kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 First time I've seen Surf's new uniforms, introduced last year, up close. I like them. Solo snare on brushes opens the show from the front right corner of the field. Bari solo plays the Death Theme from Carmen, followed by mellos backfield with a Kiss From a Rose quote. Only five tubas. They're getting blown away by the rest of the horns. Big hit as the horns turn front, but they don't stop for it, just keep marching. Crowd likes.

kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Killer bari solo to start the piece after the opening statement. Uh oh, sounds like I have staff members sitting under where I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yes, that is Bad Romance they're playing. I want to hit somebody. Lady Gaga doesn't deserve this kind of exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Nice mix of Carmen and Bolero by the bari and trumpet duet. Watch it, baris, you're not in tune and not together, a little mush mouth going on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Guard now bringing out fence props with rose bouquets. ####, this bari soloist on Kiss From a Rose is killer. Same one from last year's America? Wow, he squeaked out a high note while marching! ####! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Watch the balance on the last chord of Rose, horn line. Couple mellos stuck out a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Now going into the finale of the show, it sounds like. So far, I might have to put Cascades ahead of Surf from an entertainment standpoint. Surf's horn line is a little too unbalanced for my taste.

kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Next on the field is Teal Sound from Jacksonville, Florida. Their 2011 program is entitled "Sinvitation 7" and consists of: Judith by A Perfect Circle Weak & Powerless by A Perfect Circle Money for Nothing by Dire Straits Money by Pink Floyd Music from Scrooged by Elfman, Danny Sin of Pride by Naffier, Chuck Gluttony by Naffier, Chuck Sloth by Naffier, Chuck 160 BPM from Angels and Demons by Zimmer, Hans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 This seems to be the year of the outrageous 80s hair in the guards, especially if the show involves sinning or vampires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
