Halftime: The Music of Led Zeppelin at the 2023 Cotton Bowl 

Finally someone that knows its not the sousaphone that brings the power to the bass section.

@@AndricKelton The "donut and the hole" concept. I remember, as a precocious 16 year old telling Dr Droste they should have 6-10 Bach 50s alongside those new Bach 36s they went to when slides came back in 1980. He was amused at me, what a nice man!

@@roberthoffhines5419 thats cool. Do you know when Bass trombones joined the band? I do research and can't figure that our. Also now we use large bore straight Conns and Conn 110H basses

@@roberthoffhines5419 also that was a great idea because this marching band is really really bright with how much high brass there is. Even still

Thanks for that. The guy is losing his mind. I love that we get to do that to people.

He certainly loved the drum major!

Lots of missing players

Apparently the goal is essentially be the opposite of the mbandfan account all those years ago. The whole point is to block out croud noise at the expense of volume and clarity of low voices and mid range causing that tin-like sound

@@DavidRungart Yes, recording a band like this from that vantage point is not terribly difficult. Either get one of those little Zoom recorders, with either two directional microphones or some kind of directional shield. Alternatively, go back to the old arrangement of having several microphones on high stands along the side of the pitch. Did this for four years with a high school band - it's neither difficult nor expensive.

@@OHCelt Current director seems to have his priorities elsewhere.

@@DavidRungart Well, it certainly doesn't seem that high definition sound recording of these shows is high on his list.
