  1. first things first, i wasnt able to access the link but i did figure out which 2 they were. i would go with the barrington, it has the thumb saddle and if you get into trumpet you'll learn that its used occasionally and you might regret not having it. get the silver they look nicer... all i can say is i hate blessing mouthpieces. i somehow came across a blessing 3c and hate it. i also have a bach 3b and 7c and a stork custom vacchiano 3c. that is my only real useful peace of info, blessing=bad mouthpiece IMO the 3b and 3c are probably the most comfortable mouthpieces ive played on and i get a great tone from them. http://www.storkcustom.com/html/vacchiano_...20update06.html ^my mouthpiece^ in hs we had essential elements known started calling it the black book in our lower band classes and a blue book as we called it that was mainly scale variations and chorales in our highest band class. i do own an arbans book but i got it after i knew how to play so im not sure how well it would help a beginner, also have clarke technical studies. my opinion go to a local hs and ask the band director or if your next to a university email someone in their music department and ask if you can get contact info on their trumpet/brass instructor. that would be your best bet for a book. when i was younger i liked the books that came with a cd you could play with and copy the rythyms but that was when i was still learning all that stuff
  2. win im still curious to what people think about my original 3
  3. i wasnt that offended, it just got ridiculous. some people were obviously saying things to be mean and hurtful while some were delivering valid points. i didnt start the thread so people could just ream on a specific corps and it was quickly turning to that thread about violence in phantoms show that went sooooooo far off topic that people were questioning other peoples parenting. i didnt want that happening
  4. am i making myself clear? try and get back to my original topic. if you want o bash on BD, then due so in a different thread.
  5. madison- latin, loud in your face, crowd favorite crown- emerging crowd favorite, plays creative shows that have never been done bluecoats- likes to tell a story, amazing drums and solid horns, BLOOO! cavaliers- less and less horns each year and more and more incredible drill. maybe new arranger will fix this cadets- old school feel while continually pushing what is acceptable on the field (well what the crowd thinks at least) phantom- deep dark classical sound, story telling has been a big thing for the past few years. glassmen- different shows, more like a play on the field, not very loud hornline but still very good blue knights- hard to get into for people, very dark almost twisted sound sometimes blue stars- creating a new image for themselves, or at least i think they are

  7. people are stupid thats why they arent liking them as much. i saw the show in san antonio and thought it was an interesting show and pretty #### entertaining (i didnt really like last year). for the people who didnt see bd live this summer, your going off what you saw on the dvd, or your just saying what your friends say, your opinion of the show means nothing. yes phantoms show looked amazing on the dvd compared to bd. that doesnt mean that live bd didnt look just as amazing. the dvd doesnt do a lot of justice for bd this year period. end of argument. what happend at retreat or supposedly happend at retreat with bd and the horn players in ATB is a stupid argument to make towards why they are or arent a classy organization because it probably wasnt only them. blue devils are good, they know theyre good and they are used to winning. for them to loose only 2 shows in a year and one is finals, thats gotta be heartbreaking so leave them be. finally i started this not to bash BD, but to just have people say what they think each corps is known for lately since its obvious a lot of their show designs are different than what theyve been known for in the past. to mods if this continues to bash on BD i would like it to be shut down. thanks
  8. imagine the other drum majors walkin up and kickin him and he doesnt move
  9. if their spouses dont enjoy drum coprs, then they failed! but if your gonna be there a few days you might as well have the option to go do something else
  10. in san antonio they should not have made the night show. conspiracies arent my thing, but being it xmens "home show" might have put them into the night. i dont think the rest of the people in the alamodome saw the same show i did. but what do i know im paying to watch, not being paid to watch
  11. you know same show over and over... jesus christ superstar, an original show about pirates, carmen, kashmir(last time i checked led zepplin was not latin (the same show over and over)) in reality they are pretty much far from the same show over and over. the closest thing would have been 95 and 96, but its no worse than scv doing phantom of the opera 88 and 89, or phantom doing spartacus 3times now. you still love their shows every year so get over the "same show" theory but still even if it was the same show for 5yrs in a row, i dont think the many people would have a problem with it
  12. but try not to take it in all in one year, you still have another decade of going to indy for finals.
  13. not a fan of the new uniforms. they should go back to the old ones and the red plums were a nice touch
  14. me too only if the 4 corps that got to perfrom twice, i wanted to see twice ok next question, if it hasnt already been asked, will there be a huge 4hour break so everyone can flood that helpless barbque place across the parking lot?
  15. if your talking about the finals dvd, im watching it right now with no "'camera' icon" on my screen. its probably just you
  16. alright im sitting here watching my finals dvd i got today and im looking at the liner notes sheet and had to laugh with how big crown's music list was, then after i watched bluecoats, it had a "credits" list and again crowns was about twice as long as everyone elses. im easily ammused and forgot how many different clips were in that show
  17. what kind of shows do you associate with each corps this decade (starting from 2000-2008) do they each have their own niche; or do you think that there are some still trying to find that thing that defines their corps and the shows they do? example: you think scouts, you think something latin, loud, and crowd friendly phantom always a deep dark classical sound but what do you think when you think crown, colts, blue stars? just a few that came to mind
  18. i was there when brandt crocker pronounced absurdity right...
