kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Snares plaing on suspended cymbals. Great opening statement from the corps. Contras are laying down some killer walking bass line action. Now into The Song Is You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 We have three contras and one concert tuba for a player that's sitting down behind one of the tri toms. I wonder what his part looks like since it would have to be transposed from G? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 The colorguard is really great. Gold lame' flags with black and white swirl. Changing equipment here as the drums transition us into House of the Rising Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 House of the Rising Sun. After a brief intro, a mello and soprano duet play the melody. Very nice sound from the two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Baritone joins the duet. Excellent! Soprano stays up front to solo on the melody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Nice swing action in Give Me the Simple Life (I think). This sure ain't In the Still of the Night. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what his part looks like since it would have to be transposed from G? It's easier than you'd think. You can either read it (or rewrite it) down a minor third, or if it's all old-school arranging, just mash the third valve down, read it as a normal G contra part, and you're good to go. Extra points for pulling the third valve slide out, but only if you want to be more in tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Snares have siwtched to rope drums. We also have a drum major on a rope tension bass drum. Great classic drum sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember doing the third valve thing when I started out at Glassmen since I played a two-valve soprano for the first couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
