    DCA DVD/CD review

    in DCI (All) Corps Show & Event Reviews

    Posted

    Dear batmanmom,

    Yes I liked Renegades a lot...they were very unique.....but YOU need to go back and watch the show again. Difficult.....NO.........200 beats a minute.....NO.....claiming it and marching it are 2 different things. Try 186-192 for the opener, and guess what....you weren't playing!!!!!!!!! NOT difficult. Watch corps like Bush and Buccs, Empire, Brigs and especially Cabs for fast while playing.

    Please, the entertainment was GREAT.....just not difficult. You are looking at it thru rose colored glasses.

    Iam so evil, the Devil worships me!

    first off.. topsop, i dont mind ya giving your opinion on our show. by telling my own mother "batmanmom" that she's looking thru rose colored glasses is a little off the wall there. first off, she was there at DCA with her husband (aka my father). They marched back in the era when the front ensemble was a thing of the future. They know what all the other corps were like, they were right there!!!

    please, i don't mind the opinions, that's totally cool, no prob.

    just imagine all the hard work that we renegades put in during the 2003 season, it all payed off in the end, at least i think it did.

    i don't mean to go to bat for my mom, but i felt i had to.

    Help with Mellophone...

    I use a Mello 6, it is a great mouthpiece. For me, the switch from trumpet to mellophone was not that hard, i got used to it quickly cause im used to holding a trumpet, but the key change took some getting used to. A good starter mouthpiece if you can't get an M6, is a 3C trumpet mouthpiece, but yeah, try long tone exercises, some slurring, even try some chromatic scales from C to C

    Before I played Mellophone with the Renegades, I play Trumpet. I have played trumpet for most of my life (13 years to be exact), which includes High School, and College Band. I like mellophone for it's rich tone.

    The Troopers are looking to fill these final spots in the hornline.

    1 Contra Bass

    5 Baritones

    1 Mellophone

    Only 4 baritone spots remain open for this year. May camp is coming up quick!

    Don't have a place to march this summer? We have a spot for you. Visit http://www.troopersdrumcorps.org for 2003 Membership information or email recruiting@troopersdrumcorps.org.

    Um.............you DO indeed have 1 mellophone spot??

    Richard Skare, DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!

    Brass size

    A large hornline can have more volume and it can be easier for people to be a little less mindful on where one breaths, but that is not always the case. To me tunning is the key. A smaller hornline will sound louder if in tune than a larger out of tune hornline. Scientifically, it makes since. It is really kind of cool. So, all the small horn lines that have been around and that others have stated already were louder because they can play together as a in tune hornline.

    But playing in a 74 member in tune hornline is really cool!!!

    I agree

    RENEGADES SOUVENIRS

    When I was a cheerleader (during the dark ages) we had shirts that said "Play Hard or Go Home!"

    We should have shirts that say, "Play Loud or Go Home!"

    ...or not.

    I like the "Play Loud Go Home" thing, that is a GREAT idea.

    Well...

    I own 2 trumpets

    1. Yamaha Brass Trumpet Student Model which i on a Schilke 13B.

    2. Kanstul K700 Trumpet, which is the equivalent of a Bach 37, same mouthpiece

    Kanstul Model 925 Flugelhorn in Bb.

    In 2002, I borrowed a mellophone from a good buddy of mine, it was a Dynasty 3-valve mellophone from the Kiwanis Kavaliers, which is in great shape. Thanks Paul Olsen!

    Last year, i switched Mellos and played on a DEG from Pacific Crest.

    As of 2004, I now own a Kanstul K180 Mellophone, in G, and it plays like a beauty!

    Thats me!
