DCIHasBeen Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Any Vanguard show with music from The Planets is going to be one I enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 seems like impressionist music would be the best fit for this....but i'm sure it'll be wonderful. can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Look for SCV to bring the aluphone to the front ensemble this year. Rumor has it this instrument was spotted at a recent camp. This instrument seems perfect for the Cadets and their 12.25 theme this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Aluphone website. SCV and the Glassmen are endorsers so I would expect both of these groups will be using it this summer. http://www.aluphone.com/Endorsers.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevedb1975 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Look for SCV to bring the aluphone to the front ensemble this year. Rumor has it this instrument was spotted at a recent camp. A NEW and UNIQUE ....ACCOUSTIC.....instrument WITHIN the mallet family that allows for INNOVATIVE sounds and effects that does NOT sacrifice the integrity of the drum corps activity AND........as the above video says itself at around the one minute mark......"WITHOUT THE NEED FOR ACCOUSTIC OR ELECTRIC AMPLIFICATION" (THEIR words....not mine). I...........................EFFFING...............................................................APPPROVE!!!!!! :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: Anyone who says innivation can't be accoustic has now been proven wrong. I don't just mean drum corps, either. I'm talking "MUSIC".....PERIOD!!!! Edited March 12, 2012 by stevedb1975 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedb1975 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Seems like good standard rep. Holst is great music, don't get me wrong, but unless the arrangement isn't spiced up a little and given that little twist I personally think it might not be super engaging, but very good drumcorps. I've heard whitacre's choral piece arranged for the South Brunswick Highschool Marching Band about 4 years ago. I'm excited to see what they can do with it! Off topic, am I the only one who found this video about 10 million times more entertaining and of higher quality than the Broken Arrow video posted a few weeks ago? "Entertaining"? Perhaps. "Higher quality"? Not a chance (and laughable). Broken Arrow was the 2011 Bands Of America Grand National Champion. South Brunswick (though good) is not even comparable to Broken Arrow. Please, don't be ridiculous. Edited March 12, 2012 by stevedb1975 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHdork Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 <"WITHOUT THE NEED FOR ACCOUSTIC OR ELECTRIC AMPLIFICATION" (THEIR words....not mine).> Please...this thing...like all things in the pit...WILL be amplified. Someone is going to say, 'oh, but our new aloeveraphony can't be heard over the tubas...punch that up a smidge...' - and before long, the smidge has turned into an ear splitting squeal, and the tubas are lost. Let's hope that does not happen...and that I'm just having a dark moment here... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
