I've been watching the scores, it's definatly tight, i wish i were marching this summer with my raiders family... but they are definatly making it interesting with yamato, revo and impulse, i can't wait to see what happens b**bs

Looks like 2006 is shaping up to be a another very fun and competitive summer, Good luck to all :)

i dont like to post much, but i feel the need to. This just seems like some racist posts are up. The show sight may have not looked very pretty, but not at any moment did any of the corps members i was with or myself felt any threat what so ever. I just think some people arent very comfortable with people from different backgrounds and want to blow it up and sound scared for no reason. There was not one moment where the hornline experienced disrespect or harasment. We were pulled off the field cause of the rain, and had to wait on the tracks, we talked to some of the people in the stands and they were ok. No trouble, no attitudes, nothing negative at all. I'm neither white, nor african american so i'm not picking sides or being biased, im just calling it as i see it. There were plenty of officers around in case there was any trouble, and from the looks of it there wasnt much of it. People should chill out and be more open to others societies instead of being judgmental or scared. Thats all i will say. Good day to all.

Hey congrats to you guys as well. You guys are a very strong corps for only being out a few years. It was awesome having both our hornlines play together, you guys rocked. Good luck!!

How about San Diego alliance?

This is a great article. The 2005 season is looking like it will be a great and fun season for us. Thank you for all those supporters, its greatly appreciated, and good luck to all this season!

I play on a 6V i believe it is, works beautifully.

From what i've heard, and from the staff changes at Captial Regiment, i feel their hornline will make the biggest improvement out of any div 1 corps.

I've marched div 3 corps for 2 seasons and will for years to come. 2002 9 trumpets 6 mellophones 1 baritone 2 euphs 1 contra total 19 2003 9 trumpets 4 mellophones 2 baritones 2 euphs 2 contras total 19 If i were to field a div 1 corps 24 trumpets 12 mellophones 8 baris 16 euphs 12 contras total 72

I cant vote because i havent played on all the different kinds, but Dynasty is very good, but i also heard that Yamaha Xenos, the horns the cadets use are also very good. Im speaking about trumpets.

Exactly.....me too!

As for the licks, how about Phantom regiment 96...the sopranos in shostacovich's 5th symphony, 4th movement.

Yes indeed he's the man.......he was my elematry school music teacher. Great guy. Is he still writing ?!

good suggestion Penguin but i think its too hard for me. :P :D

well on trumpet anything above high C you can pretty much play any fingering

Im doing I&E this summer, and i want to know what u guys suggest as a good solo piece. Im doing individuals for mellophone. Any suggestion are welcome and appreciated. Thank you.

Is that the Cadets space chords?

i dunno where to get a list but i can get u some.... F#- 1,2,3 G- 1and 3 A- 3 B- 1,3 C#- 3 D-1,3 E- 1,2 or 3

Is a bach 3F considered a cheater....i played on it for a while, and it improved my range, but it gave me horrible tone quality down low, so i went back to a 3C.

what do you mean?!.......what did i say that u disagree with?

I never liked shallow mouthpeices cause tone quality is really bad, but i have a friend who plays on Bach 10 3/4 EW, it is rediculously shallow, and he gets horrible tone quality in the lower register, and he also only added two notes to his range. So i really think its mostly the player, its partially the mouthpiece but mostly the player. I play on a Bach 3C, and my range is better and my tone quality crushes his. So yeah i think its the player.

wrong thread lol :P

i think it is way easier in a large hornline because you have the numbers to back you up. For example lines like Cadets or Phantom who have about 70 horns, they have the privelege to pick who they want to be in their hornline thats why they are so talented. They have about 20 sops, and in a div 3 corps 20 is about how big the entire hornline is. If 1 sop dropped out for a litle bit in a 70 man hornline it wont matter, but in a div 3 hornline, if a sop or anything else drops out, its noticable, and it's more affecting. Therefore it is harder to play in small hornlines, and i give them mad props. B)

Cadets, or Phantom

I totally agree!!
