Learn each split part of BMW so you are ready to play any part of the exercise at auditions. The splits will be assigned after the line is set.
Other exercises and music will be given out during auditions, but to prepare, practice 8th, 16th and triplet note timing with a metronome isolating each partial.
![Page 3: Learn each split part of BMW so you are ready€¦ · Learn each split part of BMW so you are ready to play any part of the exercise at auditions. The splits will be assigned after](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022040615/5f0d1ea47e708231d438c696/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cymbals are often seen as a visual complement to an ensemble but they are instruments first. Throughout auditions and the season, we will continously focus on producing the best sound quality and timing. Music and sound will always come before visuals.
Cymbals are a physical tasking instrument. How you carry and control cymbals is essential to being able to produce a good sound. We will do strength training during auditions and the season but you should prepare beforehand to be as successful as you can be during auditions.
To build strength; lift weights, do push ups, go running, work on core strength exercises (sit ups, crunches, etc..).
To build endurance to hold cymbals; hold your cymbals. If you do not have access to cymbals, hold two 5lb weights or two 1/2-gallon plastic water jogs in the flat and port position.

This technique is all about the words stated above. We are musicians first, so the quality of sound that we make in a stand still, needs to transfer when we march. Breathing, relaxing the hands and a constant awareness to where we make contact with the cymbals is going to be the key to our success!
Couple things to point out: Shoulders must always be relaxed. Holding your cymbals come from your back, chest, and arms (biceps, triceps). DO NOT bring your shoulders up to your ears.
