Great technical ability among the musicians. I like how they didn't water down the difficult licks. We heard some trumpet section cracks on the difficult descending passages in upper range. Great sop sax solo.
@DanteLuvBD A friend of mine performed at DCI 78 or 79 when Chuck co-hosted. He was on the field when the Blue Devils played Legend. According to him it was so loud that Chuck was almost knocked over. True or not, I don't know. But their version of Legend is POWER to the Nth degree.
San Diego State University Marching Aztecs had a custom arrangement in 1977, it was better than the drum corps version, mainly because it had a full band, rather than just two-valve brass. Loud is not power, it's just loud.
1 valve rotary bugle in the 70s. Projection in a football stadium by a certain number of DCI players vs BoA mega bands will have a distinctive sound difference. DCI/VFW corps marched primarily to martial style music in the beginning. A kid off the street could walk on to a Corps, not so a collegiate band. There is the true difference, and lack of woodwind in DCI/DCA of course.
Если они используют бас-гитару, то почему не заменить духовой бэг, который не работает, - гитарой? Ведь они не на марше, сидят. А то тембральное однообразие утомляет.
