Drill was roll-step, Diamond M Set and march off the field was high-step.

Posted: Tue Sep 07, 2010 4:10 pmWhat is "roll-step"? It isn't that tippy-toe step that ruined high school bands is it?

The mistake that lead to the chaos in the second song actually takes place at the end of the first song. Whoever shot this video turned off their camera before the first song ended. And so it doesn't show how most of the two most south west lines were on the wrong yard line. The camera starts back up during the second song and you can see several of the boxes bumping into each other. And the box on the 50 yard line is in two distinct halves. The fun starts at about the 1:30 mark.

"Roll step" = glide step....in other words no high knee lift.

As an "old school" guy, all I can say is that although Tech had severe problems with their drill, they went back to to their roots with the Matador March and what made the "GOIN' BAND FROM RAIDER LAND" what it was. Their salute to their legendary band director Dean Killion was admirable.
TRADITION IS WHAT COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS ALL ABOUT.

Posted: Tue Sep 07, 2010 9:54 pm2:00 to 2:12 - Looks like the freshman plants did their jobs.
Question: 3:40 mark or so - does the TT band spell "Tech" or is it "HGH"? I couldn't tell from the camera angle, and am wondering whether they are endorsing use of PEDs.
