"New" brass instruments in 2015?


Recommended Posts

Anyone busting out trombones and french horns this year? From what I have seen it looks like corps are taking a "meh" approach and not using them.

Let's hope it stays that way.

I wasn't offended by their mere presence but they seemed like a waste of resources considering the limited effect. SCV's would have been pretty much the same with baris/euphs, Cadets probably better with mello instead of a mid-show switch to horn (no diss on the soloist)

I for one hope SCV uses the trombones again in a fashion similar to last season. I loved the timbre and extra "oomph" achieved in the opening and closing hits.

It would fit their theme too. Trombones could be considered "innovative" in a way to DCI. Let's see if they can apply an innovative way to use them.

Cavaliers used a "new" instrument in 2014 ballad that was totally worth it.
