring too. 00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:01.519 So it's true. 00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:02.720 We are both boars. 00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:07.039 Um no, I think uh I think it's been going pretty well. 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:08.559 I think I would love some feedback. 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:12.720 I we had this discussion when we started whether this was too inside baseball. 00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:24.079 Do you want more hard music, you know, marching band techniques, like really get into that, or do you like us farting around? 00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:26.640 I think that's something that I would like to know more of. 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:34.559 I mean, to be honest, the podcast has exceeded my expectations as far as viewership and listenership. 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:39.039 So I'm happy about that, and it has stayed pretty consistent. 00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:42.720 Um it remains to be seen what happens after this episode. 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:45.359 But uh, I think we've uh This is it. 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:49.839 No, this one, this one's gonna we're gonna bang hell on this one. 00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:51.279 Yeah, they're gonna say, you know what? 00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.079 They're not boring. 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:53.519 More Casey and Brett. 00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:54.640 Yeah, more boars. 00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:56.319 They're not boring, and it's so nice to see. 00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:58.079 And look at that beard, you know. 00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:01.200 See, now now that we're faces and not just cheapies. 00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:02.240 Yeah. 00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:07.119 No what it so someone would be more reticent to be critical. 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:14.319 Because certainly internet anonymity would would never cause somebody to overly criticize someone else. 00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:15.519 That's funny. 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:17.200 I uh I agree with you, Brett. 00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:18.319 I want to hear from people. 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:26.160 Um, because along that line, one thought I had is it because we got semi-granular with the type of show, right? 00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:32.799 Because we have like the the halftime show post-op, and we did that because we knew we had so many shows back to back to back to back. 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:37.359 So it's like we knew we had

content we could lean on pretty easily, right? 00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.400 And then with the road trip trips, then we've got Elise coming in to kind of like how'd it go? 00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:42.960 What'd you do? 00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:45.119 Did you enjoy your time, so on and so forth? 00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:56.160 Um, but I'm almost wondering, like, as we move ahead to the spring, like, is there like is there topics or is there something folks want us to cover with Elise that's different, right? 00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:58.319 Do they want us to like talk that way? 00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:16.960 Do they want not just like episodes of the show to have different focus, but is it now are we gonna like bifurcate and have like two instead of these longer shows, like have two episodes a week that are like th one's more in the weeds, the marching man nonsense, and then one's like the fiddle farting around or talking to Elise or something of that nature? 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:20.880 Or is it if someone's really interested in the drill and music writing? 00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:28.799 Because I know this has come up in stream-a-thons before, people keep telling me I should Twitch stream when I'm writing music, or should Dante do the same thing writing drill? 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:33.680 Because people are interested to learn and watch the process as it comes. 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:36.240 So I'd be sitting here, and now I have the power. 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:37.839 Now I know what to do, Casey. 00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:44.319 I could be sitting here, you know, writing God knows what I'd be writing, and then people can watch it and learn. 00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:44.640 I don't know. 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:45.599 So we want to hear from the people. 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:46.880 What do the people think, right, Brett? 00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:48.160 I think that's what you're getting after. 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:50.160 Yeah, let's get some feedback. 00:27:50.400 --> 00:28:03.599 I I have a so the whole reason behind this question from me, I have uh one data point, which is a biased data point, but it is the other person I've watched this podcast with. 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:04.160 Mrs. 00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:04.880 Budby. 00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:06.799 That's correct. 00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:14.880 And some of the like she's she loves the whole show because we're in it and she loves us, which is great. 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:16.319 And we love her. 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:26.160 But I've I've noticed that there are there are times where I'll have to pause the episode to explain something. 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:34.559 And I'll give a fur I'll give a for instance, and this is a uh generalization of a type of thing I've had to talk to her about. 00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:48.000 When you were talking uh it was Dante was talking about doing the the whole voyage to Penn State uh in the SUV with Troy. 00:28:49.359 --> 00:29:12.079 And there will be times where, and it's not it's not by any means, it's not just Dante, it's all it's ever I've seen all of us do it, we'll say something like that where we know who those who these people are, we know what this musical technique is, we know what any number of things are, because we're in it. 00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:31.039 If someone is brand new, fresh, they don't know who Troy is, they don't know who Jackie Gibson is, they don't know who so like part part of the things that I was thinking was Troy, our DPS escort, former Trumpet section leader Jackie Gibson, right?
