    Man I remember learning this when I was 15 and everybody in my high school like "Buck no way you learned that and can actually play it" it is true lol. To bad nobody wanted to audition for Blue Devils cuz I always wanted to be one. But happy with my time at SCV

    Little known fact, this ending is actually the third version from that season. Originally was the ‘82 opener ending, second was played at Concord pavilion but wasn’t played fast enough for Kevin’s liking so he wrote the one that everyone knows that was played all summer.

    Helped me work out a few kinks from when I learned this back in high school. I can officially say I truly know it 100% now. Thank you! I'd really love to see you break down Blue Devils Grievous Groove snare part some day.

    I was intimidated by this piece for YEARS, but this made it much easier to learn. I feel exceptionally accomplished this week, as this was my mini-goal. 💪🏼🥁
