1 FRONT ENSEMBLE Handbook Thank you for your interest in STRYKE Percussion’s front ensemble! Our objective is to educate youth about music and to pursue a high level of musical performance. In the following pages you will find information that will prepare you for audition camps as well as throughout the winter season. Audition Information Auditions can be busy and slow at first; please be patient. We will do our best to help you learn as much as possible. Likewise, in order for rehearsals to run smoothly, you’ll need to prepare all of the exercises with their variations and be able to play them in various tempos. Also, be open to change. Our approach is not the only one, just the one that works well for us. We are not attempting to change the way you play in your band or ensemble, but if you want to be part of this ensemble, you have to adapt to our technique and style of playing. Prepare a solo or an excerpt: We ask that you prepare a short section of a solo on your choice of instrument (marimba, vibraphone, percussion). Pick a solo that will demonstrate what you are capable of and hopefully not something that is beneath your abilities and yet obviously not something you can’t handle. It is in your best interest to play a solo that you have been working on or have worked on before. Know that we look for more than your ability in your solo, but also your performance as a mature musician. At the end of Auditions, each player will receive individual feedback from one of the techs and we will discuss how to better prepare you for upcoming/continuing Auditions. Practice sightBreading: Be prepared to sightRread. Throughout the season the front ensemble will be getting several exercises, etudes, and of course, show music including possible rewrites and edits to the show. In order for things to run smoothly and quickly you must have a good understanding of sightRreading. A good tip is to practice reading new music every day. Begin with easy music that you can read while playing at a slow to moderate tempo. Then change the level of music difficulty. SightR reading music is the same as reading a book out loud; the more you read the easier it becomes. Learn your key signatures: Know all 12 major and minor key signatures. This is a must for all musicians! This will make it easier to sightRread and more comfortable for you to play on your instrument. The best way to learn your key signature is to understand the circle of fourths and/or fifths. During the season we will further educate you with key signatures and scale modes. Practice with a metronome: A key element to successful rehearsing in the ensemble is the use of a metronome. In order for the ensemble to develop a consistent sense of time and rhythmic interpretation, every member of the ensemble must be familiar with this device. You should spend some time practicing without a metronome, but most of your time should be spent using one. Don’t teach yourself to play something the wrong way by not using a metronome. Also, use the metronome as a tool; do not use it as a crutch. An obvious sign of a good player is someone who can keep good timing with or without the metronome. Confidence is important: Other people may be better at reading or memorizing. Everyone has our strengths and weaknesses. Show us your strength and we will help with your weakness; this is part of the educational process we believe in. Try to stay relaxed, learn and more importantly, have fun. Please feel free to ask any questions.

The 4 Strokes

The 4 strokes provide definition to the approach on any marching percussion instrument. They help percussion sections unify heights and dynamics from instrument to instrument. Both the front ensemble and the battery use these 4 strokes. The strokes consist of: The Full Stroke; The Down Stroke; The Tap Stroke; and The Up Stroke.

The Full Stroke:

The Full Stroke should be started in the Up Position. With a relaxed grip, the player should turn his wrist and bring the bead down and strike the playing surface. When turning his wrist the player should allow the arm to move naturally with it, avoiding any tension in the arm. When the bead strikes the head, the player should let the stick rebound back to the up position. The player should make sure never to stop the motion of the stick until it is in the up position. Multiple full strokes will create a Legato motion. 8's is a good exercise to practice the Full Stroke and the Legato motion.

The Down Stroke:

Like the Full Stroke, The Down Stroke should be started in the Up Postition. With a relaxed grip, the player should turn his wrist and bring the bead down and strike the playing surface. When turning his wrist the player should allow the arm to move naturally with it, avoiding any tension in the arm. When the bead strikes the head, the player should do one of two things.

1. Stop the stick in the Down Position.

2. Let the stick rebound to the Tap Height.

The tap height should be 3" unless otherwise stated.

Accent Tap is a good exercise to practice the Down Stroke.

The Tap Stroke:

The Tap Stroke should be started at the Tap Height (usually 3"). With a relaxed grip, the player should turn his wrist and bring the bead down and strike the playing surface. When turning his wrist the player should allow the arm to move naturally with it, avoiding any tension in the arm. When the bead strikes the head, the player should allow the bead to rebound back

to the original tap height. The player should never stop the motion of the stick until it reaches the tap height, creating a Legato Motion. The Tap Stroke is similar to The Full Stroke, just starting and ending in the Tap Height.

The Up Stroke:

Like The Tap Stroke, The Up Stroke should be started at the Tap Height. With a relaxed grip, the player should turn his wrist and bring the bead down and strike the playing surface. When turning his wrist the player should allow the arm to move naturally with it, avoiding any tension in the arm. When the bead strikes the head, the player should allow the bead to rebound to The Up Position. The player may have to physically bring the stick up to The Up Position, but should be relaxed and use as much rebound as possible.
