What I did to be able to do it , because I will admit, It's really hard,
Is just act like your a robot
and your legs spin around. and just think that while playing...
unless you cant think other things while playing..
just think that before marching.

My body is parallel, and so is my flute crying
Unfortunately I can't maintain this and play. not that you can hear flutes anyway... Not when there are trumpets blasting. I'd rather look good then play.

theres gotta be some breathing exercises you can do.. i wouldn't know which ones though, i know theres some that help open up the diaphragm while sliding that we learned..
i just cant remember Dx

go piccolo! whee

Hmm. At a correct slide position your top half will be positioned in the same way as if you were marching forward.

Does marching forward give you grief?

If not, it's your sliding posture.


Do you play flute? I could do it with another instrument just fine. Flute is a b***h to march with, but hey if I didn't love it I wouldn't have played it for the last 9 years. even though I have played for a long time I didn't start marching until college. Its a fairly common problem with flutes, at least three or four other girls in my section can't play during left slides either, one of theses being our section leader, who has been marching for at least 8 years.

I Play Picc/Flute
And I Know What Your Talking About
It Could Be That Your Turning At The Wrong Part Of Your Body
You Need to Turn At Your Waist
And Not Just Your Upper Body
Sometimes For Me Putting My Right Shoulder Back A Little Bit More Helps

But Other Then That
That Slide Is Always Going to Suck
