The notes must come alive Guess so. Cadets in 2015 were definitely not the most emotional musically but they played a insane book very well. That's why I thought it was a very deserved win. But I see the topic is kinda shifting to "which brass line I enjoyed the most" hence the emphasis on communication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whomever manages to cover up the most deficiencies and issues with synthesizers, samples, and singing will take the Ott. I encourage everyone to watch gopro headcams on YouTube to hear what these hornlines actually sound like. Don't listen so much to the ones upon which the cameras are mounted, but rather those around them. If the power went out during a performance, most of these corps would be severely crippled.

Except the guy that judges brass is behind all the speakers and won't hear any of that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speakers are not omni-directional. And even if he's standing right in front of a company block, he's still going to hear the monitors.

Good luck covering up mistakes in a brass line when the judge is standing 10 ft away from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey buddy, do you hear any Synth in this judging tape while the judge is in front of the brass (or really anywhere on the field)? If you do, I'd maybe get your ears checked Edited August 21, 2017 by Cappybara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
