At times, but I feel like to just say less pit isn't exactly what anyone wants, to be honest it seems most of us (myself included) wants more brass.

More brass without artificial help yes, but extra mm's might end up in the guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a brass person I want less music in the pit and more with the brass. The pit (after all these years) should still only be a compliment (seasonings, spice) and not the main course IMO. When being more visual and visual demand came along brass parts of the music were put in the pit Edited February 21, 2018 by Triple Forte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And balance is the issue as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowtown Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I’d like less pit as currently it’s all pit all the time and they are turned up to 10. It’s fatiguing. There is no space, they never stop which results in a very limited dynamic range. They are overwritten to the point of being noisy filler And yeah, they’re picking up way too much of what should be in the brass, review SCV 2004 vs 2014 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it all comes back to amplification, part of the issue is the way show design is now days mm's are either marching or playing there is not nearly enough credit given for doing both, so the brass plays, and then stops playing and starts running and the pit takes over (flight of the bumblebee section of BD's show last year is a great example of what this is like) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
