Hope this helps, mad respect btw for being so involved with your neices hobys, wish my uncle was like you👍🥁🏳
Hey friend.
Maybe over the summer, hit some books over leadership. Band really is a great place to learn and apply leadership skills.
Some books I recommend:
Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink
How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie
I can't recommend Extreme Ownership enough, though. If you take extreme ownership of your section they'll respect you a million times more than they already do. When they respect you that much more, they're that much more likely to not put you in bad positions anymore.
Edit:
I've gotta add that it'd be good to listen to some podcasts and videos by leaders, too. Since I'm already talking about Jocko Willink, he has a TED talk, too. Here's a link.
Hey G413i3l,
It's nice to meet you and great question. Before I talk about the functionality behind our UPP Pad, I thought that it'd be important to state that this pad is just a supplement to our mission: We want to enable drummers to play/practice anywhere. We plan to role out other products in the future.
In terms of the functionality, take a look at the description within our product listing on either Amazon or our Main Site:
https://movementdrum.co/products/the-ultra-portable-practice-pad
https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Portable-Practice-Pad-Black/dp/B01F320XLK
The functionalities of our products and the other pads that you've used probably have some overlap, but we wanted to create a pad that makes the most sense for our mission.
We have a video of it being used in our instagram feed: movementdrumco
Let me know if you have any other questions- feel free to PM me directly.
Two words: bari harness
I play and have marched clarinet, bass clarinet, alto, and bari and this harness makes bari a lot easier and comfortable.
I trust this strap with my life. It has never broken and has worked just fine for the entire year I’ve been using it. It still shows no signs of letting me down.
I've used SABRE, they make a gel that's really good too. Personally I carry a knife and a kubaton and pepper spray, but I've seen the gel in action and it's really good.
Or if you wanna go budget, you can buy a 4pack of pepper spray for like 50$, I'll edit with a link
first one
two pack of the same product
I use these: Achiou Touchscreen Knit Gloves... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077M5Q6FG?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I love these. They are grippy on the front side, just thick enough to be warm, but not too thick to make life suck. I march French horn (not mellophone) and they work great for me.
What kind of neckstrap are you using? I would suggest using a bari sax harness. It takes the weight off your neck.
This is a great one I use.
Neotech 2501162 Soft Harness, Black, Swivel Hook https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002E1NS2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_mAUKzb8C8Z69D
Friend of mine who found it on amazon
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XW11JH4
I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00247U1X8/ for myself after 30 years playing on a Holton 680.
I've been very impressed with it for the price. It's a Bach clone, .547 bore, open-wrap F-attachment.
Nah, this practice pad is a million times better. Don't waste your money.
Does this look like it might fit it?
This is what we use to keep them clean and polished for the most part: https://www.amazon.com/Wrights-Polishing-All-Purpose-Stainless-Porcelain/dp/B000WHXQWK
Ah yes, a Dr. Beat met.
If you value the use of your neck/back for God’s sake buy a Harness .
Current Band Director, I would highly recommend this book. Helped me get through my nerves as a freshman music major in college.

Did you know that if you have one of those leather ligatures with the one twisty tighteny thing, you can balance it on your stand or finger by that one tightener thingy and it’s a great way to scare directors, section leaders, techs, and generally anyone.
This style of ligature: https://www.amazon.com/Vandoren-LC21P-Ligature-Clarinet-Interchangeable/dp/B000EEJ3KK
Protec PBTRIALT Alto Saxophone, Clarinet, Flute Combination TRI-PAC Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BAMOUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_N2-LDbQHC5771
It's the GoPro Hero3 Black. For brass I used the GoPro Headstrap and for the woodwinds I used the GoPro Chest Harness. Also for the Marimba and Vibes I used the GoPro Roll Bar Mount
Seriously, my disks in my lower back shifted because I was a 5 foot tall little high school girl who was guilted into marching with a sax that was almost as tall as I was. With certain activities I still get moderate back aches as an adult. Our first chair had this brilliant harness that might help.
