  • It isn't necessary but it's all up to the director to allow it or not..

  • it depends on the song
  • I can understand screaming on some songs but the yanking and pulling down on the horn i never got !!!!!!!
  • ofcourse it's necessary!!! look at clips OBVIOUSLY the band that has a whole group yanking makes them CLEARLY louder... I mean.. those that don't are just POO!!! (sarcasm is needed in our culture..)
  • I am guessing most people in here never really "cranked' cause i do it.. but to an extent....  its a natural motion when you are breathing...
    • when I hear "crank" or try to describe it I think a NATURAL breathing motion would NOT require you to pick your horn up to a 45degree angle and bring it back down violently. But that also depends because of my perception of the use of the word "crank".
  • as far as screaming... yes... it is necessary
  • No its not....it sounds bad well to me and yanking i can understand the whole breathing thing but not looking like hydraulics
