Drum corps? Shore, man! It'll be a Brass Classic!


Recommended Posts

Fourth movement opens with a mellophone soloist on Not While I'm Around. All plumes are now red.

What a show from the Blue Saints. This is a strong corps from them! Very nice touches in the show design as well.

Saints are doing a great job with the ballad. Excellent tone from the soloists and the tubas.

Closing movement is the closing of Barber. One of the trumpet players takes his place on the barber chair as a guard member brings a large razor prop and kills him to finish the show.

Next on the field is the Racine Scouts from Racine, Wisconsin. Their 2015 program is entitled "Behind the Brush Strokes… A journey through the mind of Vincent van Gogh" and consists of:

Vincent (Starry, Starry Night) by McLean, Don

Ritual Fire Dance (from El Amor Brujo) by Falla, Manuel de

Music of Eric Morales by Morales, Eric

Music of Philip Glass by Glass, Philip

They're having announcer mic issues so the corps are pretty much starting when they're told.

Drum line opens the show with Ritual Fire Dance. Horns come in set around a painter at an easel on side 2.

8 horns, 12 drums, 9 guard, 5 pit, 1 drum major on the field for Racine.

The percussion is much farther along than the brass, but that's to be expected since the Scouts started the season with just two horns on the field.

I really like Racine's staging choices which make them appear to fill out the field way more than you would expect.
