Where??? (Coincidentally, he sat one night just a head of me, but I didn't go over to ask.) Prime, like Jim Wren, is a brass arranger of the highest order. They are to field brass arranging what Stokowski was to the great masters. Their arrangements were pure and exciting!!! That said, I doubt Prime would accommodate synthesizers and amplification in his arrangements. Doesn't need to. Check out any of the top 5 scoring years of Star and 83 & 84 at Garfield Cadets. All of those arrangements rival anything today... more so because they are acoustic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved his arrangements with Madison in 2010. Any idea why he only lasted a year there? I understand he left on his own - just wonder why.

BRASSO Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Don't we have to hear that a staffer will be no longer brought back ( or has resigned ) that creates an opening BEFORE we say who might replace that staffer ? Or is it ok to jump the gun before Finals on here as to what staff(s) won't be back, and at what Corps ?

BD and SCV are examples of augmenters with depth of staff. Think of how many music designers are employed at BD for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand he left on his own - just wonder why. His time there paralleled the involvement of Donnie Van Doren, as it did at Star/Blast/Brass Theater, and Cadets. It's been that way since they both marched Easton Chessmen and then Hawthorne Muchachos. Follow one and find the other. However, DVD has branched out on his own at times such as with The Troopers. Should someone mention Carolina Crown, be sure Jimma was overlooking Michael Klesch's shoulder and whispering a suggestion or two. But the short answer is I don't know anything more specific for you.

No convincing needed here; you are spot on, although I would be interested to see how he would set it all in the electronic world we now have. He might just be the person to put the balance back into the situation. Edited August 8, 2017 by xandandl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year's winning show should be called "Unplugged!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
