baja Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 One tuba, 7 trumpets, 4 middle horns. Now I'm not sure if they are flugels or not. What about there uniforms? flags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Bass line just did a wicked roll, got the attention of the field percussion judge. The small size of the horn line, though, hurts their power, but what they do play is balanced and in tune. I'm seeing some good posture out there, too, but I'm too low to do any drill commentary.

kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 What about there uniforms? flags? Corps uniforms are black pants, black jacket below the shoulders, red above (think Jean-Luc Picard, just the color division is straight across) with red gauntlets. White aussie hats to complete the look. Guard is in black leggings, black skirt, and black top. Not really much of a uniform, unfortunately.

kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Trumpet soloist just had major exposure during the last piece. Percussion has problems staying together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Now percussion is wicked tight with a great groove, almost rockish in nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Comment from one of the fans: "Not bad for 35 Swedes". Especially considering how little competition they have in Sweeden. Outside of DCE, not sure how often they get feedback on their show design and performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
