kevingamin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Different opening to Nights in White Satin, partially due to the lack of percussion. Nice mello duet on the melody of Nights. No drill, apparently, for the middle of the song. Corps is on the move again, though, but stops again almost as soon as they start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 HUGE sound from the horns to end the show! Now, get some drummers out there and this corps is really going to blow people away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Next on the field are the Sunrisers from Long Island, New York. Their 2009 program is entitled “Homage: Three Tapestries” and consists of: Movement I - Regnum Movement II - Sacra Movement III - Proelium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 By the way, the stadium is still having network issues. Doug Peterson and I both have connections via mobile broadband, but, until the stadium is back online, the rest of the team is unable to post the photos and video we've been collecting throughout the show so far. Rest assured, though, you'll be getting plenty of drum corps multimedia goodness once the stadium's back online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 The corps starts out spread all over the field, drum line is in the midle with a lone guard member, but everybody else is on their own. Guard is out on the 5s on both sides of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Drums begin by rotating around the solo guard member, who is laying on the field. She gets up as they move away from her and does some dancing. Yikes, mello player is out of tune with the rest of the corps, but they've got volume so I get to hear it loud and clear.

kevingamin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Nice soprano/mellophone opening for the first movement. Now the low brass gets their turn. This is a very aggressive show and is a definite step above what we've seen so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 This show is in a similar vein to their Cirque du Soleil Class A championship show of 2007. Esoteric, but full of energy which draws you into the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Second movement opens with a pit interlude, very pretty. Small brass ensemble comes in next, followed by the rest of the horns. Gorgeous flags in the guard! I've got a picture, will post shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 No percussion at all during the second movement. Low brass sounds very blended at the close of the 2nd movement. Wonderful sheer white double flag in use by a solo guard member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
