Penguin2688 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I'm watching Santa Clara Vanguard '99... Blue Shades is their closer...but I keep mentally inserting narration, help! But I guess in an attempt to make this a constructive thread, what's anyone's preference between the two, musically? (None of that OMG narration is teh suckz business). Personally, I'm still deciding, as this was the first time I actually watched SCV's version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmpiano Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 SCV by a country mile. Much more faithful to the original (which is awesome as is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossmenAlumni Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 SCV by a country mile. Much more faithful to the original (which is awesome as is) In that case, while it isn't in the same league from a performance excellence standpoint, the 1999 Crossmen version is probably the MOST faithful to the original.

Very true, Gary. I played Blue Shades with the Crossmen in 1999 but didn't play the wind ensemble original until about 2001. None of the guys in my college trombone section could believe I was already playing it nearly perfect during the band's first read of the piece. I credited Michael Klesch's arrangement for my success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I like SCV's version better, though that's not saying much. Neither are particularly good arrangements to me. Bones' version in '99 is still tops for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
