crossmen82 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 There's a guy in a Crossmen jacket who is Italian sitting near me. Just asked a kid if he'd like to get his picture taken with an Italian guy. Who wouldn't? that must be Nicola!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 If they are, I haven't heard it yet. I think I read somewhere that it's just a little itty bitty quote from the pit. With all that music they coulda done 2 or three shows. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I like the individual movement the horns do during the opening Harmonielehre statement, very chaotic, as dada tries to be. The guard uniforms have a little throwback to 2010 look to them, don't they, at least during the start of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Are they playing this yet? A snippet of "Rhapsody in Blue" can be heard in BD's San Antonio show; can't remember exactly when, but it's in the mallets, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I also really enjoy their no holds barred interpretation of Children's Hour of Dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Very solid drum feature. Is this fanfare intentionally almost, but not quite, like 20th Century Fox? And now for my second favorite moment of the show: Bela and Bird in Bb. So freakin' clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
