Understand  you can't say the name of the songs.  How about you tell us something about it like, does the music contain notes?  

Ha!  Lots and lots of notes.  It even has tempo changes!

Certainly hope so.   I love the genre and love the fact that Crown is willing to take those pieces on in the first place.  Listen to what bands like  Cory or Black Dyke produce.  

 

Crown's stretch of relying heavily on brass band music starting in 2012 has definitely filled the void I've noticed lately of corps shying away from wind ensemble music. Unlike others I never thought there was an over reliance on it. And especially last year, I can't think of a single top 12 corps that played it (I might be missing one).

Very few even attempt it.  Cadets did for a few years (but they hosed a wee bit too much sometimes).  Troopers did but ended up putting a LOT of parts in the pit.  Cavies flirted with it.   Fun thing about BB lit is that it's NOT all the same at all. The style and substance vary quite dramatically.

a comment befitting your intellect :peek:  don't choke :-) 

anyway -- assuming you're talking about the hose comment.  just listen to the early-season / late-season versions of stonehenge.  it was still a monster book (and along with celebration my favorite cadets shows ever) ,  it was just not what they started with.

D'oh. I think that was my favorite part of the show too.

Any chance you have the studio recording from that year?
