Hrothgar15 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Now that most corps are fielding close to 80 brass, often with 16 contras, surely in recent years you might have observed some hornlines being just too loud, often overpowering the pit (at only around a dozen players) or the drumline. Which hornlines in recent years do you feel have been just too loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganhill Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 With the advent of the new instrumentation in brass, none in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillH Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Isn't this a bit like asking which steak tastes too good or which home run ball was hit too far ($1 to Major League)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ContraRich77 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 only thing too loud is a stick-out. As long as there is balance, there is no such thing as too loud. God bless the mainstreaming of the 16 member tuba/contra line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn craig Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Outside none! Blasts first trumpets were painful at times coming through the mics in the second half of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.morgus Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Well, We have heard over the years many that were overblown, out of tune, poorly balanced, and generally not very good. But too loud? Is that even possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brass Guy Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Louder the better ( blasting aside) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
