randomnoise Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 At the Stanford show, I was taken aback by how outstanding the Bluecoats Mellophones sounded. What instruments and mouthpieces did the section use in 2007? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomnoise Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Any more details on the mouthpiece (cup, rim, backbore)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared_mello Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 the hammond mouthpieces this year were a different model than the '06 ones (i could be wrong, but i think crown/phantom/scv/maybe spirit all used our 2006 mouthpieces this year). truly appreciated, thanks so much. we're a much more contextual section than corps like the cadets have by nature of design, so its really good to hear that people listened closely and took note of what we were doing.

Jared_mello Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Any more details on the mouthpiece (cup, rim, backbore)? i dont know the specific details well enough to give you the answers youre looking for....i'd suggest posting on the forum at bluecoats.com, you could probably get a response within a day at the most of you posting it. (i can take a picture of the mouthpiece and post it if youre interested.) amazing job at the end of one more time chuck corea on the bd alumni and friends cd by the way, that was unbelievable.

randomnoise Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) Thanks for the suggestion (and for the kind words about my playing). For those of you who don't know what Jared is referring to, the Blue Devils Alumni and Friends CD is a great disc of music contributed by Alums of the corps. Our French Horn Alumni recorded a number of ensembles, one of which was One More Time Chuck Corea, which I had always wanted to hear on Horn. On the last note of the tune, I played a short cadenza that ended on a High E concert, which is a double B on Horn. My teacher tells me it is the highest note ever recorded by a Horn player on a commercial album, but I don't know - Jerry Peel did some amazing stuff. Anyway - buy the album - it's great, it supports BD and it's on sale for less than ten bucks! Click here to check it out.

GGarrett Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 im assuming its the quality of the picture that makes it look like my eyes are closed... no I'm thinking you were just so into the beautiful sound the mello's were making that you were closing your eye's and saying "man, we're awesome!" ... :lolhit: yeah... probably the fact I had to blow this way up ... or maybe you blinked!
