kevingamin Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Charlie Groh's wearing his Freelancers shirt in support. Drum major was just handed a baritone. Two valves, no less. He's still conducting, but I'm guessing he'll be playing a solo at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Yep, horn in hand. Nice tone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Soprano soloist just joined to make it a duet. Excellent sound from both of them. Trap set player, by the way, is doing an incredible job and is almost a show of his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Nice cutoff by the horns! The echo in the stadium added to the effect. And that's it! Thanks, Freelancers, for a great performance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camel lips Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Technically, they just played BEFORE getting announced. Steve Andermann just pointed out that he's never seen a corps so eager to play. :D Can't say I blame them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 16 horns, 12 percussion, 5 guard, 4 honor guard, and 1 DM for the Optimists, who are now pushing to the front of the field to complete their opening production.

jeff_demello Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 A shout out to my Freelancers buddies ... you guys did a GREAT show, and an excellent job on O Canada and the National Anthem. You did California proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Snares playing cymbals as the corps moves back a bit into their concert formation. All the horns are now on Side 1, guard on Side 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Moonlight Serenade. Warm tone from the horn line, well balanced, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
