3rd_Star_Brigade

Pardon my french but other than Avon, who the #### are the rest of them?

I used it to look up information. Thats why its called a search engine, dude. You have problems, man. I won't reply to any of your posts from now on, because its not worth it, honestly.

Amend my last statement of Thread win. 4.) what marching band do you know of that has a freakin' cool skeleton as their mascot and roadie?

The difference between marching band and drum corps... 1.) what marching band do you know of that has their drum major carry a firearm at his side during a show? 2.) what marching band do you know of that has delved into the world of temptation and sex? 3.) what marching band do you know of who can pull off a religious show without fear of repercussion for violating the separation of church and state? Thread.

My DCI World DVD just came in and I watched this show first. The company front gives me MUCHO chills everytime. Might rival Star '90 finale, Madison '99 Perc Feature into the never-ending chord progressions, or Boston 2000's ballad. ####### ######.

What voicing is that Tuba in? And, what design? Most marching tubas that schools buy today, are sold under the tuba name as a convertible with vertical valves and an extension lead pipe for marching, and horizontal valves for concert. The voice of that tuba is the contrabass. Otherwise, call it a sousaphone. Some links that might help you: http://www.contrabass.com/pages/orch-tuba.html http://schools-wikipedia.org/wp/t/Tuba.htm (check out the variations subsection) http://store.marchingstore.com/metalcontra.html (hell, even Hopkins calls them contras) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...22185928AA1U76H (Student refers to BBb tuba as a bugle) If you want to dig through any more sites, be my guest. Bottomline- Mellophones, Baris, Euphs, and Tubas were all created for corps 50 years ago. These are bugles. Since trumpets and bugles are related as well, but a little bit further a part than the rest of the line to be called a "bugle", they are in essence the same type of soprano brass horn. The rest are bugles in Bb/F, definitively. End of story. Thanks for playing. However, your trap is a common one to fall into. Kinda like a sublet of drum corps vs. marching band. "well, you played on a tuba, but 'I' played on a CONTRA!" Total bull.

But Cadets' amps go to 11.

BALLET IN BRASS!!! that is all, good day to you.

Quiznos!?

I have a good one. Housing site in Rome New York. I went to take a shower. I had gotten undressed, put on some flip-flops, and grabbed my shampoo and gel. As I started walking to the actual shower, from the locker room, I began to notice something odd. The shower itself seemed to be a long tight row, like a small hallway, with cream tiles. I thought it was weird, and so did my corps mates. Then, we heard the sound of distant running water. Deciding to investigate, we traveled down the small hallway, only to be confronted with another showerhead filled hallway. Guess what was at the end of that shower hallway? MORE HALLWAYS!!! After finding even more showerhead filled hallways, we wound our way through a twisting, turning labyrinth maze to find the center room. Craziest ####### shower Ive ever seen. I mean, who creates a shower like that. Must have been the #### druids again! I don't trust the Irish!

I would like to repost my previous answer: See those shiny CONTRAS, baritones, euphoniums, and mellophones that corps use (some bands too) and are pitched in Bb/F? Yeah, those are bugles. Bugles were originally Bb instruments. Bb Field Bugles were standard during the civil war. When drum & bugle corps were diversifying their voices, they came up with the Mellophone (Alto), Baritone (Tenor), Euphonium (Baritone), Contrabass Tuba (Bass) instruments, pitched in G. Pretty soon, bands wanted a version as well, so the instrumental companies made them, and they were pitched in Bb/F. Either than the trumpet, every instrument that a band or corps carries today that was derived from the drum corps voicing is a bugle. A Bb Bugle. Oh, and bananaphone.

Personally, I prefer Spirit of Bandanna.

unlike drum corps vs band?

AWESOME

Yes, some of them sit in chairs and win DCI championships.

#### the trombone studio. Troublemakers of WCU, you whole lot!

Where's your hungry cereal picture? I'm upset. I want a banana.

SPLOOIE!

Take the secret tunnel, under the Holiday Inn.

Yes, but a mellophone is a bugle, even if it is in F.

mini corps. unless they march

I dont see this as happening short of a formal movement and boycott. Not going to happen. People are still going to go, because they want to. Even if the sound sucks. Sure, it'll be a few thousand less, but at least DCI saved on office space.

What other instrumentation do they have? If you say none, then the answer is no, it is a bugle corps (lack of drums). If they add pit perc, battery, and brass, then they are a drum and bugle corps.
