kevingamin Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 It's a small corps, but they come out of the gate with lots of energy, starting with the opening of the final movement of Shostakovich #5. Guard is on Soviet flags. I'll get a picture up shortly. I have to say, the horns have a lot of talent and play well together despite their small size and difficult book.

kevingamin Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Drum solo is from the Nutcracker. Just one tenor, two snares, three basses, but nine pit, although two of the pit players are in guard unis and might just be in for the solo.

kevingamin Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Russian Easter Overture. Horns are starting to lose a little steam. They're playing A LOT of music so far. One of the horn players has an air cast on his foot and has spent most of the show in a wheelchair, standing at times when he can support his weight.

Danielle Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 All featured brass players have been really strong. One mello who had a duet w/ the sop soloist and some features is in a walking cast/wheelchair and goes between sitting standing. Nice job! Contras have a really nice sound and projection especially only having 2 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 They also have two featured guard members, one in white (Anastasia), the other in black (Rasuptin?). If I knew the story, I could tell you for sure who the bad guy is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 The closer is Pictures at an Exhibition - Hut of Baba Yaga and Great Gates of Kiev. Not like SCV, although the same pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
