Stick Chips #EMCcadence2020
Channel: Daniel Makes Cadences
Date: 2020-06-15

Probably going to be my final submission for the EMC Cadence contest. I decided to go more experimental with this cadence and try things I haven't done much of in previous cadences. I think for my future cadences, I'll likely keep this format for my sheet music as it's going to be a lot easier for people to read their own parts rather than try to find their own amongst a score of four instruments. I might redo Andromeda and Shark Bait (which are both currently written for two spocks) but I'm not sure if I have the time to do them before the contest deadline. In any case, I'm happy with the cadences I have submitted and though it would be cool to be featured by EMCProductions, I think this was a great experience for me whether I get featured or not. I love seeing how this contest has inspired lots of people to go out of their own creative boundaries and make their own cadences.

Stick Chips is a level 4 cadence designed for intermediate level high schools or colleges. The cadence puts the drumline to the test with various difficult passages all while still being enjoyable to play. This cadence is great to march along to in a parade or simply as part of a walking routine.
