  1. Fever Drum and Bugle Corps is looking for G bugles, used. Who is looking to get rid of some? We are willing to beg, borrow and steal. Ok, we'll pay for them too. email: wilhelm.l@monet.k12.ca.us
  2. I gotta see a photo of this! B)
  3. I missed it! I wish the arch was set further back! Now I have to say, "Yeah, I was there but I didn't see it". hey Leads!...let's be careful out there!
  4. Last night was a h### of a lot of fun! Thanks BD for letting us participate in your family day!
  5. The best screaming solo I happened to hear just happened this weekend. Cleaning drill in Bo Rap (not boe's), it was a drums only run of a set into the first big impact. Well, Rich D. did'nt hear that and it was drums only and played the #### out of his upper lead part. Very cool, major impact...drums only...and one screaming sop just melting your ears with his sound. Rich...you got some lungs and chops man! It made my day! B)
  6. however you hold them, it's got to be easier than holding the Yamahas! :D
  7. In a drum corps, you have to have the loud. A brass quintet can give you great quality of sound, but it won't move you musicaly if you can't hear it. Yes, some of the greatest musical moments are soft and you have to strain to hear them, however, drum coprs is ment to rock your world. The greatest sounds will come from those corps who can use intonation, ballance, and volume to push you over the edge. Dynamic contrast is just a "trick" to help make the louds louder. I love them! The reason we play soft, is to give you the louds, and it's not really playing loud if you can't get soft. Ummm...Chris...we might have a problem here ;)^
  8. I would build it like a triangle. More on the low end and less on top. 4 leads 5 2nds 6 3rds 7 Euphs. This would help with blend of the sound and create more volume! Better for tuning as well.
  9. The best dutting is when you can't tell there is someone dutting. Takes skill to do this. As a DM, I dutt all the time, for me. If I dutt in my had, the tempo speeds up for me, I only do this when I feel the corps tearing or I need to feel secure.
