Yes

Maybe it's just me on this, but design-wise the back to back Melillo is a "pacing" issue IMO. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of his works-having programmed several of his writings and utilized his system of wind band techniques, including pad bass [with VERY specific directions on equipment as well as staging for optimal blend] and have listened/own many of his recorded works, and have enjoyed especially CC's use of his music bitd-which brings me to: If a composer has such purposeful design in the sequence of a work [He is a well-known Fibonacci Phan (see what I did)] "Wait of the World" being the full album [props to The Marine Band of The Royal Netherlands Navy for excellent rendering!], then I suggest placing two pieces from the same work normally separated by two contrasting selections (by composer intent), in a back-to back sequence diminishes the musical impact EACH may aesthetically achieve. No diss on the arrangement OR performers, I think it is effective and exciting! I just think when using more than one composition from a composer for a show design, extra consideration might be valid in selection and sequence. What do I know, maybe they spoke with Stephen Melillo gathering ideas? I'll I end how I started. Maybe it's just me on this. Happy to see momentum from this corps! That's good for the activity!

When will we (I) learn [possibly known & I'm ootl] the panel for Tour Premier?

K, seemed like you forgot to include 'em in your post 🙂 A prediction thread. Best of luck and health and safety to all this year!

Awesome. Curious as to why the Conductor does not have the traditional white gloves seen in other appearances of the ensemble. God Bless these musicians!

What's your take on Mandarins?

c'mon man, he just took it higher

Was his name brasso?

More on his family in this article. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/entertainment/music/story/2020-12-13/an-american-dream-story?fbclid=IwAR034j35cBbd-Py9nE6PYJLt3EXVbv3ttA6uivhe394KTFtk8l4cTy1Dwtk

I enjoyed this memoir made by The President's Own

Especially movement II for a ballad, Movement III [final] as a closer. The ending reminds me very much of Michael Kamen's music used by PR 2010 Into the Light. Michael Kurth is a bass player and composer in residence for ATL Symphony, teaches at Emory University in ATL

Could you clarify. Are you saying Holsinger wrote arrangements FOR the corps?

Add's vibrato. https://www.google.com/search?q=triangle+playing+technique+vibrato&oq=triangle+playing+technique+vibrato+&aqs=chrome..69i57.20166j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_L4zCXs7_BdirtQbf8rD4BA26

but they'd have to change the program to include John Cage 4'33......since it is void of musical performers. More of a mime show, I suppose...

I see what you did there.....

Thanks for such a thorough, transparent, wholly & healthfully honest response, that for my opinion is so refreshing. Haven't read every post in this thread, but THESE human "interest" stories.........REAL kids in the ranks info/background, and YOU two parents longevity/story.......are what I'd like to read more. That's why I asked..........kinda sensed YOU were the one who could put a REAL face to the current mm MS story. Again, thanks for your reply.

1. Welcome to DCP!! 2. How incredible for your son, & you and your husband. As a retired HS Band Director, I am curious to learn more details about what you have shared thus far; Band starts in 6th grade in his school district, and he got to choose his beginning instrument. What did the instructors recommend? [we know what Dad wanted!] Bet he is VERY thankful you forced him to join then, look where he is now! Obviously a successful HS program, as you have described it as wonderful, amazing, with competitive success. I'd be interested to know where this is, not necessarily by name, but locale. Does this program participate in BOA, other circuits? Too bad missing HS July camps gets looked upon negatively.............that's rough. Also would be interested in locale as far as proximity to MS Camps/home base. You and your husband's connections to different corps....which ones? Think it is quite an endorsement for current MS staff, that they were recommended by your knowledgeable corps connections AND that was your son's ONLY reason for auditioning there. I know I did not have that well-directed reasoning at that age............would have selected my corps participation on many other considerations. Best of luck to him in his season, may it be the first of several!! TIA for answering any of my curiosities. Older Band guys have these.........

I was actually hoping the Ellis tune would be Pussywiggle Stomp. That would be sumthin"
