membername Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 if anyone were to look at the stylistic issues in the 2002 brass book, and look at the performance the hornline put out everynight, i think 2002 would be up there!!!!! amazing ballad omg :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 best balance, power and sound I've heard in person would be 2000 2000 had some good moments, but certainly can't be considered the best. For winning the caption that year, the line was surprisingly raucous on finals night. Yeah, it had the power, and yeah it was their first year on the Bb's. Still, there was a noticable lack of blend across the line. Cadets have long been one of the most musical corps out there, and in most years you can listen to the line, close your eyes, and imagine that there is only one instrument on the field. Not that year. Especially in the upper voices, it sounded strained. Even if you don't agree with that opinion, you have to consider the last minute and half of show. They simply sounded tired, and came through in their sound. Phasing was a big problem, not to mention the fact that they didn't produce a very full sound. I'm not trying to rag on Cadets. I've heard some great hornlines from them, which is why I can't say that 2000 deserves to be called their best. Surely several other years have been far more musical.

RaiderLex Posted March 4, 2003 Author Share Posted March 4, 2003 So if you heard better ones, would you at least bother to say which ones they are?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nuts4Corps Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 This is a good question... I would say 2001 was the Cadets best hornline they have ever fielded, and they were robbed of the high brass trophy. 97 was a very weak hornline..too many notes for them to handle, and the concept of sound within the line was not good. 2000 was good, but could not handle some of the visual things, and the sound suffered at times. 2002 had some problems. 95 was very strong.
