    Get in shape! Seriously, work your stamina so that you can focus on playing instead of surviving. My first time playing tenors was when I went out for and made a Top 12 DCI drum line. I had always played snare in high school.

    Best of luck!

    Congratulations!!!!!

    Advice? Yes. Sing in the shower.

    That way, when your mom walks by and hears you, she can grab her iphone really quickly, and return to stand outside the door to record you. Blissfully unaware, you fill the bathroom with your gorgeous song, getting in a thorough and effective practice session, feeling super uninhibited because of your assumed privacy, and your mom gets a memento to cherish for life.

    This has never happened before. Just a thought for you. ;-)

    You do realize that in this case, he's not a singing tenor but playing marching tenor drums, right? He could play his drums in the shower though and...

    HaHa!!!! Listen. If you were to talk to me on the phone you'd conclude: a) She's thirteen. b) She's high on sugar.
    c) She's from somewhere in the DEEEEEP South.

    Not a hint in my accent, or vernacular, of the great Minnesota.

    (Last night, as I dangled at a severe angle from some potentially horrifying ride (hadn't ridden it before....turns out it was nothing lol) the guy operating it demanded to know where in the South I had hailed from before he'd start the ride. LOL)

    So, what I'm trying to convey here, is that I'm a counterfeit Minnesotan. :-)

    But tis okay, needle me if you must. ;-)

There's a drum line.....with drums around the neck. And there are drums you hunch over and beat with your hands, really fast, tribal like. (congos, bongos?? lol)

    And Tenors, you see, are male singers in the higher range, Pavarotti like.

    And that has been the sum total of my drum 'knowledge.'

    Kinda sad, huh. LOL Thanks for the video link!

    thought you might like that jewel

    I use to love the North Stars uni's and colors. I have a lot of old hockey cards from the 70's and 80's. They are fun to look at once in awhile, notice the Budweiser sign on the boards blotted out. I'm from northern California and followed the California Golden Seals. The Seals folded and turned into the Cleveland Barons and then they merged with Minnesota after two years. The goalie on the right is Gilles Meloche and I remember seeing him at a game in Oakland when he was on the Seals. Actually there are a few old Seals players in this picture.
