Takes a straight path between (no curving).

To reiterate, the drill is designed such that each performer: As a performer, you must cover the distance between your dots in the same fashion. This is why when the computer animates drill it is perfect. (forgive microsoft paint)Įach time the writer pushes the space bar the dots all progress 1/8 th of the pathway. *notice it is divided into 8 equal distances (approx. *notice this is a straight line, no curved paths. You are given two coordinates and are asked to move between them. This technological update is what revolutionized the learning and execution of drill. The writer clicks the “animate” button and then presses the spae bar 8 times to watch the digital dots move from counts 1-8 one count at a time. With this program every count of every move is diagramed by the computer.Īnd voila! The computer will animate the motion from starting picture to finishing picture. Notice the grid of the field, notice the clearly defined markings, notice all the consistent perpendicular and parallel lines available.

Here is a picture of what the software looks like ( THIS IS IMPORTANT): Pyware 3D Java is the most prevalent program out there. Today, in the laptop age, computer programs are most often used to write drill. (Bonus points for anyone who knows what that word means…and can tell me if I used it correctly! 😉 Whatever shape it took was how the students were told to line up! Band of that era also marched around with timpani and were required to perform a ‘concert’ piece, usually a ballad, at a stand still so we can conclude that these gems are definitely antediluvian in nature.

One neat innovation was a technique using a long small weighted rope and just kind of dropping it on the paper. Drill writing at this stage in the game was done by hand. Watching videos (YouTube it!) from that era you will see slower velocities (until innovated by the Garfield Cadets) and longer curvy drill pictures. You can see how drill execution from this era was best served by a system of guiding to the form and staying in line. That might look like this: Old School Drill (just one yard line!) As developments in technology and resources reinvented the way society and band enthusiasts experience and approach the marching activity so too was drill rapidly influenced.ĭid you know: As late as the 1980’s corps and marching band would take the field and perform shows with just ONE yardline? Just the 50 yard line and NO other marking on the field. Drill writing is an art form that has been evolving for decades.
