The main difference is that baritones have a more cylindrical bore, which means the tubing stays the same diameter longer, so they play with a brighter timbre similar to a trombone. Which is why it is typically used on upper tenor brass splits. The euphonium uses a conical bore, meaning the tubing has a more gradual flare, giving it a rich, warm timbre. The King and Jupiter euphoniums project very well. I typically prefer a mix of both so you have a gradual blend of timbres from top to bottom, giving the brass a sound similar to a British style brass band.
actually, in marching brass the cylindrical/ conical bore is the same between baris and euphs, i belive. The bari is just a more compact euph with a smaller bore.

Some Corps, like The Cadets, have opted to go baritone only in the hornlines, while other corps, like BD, are all euphs (even before the new 'bariphoniums'). From what I've heard euphs can be stuffy and not project volume as well as baritones, but I've also heard that they're smoother in the lower register and easier to blend with tubas. Which do you prefer and why? All Baris? All Euphs? Or a mix of both like Cavies, Bloo, and many others?

The SCV hornline is mostly dissapointed with how this was handled. While the bloo staff are probably a great bunch of guys, the SCV hornline was really looking forward to working with David Clemmer and his staff in the upcoming season. Their sudden departure is unexpected, and it is very unfortunate that we found out via our friends at the Bluecoats.
