ThirdValvesAreForWimps Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 If Crown really wants to help that singer deliver her piece, they should teach her how to play it on a trombone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one whines when a trumpet soloist is a little off on the high note or hits the higher partial. But a vocalist misses a few and she is 'pitchy.' Ummm...pitchy was being polite. I don't want to rag on the girl, but your comment would be more appropriate if compared to a trumpetsoloist who blows his entire solo, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, a trumpet belongs on the field and a singer doesn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that there is a manner in which that could be performed such that it would sound compatible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have her lip synch while a brass instrument plays the solo. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCWVUFAN Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The Bluecoats have cooked up another exciting show, Psychopomp is incredible and may go down as one of the best openers in DCI history. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's early and most groups just got the show all on the field and yet to develop so it can change in a week. Kind of left the theater thinking nothing was really sticking in my head besides Crown ballad (which we listened to the original in the car). I am a horn player that did 5 years of WGI and teach a bunch of groups and to be honest those shows draw you in more now . The tendency is we come into a new season with the previous season's August performance levels in our heads and forget these groups literally put all of these shows together in the past 4 weeks. Performance takes a back seat to hitting your dot etc. Good thing is these corps are all super talented so within the next week you'll see some great improvement in clarity/design and then we can ##### about those things!
