JFC. Those sforzando shots with the snares are just fucking *muah*. Hands down my fave show to watch on tour that yeah. Every time I saw Star I felt like I was witnessing history.
The “perfect” drumline. Not the best, but perfect arrangement completely void of self-indulgence and full of restraint. It was designed flawlessly and efficiently.
Oh really? As much an athletic event as a musical event, huh? Anyone could've just told him that. The numbers are interesting though. I too would like to see the numbers of a brass player. Preferably a contrabass player!
Stuck between Star's win in 91 and the historic 93 is, in my opinion, the best Star percussion program. I loved everything about this and the book was insane. Full of nuance and musicality as well as chops.

There's no way a brass player would be allowed 100 liters of air per minute and still play. Maybe 50 max with an average of 30, and that's with a bunch of rests and being a slug for not playing all the time. Especially upper brass players. I'm sure we play and rehearse in a mildly hypoxic state at all times. My guess would be around 85% oxygenation.
I wonder if he caught some flack for wearing that shirt in Star. I was in SOA for a while and attended a perc rehearsal once with a Yamaha BD shirt on. A guy from my section told me I could get in trouble for it, so I kept a jacket on the whole time. Sure enough, the section leader made the announcement later in that rehearsal that "we don't wear other corps' shirts." That guy wasn't the nicest person in the world, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was just a thing with that corps or him but I doubt it.
I feel like I was probably one of the involved parties. 88 season I returned on bass, moved to snare around March and was eventually center but not section leader. I do remember the rule. I had to sneak around and buy a VK hat on tour. Sorry if I was not nice.
it wasn’t you. It was the guy who ended up not being able to march, which was the reason you had to play snare, if I remember correctly, unless 2 basses had to go to snare. I also ran into him at finals. Just not a nice guy. But he was still a kid like all of us.
@@ProphesytotheWind I went to snare when Mike McIntosh left and went to devs. Beau dropped out later and we picked up Darrell from UGA at beginning of summer.
I can't wait to see these guys at DCI :) I hope to someday be good enough to join.them someday. gotta get through my 'll cast two years of high school first though 😅
I don't think so. I think BD uses high brass more than low brass, at least for the key parts. Listen for the trumpets, and to a lesser degree the mellophones. The bright or brilliant sound of BD trumpets is more pronounced than the trumpets of other top corps, IMHO. I think that the other top corps have more of a low brass sound, such as Crown, Bluecoats, Scouts, SCV.
That could be. I haven't observed that in the shows since 2008 when I became a fan. I think the balance of horns has remained the same during those years, of 24 trumpets, 16 mellos, 24 euphoniums, and 12 tubas. There is also some background bass being created electronically from the front ensemble, but you can tell that that's not coming from the low brass horns. Come to think of it, the 2016 show does have some heavier low brass in parts of the show because all 24 euphonium players switch to slide trombones during several parts of the show. The trombones produce a bigger, louder, and lower sound than the euphoniums, at least to my ear.
Yes I too love the softer solos the Devils have done the last few years Bluecoats will have the crowd with them in Indy but the Devils may just get another ring with this show!!!!!!
