Akron - Innovations in Brass 7/7/2011


Recommended Posts

OK, guard, if you're going to carry horns, you have to get your posture right. This might be a new addition to the show since Tuesday, but I've got 7 different elbow positions for 7 members.

Nice running collapse of the form to the front side line, horns!

Horns now playing backfield. I like the groove the pit and drum line just did.

Horns back fron. Big sound, but a couple trumpets are out of tune.

Interesting to hear how low the snares are tuned. I still can't tell if they're Mylar heads or just very low tuned Kevlar.

Park and blow segment after...yikes, drums.

Sorry, got distracted by the snare line's major flams.

The members are working down there, and they keep the energy up right until the very end.

Nice phrase there, horns!

They've got a lot of work to do, but it's a fun show to watch and, I'm sure, to perform.

No Gary Owen, I'm guessing, as the horns have to help carry the backdrops off of the field.

Can hear other corps practicing in the lot during show; very annoying and unfair to competing corps

I really wish DCI would stop corps from warming up in the parking lot within earshot of the corps on the field.

It's incredibly annoying to have a corps on the field trying to perform a ballad while you hear other corps banging away in the background.

Next on the field is the Spirit of Atlanta from Atlanta, Georgia. Their 2011 program is entitled ATL Confidential: A Tribute to Film Noir and consists of:

Death at the Olympic (from The Black Dahlia) by Isham, Mark

Love Theme (from Chinatown) by Goldsmith, Jerry

Harlem Nocturne by Hagen, Earle

Prelude (from On Dangerous Ground) by Herrmann, Bernard

Unfortunately, I don't think there's much in the way of warm-up space around the stadium. I'm still trying to figure out how they crammed the stadium itself into where it is.

Now, if we were at the Rubber Bowl, you could find plenty of places to warm-up waaaay away from the stadium.
