msumello Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Alright, now I know this thread is old and past but I'm still going to post. Absolutely amazing!!In the top three of my all time favorite shows due to the awesome brass sound......unbelievable......those mellos............they sound as good as Phantoms mellos in "08 and '09.The brass kinda reminds me of Carolina Crown's amazing brass sound, especially as Crown one their first title last month. Houdini is.....well I really can't say anything that everyone else has already done........right around 4:45 the volume level is just insane,...the ballad was gorgeous as well.....I can never get almost all the way through listening to Houdini on cd because I"m constantly rewinding the track to replay some parts over and over again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The design of the whole thing is just incredible. I miss that design team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadets98 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 They had a Donnie Van Doren style brass team there then. That system is like running the wish bone offense. People can get impatient cuz it's not a flashy pedagogy even though it very much works. No, space chords or the like. So, a change was made after an off year in 2011. I'm really not sure of the specifics. It's sad cuz that brass staff was stellar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgerbob Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 One of my favorite shows of all time. 2011 was (and I really hate to say this after '08-'10) a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansasDC Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 That was an amazing drum corps. My son was in that mello line and it makes me so proud to watch the DVD and know how far all of those 14 and 15 year old members from 2006 came. The whole corps was filled with some incredible talent that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityMusician Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The brass staff is going to be getting them back to that sound. The brass staff was all new last year and this year will fix the problems from last year. Good things to come on the 50th cant wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
