How do you know that they just didnt use an eq, take away all the high end frequencies, amp up all the lower ends, and find a guy with a low soft laugh to begin with?.. Just sayin...

It is sad to look at the differences that occur in the span of 9 months... I met this man on a night of such celebration, and to hear of this tragedy makes my stomach turn a bit sour...

Also keep in mind that the caption trophies are averages of all three nights' scores, not just one night... -
Welcome to my life. Marching in the corps you want to is NOT cheap, esp for airline tickets included in the cost. I think last year cost me close to 8K. (including housing and etc.)
-
you cant score a 98.96.... it has to be to the quarter-hundreth, ie 98.875

A Merry Tuba Christmas
saxmanjames7 replied to supersop's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
nvm -
The vented valves are amazing! Defiantly worth the investment. It makes zero difference in the sound of the horn, but makes emptying water so much easier. I am tempted to try to get my corps horn vented... My tubenet SN is tubadillon.. I don't know if I have ever posted lol... Only PMing usually. I had to have my horn shipped to me when I bought it from Lee, in the case in a box + insurance. but vent your valves. :D
-
Ah, so I just searched TubeNet and found the BBC mod stuff, sounds great!!! How much does he charge? Think I could get the mod while on tour and have him hold onto it for me till I got back home to send back?
-
I bought the horn from Lee Stofer who did some work to it and vented the valves for free, and it works fine for me now. I live in WA, what does Fedderly do to the horns?

I had to go back to college marching band after the last three seasons of DCI, as well as teaching HS marching band. I think I got much more frustrated with the college band than my HS. My tuba section at college is 4 DCI contra vets, plus 4 others who aren't too bad, so we are usually on top of our game, no problem. Our director marched contra for bones and at devils which makes it fun still. However, the rest of the 150 people couldn't care less about the program and never give out any effort at all. If I didn't have my HS to teach I probably would have gone berserk a few times and hurt someone... lol...

I have a 2145, about two years old... It plays amazing! The high register sings, the extreme low register can be a tad stuffy, but I get by. I do not use the thumb ring tho, it would force me to use bad finger technique. What are you looking for in a horn?

I came, wore my hat and sweater, I played my MW, I had fun!

Fringe Junior Corps Organization
saxmanjames7 replied to Hrothgar15's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Which is why I did march! You should try it man. I was a fan for all my childhood, then after I did it (one more year left too!) I can appreciate all those shows just that much more! -
Best type of shoe for summer tour?
saxmanjames7 replied to HashBrownJM's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
My pinky toe on the right shoe DID develop a hole, but the shoe was so light and the material was great because the shoes could get soaked (in indiana...) and be dry after one bus ride. -
why does BD only have 23 shows?

...pretty much what i just posted... -
why does BD only have 23 shows?
saxmanjames7 replied to MR2Fast2Catch's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
So I just did a little homework, and on the BD website there is a date set for Precision West, which is June 21st. They also added the Murfreesboro, TN, show on their schedule, which when added to finals brings their total to 28 shows... Why would the DCI website have forgotten PW but the BD website have it? Curious... -
I wonder if they will update that calculator for the new proposed rule before or after this season? If it passes, that is.

Age out and graduation
saxmanjames7 replied to fourouttheforty's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I see this point well, and I agree with this and with Carl; I want to march THIS year as my age out, I have been looking forward to being in that circle for a while now, and it's my time now, and I also want that DCI Class of 2008 pin on my jacket lol. I do not know if I would be able to march next year as the new rule would allow tho... -
BD Contra Question
saxmanjames7 replied to Notorious T-U-B-A's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
That's cuz your old.... :D It actually does depend on the texture of the ground. If it is good grass or turf for marching, it will hurt the knees, but if it is too long of grass for good marching then it feels kind of good lol. -
BD Contra Question
saxmanjames7 replied to Notorious T-U-B-A's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
We kneel so that the rest of the corps can see the DM. Plus you could call it a tradition.. -
