Ch1k3n Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Most balanced hornline: Crown Best overall hornline tone quality: Crown While I do agree with you that Crown has a very impressive hornline, I would like to add that I thought SCV was extremely balanced and had very good tone during their long holds. Their tone is so pure, and I think that's where they shine. Other than that, I would literally cringe at the sound of a random mellophone blast out a huge cracked note, and stuff like that. I do agree, however that Crown is better in the fast stuff. Their tonguing and articulations were just about perfectly uniform, even in some tough bits. My favorite, though would be Bluecoats. When they get into that rhombus shape a little after their tuba soli at the beginning, the tonguing was so crisp, It was amazing to listen to.

Pat61 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Most impressive non top-12 performance: Troopers I would have to say Academy for non top-12. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you explain why so that mindless person that gave you a negative for your opinion can see WHY you said that? If you pressed the negative on accident... it's ok, I made that mistake too XD Edited April 30, 2012 by Ch1k3n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Troopers and Academy both offered amazing music packages in 2011, Troopers was gorgeous, and Academy was in your face. Two extremes, both deserving of some recognition. And I must add another Most for 2011, most improved - Spirit. Huge leap in Show design and placement (16th - 12th? wow!). They're my corps to make another jump in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
