kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Trumpet soloist reprising Earth Song as the corps spreads out on the field, playing back field. Final high note from another soloist, also backfield, as the corps finishes the show. Very strong performance, Crossmen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thanks for these updates... they are pretty darn good! Thanks. I was off when I did my coverage of the Bowling Green show, more negative than I needed to be, so my focus is on the achievement I see on the field tonight.

kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I love how the Troopers' tuba section comes on the field as a train, complete with tuba motion to mimic the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 you don't have to give so many updates. Enjoy the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Horns doing snap moves during the preshow. Kind of like doing the drum corps robot, but not like the Cavaliers. Wind-up sounds lead into an "old timey recording" of a carnival barker informing us what to expect. Horns start playing almost as soon as they are announced. Totally different opening to the show than the start of the season, works much better, more of a statement that the corps has arrived, although they do work the Infinity Chord in there.

kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 This is definitely some of Copeland's more experimental music. Excellent baritone solo. This show flows much better than at the start of the season. I'm getting the theme of the show more now. The steampunk outfits of the guard and pit helps, too. Nice mute playing by the trumpets.
