    air compression and tighten the corners of your mouth...............take in as much air as u can, close your throat the hold in the air and then tighten ur stomach muscles up, like when you are bracing urself for a punch...then when u play just shove all the air out and push with stomach, and for you not to overblow and blat tighten the corners of your mouthpiece as much as u can.....air is everything

    :worthy::worthy:

    Most brass players will want to tighten up to play loud, but you must be as relaxed as you can...my instructor likes to call it counter intuitive :worthy:

    Thank You BOS marcher Carolina Crown is the most underrated brass line in 05 they have a great sound and thanks to a certain brass judge they have managed to go down in there scores over there last two shows which i was told by some crown members that were there best two shows of the year but they have a very good brass line that is underrated

    Ok so this is my first DCI show review so sorry if it isn't that good.....

    Boston Crusaders: The Promise of Living

    My score/Placement:80.65/3

    Actual score/Placement:79.9/2

    Okay so I wasn't too excited about the show, I thought that this would be one of those dramatic style shows with the guard having flags saying like life, birth and death and all of that other stuff. But, this show was actually one of my favorites, when they got to there first big hit my face was blown off.......The drill was pretty cool too, some challenging moves...but the thing i liked most about this corps was the low brass sound :huh::blink::huh: wow! it was so dark and symphonic and the balance was good also....this show will be really good in august.

    Southwind: A Distorted Imagination

    My score/Placement:71.35/5

    Actual score/Placement:69.85/5

    Okay Southwind was up next.....interesting first set with all the different positions that some of the members had, i even heard one guy in the stands say wow i didnt know you could do that which was funny......Drill was pretty challenging but not too clean, brass wasnt balanced that well......the drum feature was amazing :blink::blink::blink: when the snares went to the tenors and played with the tenor players omg the crowd went crazy.......interesting guard uniforms some nice spots with the guard yet some not so nice spots.

    Spirit from JSU: Spirit of Broadway

    My score/placement: 78/4

    Actual score/placement:76.45/4

    Like BAC I wasn't looking forward to this show very much but once again I was surprised....the hornline had a great sound and had some nice trumpet solos i really like when the trumpet plays music of the night from Phantom of the Opera it sounded awesome.....the drill was pretty cool as well, the closing set was awesome....guard didnt really catch my eye with this corps....percussion was good too.

    Carolina Crown: Angelus!

    My score/placement:81.35/2

    Actual score/placement:79.4/3

    Ok here comes the corps that i have been waiting for.....they had some cool movement in there drill moves opening set was one of them......the intro was awesome it had big round chords and then comes GLADD which was very clear and once again the brassline played there typical big chords and they had a dark sound.....the chorale was nice but wasnt what i expected from it i thought it would be more beautiful and some louder hits in it but i was ok.......then i learnt before the show from a couple of friends that march Crown that they redid there entire closer just a day before but it was still pretty good although there were a couple of individual issues two trumpets almost fell over but had some stellar saves......balance was there but the baritones over did it in my mind.......awesome drill and i liked the set of the angels wings...the have an amazing show this year, picking up right where they left off from last year. this was my favorite show of the night :huh::huh::blink:

    Bluecoats: Caravan

    My score/placement:84.35/1

    Actual score/placement:83.5/1

    Okay so now this show just made no sense to me at all.....the brass was good and percussion also especially when the snares changed to the smaller snares they looked like practice pads sorta.....there was a spot in the show when the members did some chanting which was just weird.....there were a couple of baritone and soprano solos and balance was pretty good.....guard was awesome there was a spot where the corps stopped and turned to the guard who then did a flag spin while the corps was silent when they finished it the corps came back in just as they left off which was cool but this show didnt appeal me that much......drill was pretty good but i didnt think there that many hard movements.

    So that was what i thought of the corps performances tonight.
