Mike Pease Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Sorry Pio mom - I must disagree. I'm a Teal parent:) Seriously, it will be interesting to see how those two corps fare tonight. Teal has been rehearsing for the past 6 days in Michigan City with great weather and facilities. My daughter tells me things went well:) So they should be ready for tonight too. Good Luck to all! OOPS! Let's try that again. Sorry about that previous post. And we had them at the beach, filled their bellies with Perch, Salmon & Trout. Tomorrow, they'll be at the stadium again from 2 - 10. It's been alot of fun having them here. Great group of kid's & staff. Saturday, they'll be in the parade & their first appearance in the Pageant of Drums. They are excited to see the stadium packed. Backside stands full this year too. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Thanks Mike for taking care of them this week! My daughter said the salmon was delicious - and they so enjoyed that night off! I'm anxious to see them again - will have to wait on the broadcast on the 10th. Go Teal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzcon Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I watched the Glassmen last night at Clinton Prairie high school where I help teach the marching band. The Clinton Prairie kids got to sit in and watch all of G-men's ensemble there at their football stadium. From what I understand, the guard has recently revamped a lot of (if not all) the ballad work. Along with that, supposedly the drumline got new stuff for the opener. Overall, those two things are settled pretty nicely into the show now. The brass is quite loud (I noticed this last week at Normal) and sounds fantastic at very high volume levels. The drums are taking their new parts just fine it seems. The staff said they had a fantastic ensemble yesterday and so I think they'll see some good results tonight. Just thought I'd share.

Ah, Clinton Prairie. If the corps managed to have a decent ensemble despite the foot-tall grass they should be good to go. the brassline is enormously loud. Louder than the Bluecoats, at least even with Phantom. I don't know if you could say they sound fantastic when turned up to 11 though- still a lot of individual sounds poking through. For sheer volume intensity though, a very pleasant surprise. Just goes to show what actually keeping a good brass caption head for more than two years does for you.

Ed from Kansas Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Cavaliers 79.1Madison 74.3 Glassmen 74.2 Colts 70.05 Teal Sound 69.0 Pioneer 67.4 Racine Scouts 62.1 Colt Cadets 19.8 Sorry BozzlyB, but you have Teal Sound and Pioneer backwards. Pio - 68.3, Teal Sound - 65. I think that Pioneer is going to start sneaking up on the Colts in the next few shows. Also think that Madison will be a little closer to the Cavaliers, but the Cavaliers will prevail tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only have they let the sopranos loose...the mellos and baris are putting out some serious sound as well. Given time the ensemble will start blending and lose the single horn hits we've heard so far. We'll see tonight if 4 days has had the desired effect...GOOOOOOO G!
