Howdy Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Bottom line is that Spirit's book was more difficult, and Spirit's lead Sops were better. Yes I do miss Jason. Catherine I can do without. And please John, call me Mikey. Edited February 4, 2011 by Howdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Oops... sorry... Well I made a mistake, I won't post those youtube vids again on DCP, I am still sort of new here, finding my way around and such. Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaseyW Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I doubt there are even five lead trumpet players in 2011 in all of DCI who could play Spirit of Atlanta's 1980 lead sop book[maybe 3 who could play SOA's 79 lead sop book]. Spirit 80 was louder. Give it to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie1223 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) I seriously doubt that, being as Hunter remembers how difficult Jim's lead soprano books were. OK, put up or shut up. Post an example of a 2010 DCI wc hornbook with lead trumpet parts that are more demanding than this: link removed Here is a sample of DCI's 2010 winner. 2010 Blue Devils lead trumpet hornbook is complete peanuts compared with vintage Jim Ott's Spirit lead trumpet/soprano books: link removed You won't find anything even close, but you might find some great classical or concert band sounding music on the field these days... link removed And I haven't even begun to mention how much more demanding Spirit of Atlanta's 79 and 80 midrange book was compared to what top DCI wc corps play today. He shoots, he scores, he wins! I accidentally greened this post... someone correct my mistake...

Mikey well, you've been on long enough to garner the lowest reputation points I've ever seen on DCP! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWEST Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Simple Question. Do the new king horns project like the old 2 valve horns. (does the volume NOT dissipate before it reaches the target) Yes or No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Give it to me. Kasey I would post them for you to try if I could find them. Spirit's lead sop parts are posted somewhere online, I just can't remember how to find them. I'm getting oldtimes disease... All the best, and I can't wait to hear you this summer, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
