BigBadMadMan Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 They sound nice and full! Did anyone catch what the keyboards were playing? ;) Oddly familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalletMom Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I would think the Scouts should be getting a delivery from Yamaha soon right? Looking forward to seeing the new drum finish. Looks like a silver sparkle finish from some of the facebook photos they posted last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirdcoast Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I was able to make it to their ensemble rehearsal yesterday...WOOOOOWWWWW!!! I knew Robert W. Smith could compose great music...this will POSITIVELY be a historic season for the Scouts. Of course, I am a homer and love the Scouts, but I truly enjoy the level at which other corps play as well. Honestly, last year it took me a bit to get to the point where I really enjoyed the music. This year, however, they grab you from the first few notes. Talk about "Wall of Sound"!!! The music is so intelligently written...it takes your ear on a journey from one gorgeous line to the next. So many details you can focus on and fall in love with. Pictures on an Exhibition has DEFINITELY been "Madisonized" in an amazing way. If you can't stand the Scouts, prepare to fall in love with them this year. They're absolutely ready to mop up some top corps in the aspect of brass. All sections contribute equally to the "wall". Screamers...check, check, check, check, check, check, check. Battery has notes on top of notes and are executing at an pretty impressive level. I can't wait to see the visual package associated with it. Some of the men were saying that Smith said they won't be below 120bpm on the field. Plans change all the time...who knows. I know the term "hype" exists, but my comments about this weekend don't do those gentleman justice. Over 4:00 of completely memorized music that they received last week...not a dip in energy. It's January folks. Appreciate your face while you still have it. Still like this! GO MADISON SCOUTS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdcoast Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 So as I unloaded the bus last night with the president of the Madison Scouts, a little birdy told me they are having a full Dress Rehersal at Warhawk stadium in Whitewater Wendsday night... of course Friday is Drums on Parade, this show has been sold out 2 yrs in a row, a must see event... there is a reason. He was smiling the whole night about the Corps and what is in store for the fans. Can't wait! GO MADISON SCOUTS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
