kevingamin Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 First on the field is Cincinnati Tradition from Cincinnati, Ohio. Their 2014 program is not listed on Corpsreps.com or their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 The show opens with Fanfare & Allegro, made famous by the Santa Clara Vanguard in 1972, 1973, and 1984. The arrangement is very similar to the SCV version. Powerful sound from the horns to start the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 F&A was just an intro. We've moved into a higher tempo selection with a percussion break to start. Guard has compass arrows as equipment instead of rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Horns front and center in a block with a big hit. Tenors now have a quick solo before the horns come back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
