new guy questions curvilinear/company fronts
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2012 7:41 pm
Hi,
I am writing drill for the first time (officially) this year. There are just a couple of things I'm not sure of and would like some input.
1. I know it's good to stick with equal intervals (2 steps, 3 steps etc) left and right, but does the same rule go for curvilinear drill? Circular drill? How important to have an exact 3 step or 2 step for curvilinear? I'm mostly try to stick to that number but sometimes it's very difficult to get to one of those even intervals, especially after morphing from a geometric form. A lot of the samples I've looked at too are not quite 2 or 3, although close most of the time. What do you guys do?
2. What interval do you find is best to use for company fronts? I would like to have it as close as possible, but don't want issues with flutes and sousa's. Anyone have any advice on what to use for company fronts? How about if the sousas are not in the company front?
