shortypinay Registered: 12/30/03 Loc: San Diego	My school has a VERY VERY new drumline and were lucky to have 5 this year. And hopefully more once school starts and we get a hold of some freshmen who want to join. But that's really good compared to last years 2.... Haha... 2 people playing together on 1 xylophone.... that's it... _________________________ FA LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

CrazyonMallets blanks Registered: 08/28/04 Loc: Levittown, PA, 19057	This would be my fourth year in a High school Pit. We only have 4 people in ours. But... Technically its just me and our Timp Player. We have one girl with MS that cant move her wrists, and can barely move her arms, so, she cant do much percussion wise. And We have a Guard member turned Percussionist, so, shes not doing very well. Im Playing marimba, Vibes and Auxillary. The Girl With MS is on Auxillary, and the Guard Member is on Xylo. Its small, but, Im happy with it. That just means that there are more intricate and Complex Parts for me.

I think this year we have 13 in pit ours beats yours...we have 20!! we get a little crowded sometimes, I hope it is a little smaller next year. some of the people don't even play percussion, they are clarinets, flutes or strings that wanted to be in marching band, but couldn't.

I think this year we have 13 in pit dude...we had 11. plus, we're just the biggest in our area. There are other bands in the state that are every bit as big as we are. _________________________ "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream.

Bernie_VKpit Registered: 03/12/04 Loc: Chicago, IL	What is the purpose of having 20-25 in the pit? Enlighten me. _________________________ I marched drum corps in 93,94 and part of 95 I played snare in a very famous college marching band and winter drumline (hint - they won PIW in 2005) [color:"red"]Screw you Johnny Demon![/color]

CrazyonMallets blanks Registered: 08/28/04 Loc: Levittown, PA, 19057	Wow... Pits are NOTHING like that around here. The most ive seen around here is about 10 Tops... How many instructors do you have with that many people?! Personally, I have 3 1/2 people in the pit. (drum major plays Vibes for a song), and we dont have an instructor, but, I would imagine that a 25 person pit would atleast have one instructor... Also, with that kind of equiptment, how many band parents/Runners to you have? We might have 5 on a good day to help set up.
