Alright so my high school decided to buy a ton of marching gear this year and we just got it. Being the best tuner in the band i got assigned to job of tuning most of everything. I have never tuned anything marching before and i think i pretty much can handle the snare but I've ever even touched quads or marching basses let alone tuned them so i need some help. They are small block tenors (8, 10, 12, 13) and i know my teacher wants them in minor thirds and then the bass drums to be 4 more minor thirds lower than those. What note would you guys suggest i start (8" quad) and end at(lowest bass drum, i think it's somewhere in the low 20's)? any other tips would be appreciated.
