JoanJ Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I voted for me: 1983 Garfield Cadets mellophone section. I still have Rocky Point going through my head! I think you should divide this poll up by decades. The demand, make up, arrangements, and approach to the mello have changed over time. And I am going to give a write in vote for Jim Prime Jr. No he isn't exactly a mello section, but it was his arrangements and those of his students such as Michael Klesch that allowed the mellos of Cadets, Star, and many others to soar. Nowadays lots of mello lines are 'running while running' so to speak, but Jimmer was writing that cool $% decades ago. Those runs in Rocky Point Holiday in 83' rocked my world. My trumpet became a second class citizen and I been a Mello to the bone ever since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishickie Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Although Star did have some serious mello lines for the few years that they competed, nobody sees the Cadets in this category. They have had some of the most legendary mello lines ever assembeled ('93) and have done it consistently for decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stradbrother Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 So I wasn't the only one to immediately vote for Star! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poprocks Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Depends on the decade for sure. Even year to year has lots of variations. I agree. 20 years ago, definitely Star of Indiana. 10 years ago, I'd say Cadets Here recently (the last 4 years or so) I say Phantom Regiment. Those guys are BEASTS.
