I just can't fathom how they did all of this with 1.5 rehearsal days + doing a BlueWay camp for 160 kids. I guess this is where the talent level starts kicking in... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're sponges. They soak it all in. That's pure talent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superOOk Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) All that's left for this show is fireworks behind the stage at the last chord. Edited July 15, 2017 by superOOk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Veteran heavy corps have such a huge advantage...especially when they have the designers and instructors to take advantage of it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is all kinda new to us old Bloo farts. I've never seen such acceleration of the show like this. Where will be in 3 weeks?! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Man that ending is such an adrenaline rush! Love the changes! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I've got a big band gig tomorrow night and TWO FloMarching shows happening. I'll warn the band in advance that tempos are going to increase significantly on most of our charts! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's amazing that it all starts 2 minutes prior. Because they don't let off the pedal now, during the ending it is part adrenaline, part exhaustion. By the time the end rolls around, my hands, legs, everything is tense watching those Tubas and Euphs run off that stage, and that last chord resolution.

pudding Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 The only change I don't like is the end of the Psathas. Previously, when the snares and quads would trade fours into the marimbas playing the descending line, it felt really natural, like a buildup and release. Now, it feels too protracted; it seems too obvious that they needed to fill another bar or two to fit the visuals they wanted in the brass. In addition, while I like that the Psathas now goes straight into the Zappa, the end of the Psathas sounds too synthetic, making the Zappa feel "hollow" or "empty", even though the brass are playing tutti and loud. There's a balance to be had, and I don't think they've quite hit it yet. I trust Tom, Doug, and Vince to massage it into place, it just doesn't feel smooth yet. RIP concert euph, I for one always liked you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
