Marching band flute section intonation?

So I am the flute section leader for our marching band and one thing I want to focus on is our intonation (there are 8 of us, currently no piccolos), how should I approach this? Do you know of any free exercises I can print off that would help? Also I have also been looking into working on technical exercises, do you know of any I could print off for free? Thanks!

Question: Good music video idea???

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 08:46 PM PDT

So my friend is an amazing singer. If you want to hear her, her YouTube channel is either musicspeaks214 or Claudia Isabella.
Not the point.
I am making a music video for her and here is the script. PLEASE GIVE ME ANY OPINION OR SUGGESTION.

*she has thick eyeliner, grunge look, all black clothes*
She wakes up on a white sheet.
She gets up and starts walking through all these hallways.
She stumbles as she walks, she has to hold on to the wall sometimes.
(The song is about alcoholism)
So it's all dramatic and everytime she touches the wall (leans against it, touches it, whatever) she leaves a word behind written in black.
These words are like regret, fear, broken, alone, hopeless.. Blah blah.
At the end of a hallway she looks back and sees all this pain and stuff she carries along, but also radiates from her.
Words are covering the walls.
She slides down the wall in tears, completely broken.
Then the video rewinds really fast to her on the sheet.
She sits up and looks at her hands.
All the words are written on her hands, full of those words.
She dramatically runs through the halls scraping her hands along the walls, leaving smudges everywhere. (This is in slow motion)
She washes her hands off.
She is about to walk out but puts her hand on the wall, turns around and smiles a little in the mirror (happy with herself) then leaves.
Where her hand was, it says "overcome".

If I need fill shots then I'll film her playing the piano and singing then. Video is black and white.

Question: Would voice or dance benefit me more?

Would voice or dance benefit me more?

So I really want to be an actress. I would either like to be on broadway or in film. I'm 14 and trying to prepare myself for my vocation. My question is if I wanted to be on broadway what would benefit me more voice or dance lessons? I'm currently taking piano(no way I can quit) and can afford to take on something else.
When I sing I am in tune 99% of the time but I don't have any quality to my voice. So should I take voice or dance?

Question: Tips for new marching band members?

Hello! For memorizing, take about two measures at a time and repeat them until you got them. Add on two more and memorize those. Add two more and so on. See if it works for you. Also try and take notice of what other instruments are playing. It helps you figure out where your part fits in.

For marching, stop trying to think so much. Marching is actually a very natural thing. Concentrate on the music. Listen to the drum lines beat. You should be able to feel it in your steps.
You may also practice with a metronome.

But all in all, enjoy the experience :) You'll get the hang of things soon enough. You have the other band members there to help and support you all the way.

Good luck!

Senior in marching band. Drum line!
