7567BC Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Although I didn't hear alot of it, I did hear enough to know I don't like synth's. I like amps for pits..marimbas vibraphone etc. But I don't think it is needed for anything els. Now synths...I find it odd that sounds are created when years ago if a similar sound happend naturally we get annoyed. Ala jets flying overhead at shows drowning out what a corps was playing. I heard some sounds last night that made little sense with the show being performed. Let's let the performers present the shows without PES's; Performance Enhancing Sounds. Let the electronic steroid era be over asap. I'm just sayin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem wit mic'ed solos if done as tastefully as Bluecoats have this year. Also, Phantom Regiment could have used a mic'ed solo in my opinion in their closer, as he plays it deep in back of his Corps and it does not project as well as had it been mic'ed. But this is just my personal opinion here on the use of mic'ed solos. I'm actually ok with this change if done uobtrusively and it helps project the sound better to audiences and does not drown out other playing sections in the process.

BAC oboist Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I can't think of a more pleasant drum corp night than last night. Let's forget the 495 traffic. I've already plotted a new route for next year. As I volunteered at the show, I only got to see the last 3 - Bluecoats, Cadets, and BAC. My wife and I had seen Bluecoats in June and did not like the show at all. As Bluecoats started last night, my wife went to get a hot dog for our 5-year-old, remembering the June show. When she got back, I told her she had missed something she should never have missed. Oh, well - the 5-year-old like the hot dog. As for BAC - I'm a speechless alum. My voice gave out during the encore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My voice gave out during the encore. I am right there with you. As a matter of fact I might have been right there with you. At the gate? It was a beautiful night in all respects. All corps did great. Boston was tremendous. Love Cali Dreamin. The only downer was the ridiculous traffic on I-495. That was a bit unusuall though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, we were at the gate. Isaac loved stamping people's hands. Next year, we will wind through Route 110 from Acton. Luckliy I did my undergrad in Lowell, so we could detour some of 495. At the concert I'm conducting on Wednesday, we're opening with El Capitan - a little BAC tribute. Awesome job, BAC, Tom, Mike, Melissa, Dave, Rich, and the whole crew!
