  1. I miss VK and I've never even seem them live! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *cries*
  2. No, they are 5 completely different groups. Obviously number 4 is Madison, seeing as how its written on their bass drum and theyre standing infrom of the Capitol Dome! 1 is Wisconsin Rapids Scouts 2 is St Paul Scouts 3 is Racine Scouts 4 is Madison Scouts 5 is Eau Claire Scouts <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I changed my anwser so I am right. they all are scouts B)
  3. I tried it out and hated it...
  4. what don't you like about Cap's unis? just wondering I like the black pants better now. Good quickie!
  5. Cavaliers Online Video Store here ya go B)
  6. I would have learned brass MUCH sooner! the saxophone seduced me.....
  7. RIP Suncoast.... guess which contra is different :D
  8. while I love low brass still, I am trying to broaden my horizons :P plus I haven't played euph in awhile, I guess I could march bari but I really want to march trumpet, time will tell December might seem like far away for you, it feels like it is in 5 seconds for me, time is against me....darnit not too mention the whole transportation delima... <**> every #### corps has to be so far away
  9. let's see about every show before 2003 but there are plenty oh shows left for me to see assuming DCI survives
  10. from a sax to bari to euph to trumpet guy good luck :P I was in your position not too long ago, go in with an open mind, be very receptive of what the staff tells you what you need to work on. Since you're playing baritone work on holding the horn properly. Do this everyday, you will thank me! :P TONE is what you want, since you play bari you might get a totally of 1 run in a show depending on the show. Yeh yeh... I know listen to show X's bari lick...I know but for the most part you are just laying down the chords more than doing melodic stuff. Yeh Yeh I know ballads.... ok so they will look for TONE first, it would be nice to get a decent range although you will most likely end up on 3rd bari or euph. Save the triple tounging for the novelty act. Work the basics. The three T's. good TONE in TUNE in TIME (I think I got that right ) show them you want it more than anyone else, go in there in nail your solo and have fun! :) you might just be lucky like me and make a finalist corps (hopefully you will be able to march with them though <**> )
  11. you know at first glance it looks like you said the "masterbat(you know the word) of their hornline was incredible"
  12. at first I thought it was a sop playing REALLY HIGH...lol :)
  13. you got the $780 DVD collection!? can I come over to your house? :P
  14. Hey I am low brass player that switched to trumpet not too long ago. My range is low F# (which dosn't sound good below low C) to a C above the staff.( heh barely B) ) My tone is so-so between low C and middle C. After the middle C the tone starts getting thinner after I go up. I am inconsistent playing wise. Switching between certain intervals sounds forced and just plain bad. I really want to march anywhere next year as preferably a 3rd sop, 2nd possibly. There's no way I'm taking any first parts. I don't have any upper lip endurance. My lower lip feels fine, but I really need my upper lip to help me hit those high notes well, and to swtich intervals smoother when I get tired. Is this a common low-brass to high-brass issue? I also really want to work my tone. Auditions are VERY close and I am just picking up the instrument. Also, not marching is NOT an option. I will wait for spots to open from people dropping out if I have to. I just want to start making some freaking music already. Anyone know any techniques to build upper lip endurance and some breathing exercises? Oh I am playing on a Yamaha 11B4 mouthpiece that came with my horn. I have an old crusty 7C, but the Yamaha is easier to play on and sounds better.
  15. 80 horns!?!?! holy poop that's alot 15 contras is going to be loud! b**bs isn't the average hornline around 65?
