bryan2449 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Gotta love anytime a corps comes off the front of the field. I liked the design and effect of this show a lot but felt that the first corps executed better. This pit did sound exceptionally loud but I'm not sure it is the setup or just that they're playing too loud in relation to the rest of the ensemble. I didn't notice the imbalance during the first performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Next on the field are the White Sabers from Dansville, New York. Their 2011 program is entitled "Rhapsody in Shades of Blue" and consists of: Blue Morning, Blue Day Blue Devil with the Blue Dress On Blue Rondo A La Turk Rhapsody in Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice the imbalance during the first performance. CT had a larger drum line than Excelsior while having the same sized horn line. As a result, CT's horn line was at a disadvantage, plus they did not project as well as Excelsior. That's where you're hearing the difference.

kevingamin Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Yep, he said he is taking the chance to watch and take notes today. His shirt wasn't loud enough, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Nine guard, four pit, twelve marching percussion, fourteen horns, one drum major. That's three straight corps with fourteen horns. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 At least they're not playing Blue Shades. Heard that enough at DCI this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Nice park and blow segment from the horns. So far, them and Excelsior have done the best job of maximizing sound from their horn lines. Drum line is the tightest of the first three corps so far.

kevingamin Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Devil with the Blue Dress On. Never thought I'd hear that on a drum corps field. Nice sustain, tubas. Only two tubas in the line, but they do a great job of keeping the sound going. Blues In the Night, complete with serious plunger work by a trumpet soloist.
