corpsband Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Saw this posted on CC's FB page:"Dear Mr. Smith, My name is Mike Bucalo and I am a professional orchestral trumpet player. My career began in the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra in 1977. In 2006 I became a member of the Austin Texas Symphony Orchestra. I teach and perform actively in the greater Austin area. In my 30 year career I thought I had heard everything in the brass world. That is until I went to Judson High School Field tonight to hear the DCI competition. This was my first time at one of these events so I had no expectations going in. Everyone played and marched well, but CC came out and blew me away. Perfectly together, perfectly in tune, no missed notes, from the softest pianissimos to the Gigantic fortissimos, your corps was the most sonically stunning of the evening. I was remarking to my colleague from the symphony sitting next to me, Imagine a group like this made up of all of the best professional symphony brass and percussionists in the U.S. and this is what it would sound like. Thank you for all you do and best of luck with Carolina Crown. And my hat is off to the young men and women of your magnificent corps. Sincerely, Mike Bucalo Austin Symphony Orchestra" Hope the kids get to hear this!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crfrey71 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hope the kids get to hear this!! Now these are the "real" scores and why you march drum corps. I am sure they will remember this letter far more than the score they received from that show. GREAT JOB CROWN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywhopper Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I also didn't get the MMX until just a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OState10 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) I also didn't get the MMX until just a few days ago. That makes me feel a little better. Haha I thought it was just some cool collection of letters that they added to the end of their corps name. Sounds cool either way!
