Boston Crusaders 2024 Lead Baritone Soloist Headcam YouTube video by Ryan Ornelas

I usually share percussion-specific videos, but this is the rehearsal headcam video from the Boston Crusaders 2024 baritone soloist (Ryan Ornelas). Beautiful tone and technique.

Enjoy!

Withdrawn: A systematic review of autopsy findings in deaths after COVID-19 vaccination This Article-in-Press has been withdrawn at the request of the Editors-in-Chief.Members of the scientific community raised concerns about this Article…

The author does have a recent Elsevier article (in press) withdrawn for numerous reasons. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It seems that there may be some issues here.

Well, first of all, it is using generative AI. Take note of the image of the person receiving a shot. The person giving the shot has 6 fingers (five fingers and a thumb.) So, the likelihood that the entire article was just made up by an AI seems likely.

If you haven't yet, you'll want to follow Larry the cat. He's the official mouser at #10.

There are some starter packs of profiles to follow ... Those help build your feed. It takes some work, because there are no algorithms feeding you crap.

I still have a lot of work to do to build mine.

The 1959 Leedy field drum restoration is complete - at least for now.

Photo credits: Unknown ... but I suspect the original Cadets photos were taken by the Cadets Media team. Probably by Kevin Carlsen.

No doubt... as millions join BlueSky daily, there is going to be a LOT of this. I got on, started searching for drum and percussion content, and what do you know? What was old is new again! Ha! Sorry for dredging up of an old post/comment.

Hi Tony, feel free to add me to the DCI starter pack. My youngest just aged out (@ BAC) but I've volunteered since my oldest started in 2017. Colts, Cadets, and Boston.

Slingerland Super Set-o-Matic tom holder in the 1976 catalog

I don't know exactly when the movie scene is supposed to take place, but here is the Super Set-o-Matic tom holder in the 1976 Slingerland catalog. It was not in the 1973 catalog. The coated Ambassador heads were around for years prior to 1979 (Remo says 1957) but the logo was different.

Boston Crusaders 2024

Here is a pre-season rehearsal for BAC 2024. The show progressed a lot between this video and DCI finals, but it is sometimes fun to go back and see where it started. Watch the finals run after.

The video quality?? That must be a glitch...

This is a link to a video from Vic Firth of the Cadets final (ever) rehearsal. This was the finals day rehearsal for the 2023 season. The last. We're still trying to come to grips with that.

This was a huge loss to the entire DCI community, and to us personally. FHNSAB.

Here is a short rehearsal snippet of the percussion feature in the Boston Crusaders 2024 show "Glitch". This was very early in the season, so there were a lot of changes and development before DCI finals.
