NanciD Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Now for an incredible moment: Coming onto the field now is a massed corps of honor guards and horns from members of competing corps, alumni corps, and people who are no longer marching but wanted to do a special tribute to America's veterans, as well as the heroes of 9/11. There are a LOT of people coming onto the field right now. This is an awesome experience!! Also, it will blend out those that suck but want to participate, right? Ok, I SO miss being there and hearing / feeling this! This is an emotional moment to say the least. I'm not even there, yet, I have tears flowing!!

George82 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Contras laying down a great bass line as a mello plays the Bolero solo. For those of you who haven't heard this piece, imagine Land of Make Believe meets Bolero. Serious power coming from the horns. It's called "Lombero" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanciD Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Thanks Charlie for all the great images from this morning's program! There's my Honey!!! He looks great!! Wish I could Hug him!! Love you Charlie!! Notice I'm not mentioning Allard. He's got me laughing too hard to respond!! Gene, don't worry... Diceman is a dingbat. Don't take it personally. Uncle Tom, you started all this nonsense. Ron saw your post about Port St. Lucie and he ran with it... UGH! Is it just me or are you trying to fire up the "Ron and Nanci Show" again?!?! STOP IT! Don't fuel him up... he doesn't need any help! Well, he needs help but, that's another issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard Rich Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) That middle voice sound is incredible. Can anybody tell me the breakdown of the horns? All mellos or are there some Frenchies in there, too? Got home @3:00AM ESDT. All mellos; 20+/-. Only counted contras this time - 9, with a total somewhere around 65 +/-. Curt Hawkins & George Headley screaming at ya in "LaMancha" and Mello Bobby Bonn in "Rio"!!

bmenmellobabe Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Didn't notice before, but one of the suspended cymbals on the trap set fell down. One of the members up front got it back in place. Also noticed one of the horn players has one arm in a sling and is just marching, no horn. New York music medley now building to the big tribute to the true heroes of 9/11, as well as Stars and Stripes Forever and a company front, complete with High Mark Time. The horn player with a sling is me, I am a mellophone and I just had surgery so I was unable to play, but in old time drum corps fashion, you don't let your drill hole go unfilled!! Besides already had my room reservations and was looking forward to the weekend!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob H Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Harlem Nocturne. Remember that horn player in the lawn chair? He finally got up to play the solo. Nope I march the show... that is our Old Timer Mike Siglow, 64+ and still playing Lead Sop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
