corpsband Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Explains why the crowds are smaller now days and stoic. Excellent post. Laying declining attendance at the feet of Bb is disingenuous at best. You can put the whole G/Bb thing to rest by asking the brass caption heads/ staff what *they* think of the change. Yeah -- that about sums it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynthLine09 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Theres a video of John Hagstrom and fellow trumpetrs of the Chicago symphony playing pieces on instruments they made out of garden hoses and household objects, and it sounds great. Its not the horns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatoradeftw Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 I think some folks just need to get over it. The Jupiters are quickly becoming THE horn in drum corps. Haha. Oh really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BozzlyB Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Ask them what they think of it after the days of DCI are gone. DCI is dying. There is no saving it now. Drum corps has been dying for 75 years now, haven't you been paying attention? Edited December 2, 2010 by BozzlyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Dynasty horns are still DY NASTY You now, Ed, you rip on Dynasty, and you rip on Bb/F horns, but you are clearly forgetting that there's a corps in your very own DCA circuit that hasn't lost a show since switching to Dynasty Bb/F instruments over six years ago. And they've collected more than a few High Brass trophies along the way. Noting "nasty" about their sound, especially low brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 My apologies if this has been covered already, but are they going to Mapex percussion as well? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
