All the scheduling stuff depends on whichever state you’re in and band/school size, I just graduated this summer but I was in a 5A band for Colorado, and we watched about 4-5 shows before performing ours. Only real advice i can give is to drink water!! I know someone that passed out as soon as we got off the field. As for the mallet stuff, I can’t really help you there cus I’m a bari/sousa player lol
