POSITIVenrgy Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Crossmen announced on their Facebook page that their ballad would be Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" SCV's Winterguard used this piece in their show last year. It was just beautiful! What a great choice by Crossmen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeffeory Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I hope they use a trombone soloist!!!!!!!! Charlie1223, that's a pretty polarizing statement. I've listened to all three parts of this piece. As a euphonium major, there are a few parts in the third file that couldn't be played exactly on a baritone or euph. Trombones aren't legal in drum corps. Are you trying to be a button pusher again? A couple of glisses, no biggie. No need to change yet another rule for that.

Bell Front, any key, 3 or less valves. sounds like unless trombones are specifically called out as something you can't use I would think it would fall in the acceptable instrumentation list, although I would hate to see trombones on the field. They just don't work well in the marching venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
