FTNK Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Also I happen to really like the short trumpet duet in Cadets 2006, though the finals recording wasn't their best. Calling Chris "The Lazer"... but yea, having do that killer drill and then step out for that little duet then jump back in...crazy. Not really a duet in the musical sense but the bluesy call and response section between the BD soloist and the colorguard and rest of the hornline in 2004 was AWESOME.

SkyDog Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 San Francisco's legendary KJAZ radio was only about 30 miles away from Concord... There were jazz influences even closer to the corps. One of the corps' neighbors (and friends) was the Concord Jazz record label. To quote the corps' web site, "The Blue Devils thank the late Carl Jefferson of Concord Jazz for giving us the idea for the jazz theme that continued for all these years."

How could I have forgotten Concord Jazz!? I even mentioned Rosemary Clooney who sang on the label - I've got old LP recordings by Stan Getz, Art Blakey and Byrd from BITD! Thank you for that great walk down memory lane! Puppet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dckid80 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 BD featured a couple of baris doing the Dindi duet in '81. Pretty good as well. '78 featured a sop and mello duet in Legend that was pretty impressive. '79 Guardsmen had that amazing sop duet in TOSP. Oh, everyone forgot the Scouts dueling xylophones from '75.

L1STEN2311 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I would have to agree with those who said any solo from BD 93 along with crossmen 04. The bari - trumpet duet is definately one of my fav combos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamMan Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Cadets 2000. Yes, it's snare and bass drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Lots of good suggestions here, but I have to say that SCV 1988. All the solos, duets, etc were much better than the '89 versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Gotta through out a little love for a duet I enjoyed listening to all summer in 1988. Jay Wise on Baritone and Steve Wyclaw on soprano in the Bluecoats 1988 Take Five Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstein Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Even after all these years in and around drum corps, the one that popped into my head immediately was Dindi. Simply gorgeous, every time. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
