To date, one of the best drum corps horn lines, on a player-for-player basis, I've ever heard. Not big in size... mid-20s to maybe 30 horns, depending on the year.. .but those guys could flat-out bring it. And they were tackling some pretty high-rent charts for a local-circuit corps. Mouret's "Rondeau" (the theme from Masterpiece Theatre).... "Capriccio Espagnol"... music from the musical 1776... among other tunes. Great stuff. RCA: The old Stratford 'Connecticut Yankees" may have competed in the old Red Carpet Association. Elphaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
