CrownFan4ever Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I have been listening to videos of mostly the top 6 corps drumline's from 09 and in my opinion I think it was one of the worst years for drum books. The Blue Devils kind of had a boring book, and so did Cavaliers. In my opinion crown and bluecoats had the best books in 09. Cadets kind of had a boring book and SCV well they couldnt do much because of their show. It might be the show the corp was doing and the music and not really allowing for a amazing book but I still think it could be more non-exercise like (BD). What are everyone's thoughts on this?

BozzlyB Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I actually thought there were several very interesting books last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Crown's book was boring to me. So was the performance. Great brass, though. I really enjoyed the top 7 other than that, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen all of the shows, but I disagree with you. Crown's book was boring to me. So was the performance. Great brass, though. I really enjoyed the top 7 other than that, though. I agree here. Lee Beddis' writing as of late is not that tasty. Just ramming notes unmusically for 11 minutes. It becomes very homogenized year to year. Also, halfway through the show, I swore they were just repeating drum parts from earlier. Also, don't forget the pit! Drumline and pit books are written a lot of times to weave together very tightly, so if you concentrate on only the drums, you're missing out on half of the percussion music.

SFZFAN Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Phantom had an incredible book, and performed it better than any line performed theirs. Unfortunately DCI judging put them much lower than they should have been because of the corps overall placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUCH MUSICAL WRITING!!!! :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaviesFan1 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 wow. "buzz roll books" -maybe it's just me, but I thought they played more than just buzz rolls. anyway, I think Phantom has the best book year after year. I also liked SCV's writing this year. I appreciate Crown for all the notes they played, but I don't think it was musical (just an opinion...) This year wasn't much different than any other year though, in my opinion.
