audiodb Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 No, there are still several junior corps using G horns. None in world-class, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeD Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Thanks. Anyone want to tackle the question about the range of bugles used in 1972? Sure...the range was some very low notes to some really really high ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washingtoncorpsfan Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I think the introduction of the front ensemble is the most important innovation in drum corps history. With grounded percussion instruments legalized, corps were able to expand on their repertoires and add new musical textures to pieces of music. I know I couldn't imagine some of my favorite drum corps shows without the assistance of a pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geneva Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Thanks. Anyone want to tackle the question about the range of bugles used in 1972? Sure, Michael. Notes available from bottom to top...A,B flat, B, C, E, F, F sharp, G, A, then full chromatics from B flat up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Sure, Michael. Notes available from bottom to top...A,B flat, B, C, E, F, F sharp, G, A, then full chromatics from B flat up. In retrospect, it's kind of amazing arrangers were able to work around that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydstranda Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 If I remember right, the first drum corps high-tension drums to take advantage of kevlar drumheads appeared with Star / Blue Devils in the 1989 season. Madison was testing them throughout the '88 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
