To my recollection, anyway. Yeah I doubt a full change in terms of pacing will occur which you seem to want, but I do think there will be some. Ink had pretty extensive musical changes from what I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big chords and the soloist on top of that. I think the issue now is that the closer doesn't match visually and musically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments: 1) The thing I was talking about recognizing but not placing happens in between "Blue Rondo" and "As Time Goes By." Trumpet/mello or trumpet bari duet that, while not from "On the Waterfront," sounds similar in style...possibly a quote of "Children's Hour of Dream?" (Side-note: I've been afk for the better part of the last week--did we find any more championship-show callbacks?) 2) The closer still doesn't work. Which annoys me, because the rest of the show does. Normally, BD can chop things up into something new, and it's woven together quite well (e.g. the closer from 2014). This one has way poorer musical pacing than other examples in years past (I'd add in the opener from last year here, for example). It's performed very well, and I think the visual side of it works well, but on the music design side...the way it's currently arranged, to my ear, doesn't meet the standard set by the rest of the show (which is magnificent). Jeez. It will change. So stop being annoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue now is that the closer doesn't match visually and musically. I think since they are trying to predict "the future" of drum corps in that section, it has been harder to put together. It's not clear right now if they see that as more theatrical/cirque-style or what exactly they are doing. Probably a few more weeks until that has more focused direction. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a mello solo, unless there is one right at the start of the show. The mello solo is during the Bizet piece. The flugel soloist from last year is definitely marching BD this year. The mello soloist is his brother who stayed with The Academy. (I wanted to answer this yesterday but I had to register and that took time.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoaDci Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Changes on Bumblebee. There is an accented note at the end of each section passage. I would assume its so the next section gets a better feel for where the time is, so the transition between sections is cleaner. Edited July 17, 2017 by BoaDci Im stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
