3rd_Star_Brigade Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 What do you think about the use of both Bb and G horns in the hornline? Blast! uses G bugles in their program, and several corps had a mix (BD in the early 00s) before the complete switchover. Personally, I feel that you get the raw power and intonation from Gs and the more tempered tone of the Bb. I'm surprised more corps haven't used a mix. It is clear that some programs can use it well.

3rd_Star_Brigade Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 When have there ever been mixed hornlines in DCI? BD 02, I'm pretty sure had 3rd Trumpets on Soprano Bugle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84BDsop Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 BD 02, I'm pretty sure had 3rd Trumpets on Soprano Bugle. I doubt that....with the Dynasty endorsement and BD's rep, it makes no sense to mix the line of the A corps...I thought BD and Cadets were the first corps to go Bb that year...and that all at once.

Hrothgar15 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 BD 02, I'm pretty sure had 3rd Trumpets on Soprano Bugle. Really? That's pretty cool. Have any other corps done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrothgar15 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 So have we confirmed that no corps has ever used a mixed-key (with G) hornline? Shame. So much potential there. Wasn't that the point of any-key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that the point of any-key? the point, yes. what happened, no. still, i was pretty sure that there were hornlines who mixed. anywho, i always enjoyed blast! so if mason was able to teach that ensemble with the mix of Bb and G, i would think it would sound great on a field as well.
