normy diploome Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Ok, my mistype got your attention. I meant of course, 2013. the scores are in (pun intended), the band camps are underway, the DVDs are awaited and the memories begin to lose energy. Before that happens, a simple question: Who in your opinion was/were the best soloists you witnessed in the DCI 2013 season and what prompts your choice? Some suggestions might br Allison Pryor, mellophonist for Cadets, or their trumpet soloist (s)? BD's miked horn player(s) giving us those "only in the studio" sounds Bluecoats' who sounded right out of PBS' mystery series. Cavaliers' fellow using that picolo trumpet which let us in on some secrets... Charlie on his baritone from Boston? (There were some beautiful bari/euph solos in several show this year in my estimation) Kevin LeBoeuf (Beef!) the poet narrarator for Crown (plus being hrn. sgt., MC for TOC small ensemble, and a hell of a nice guy)... Some drum folk/front ensemble folk... That soloist from Phantom who sounded sooo similar to the goldclad Missouri soloist the year Myron did the drill... Guardees? Who did you like and why? Kudos to them all! Edited August 19, 2013 by normy diploome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonR Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The mellophone soloist for SCV who stood in the middle of the field all by himself, unmiked, and played a gorgeous solo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

normy diploome Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 http://www.drumcorps...oloist-of-2013/ Thanks Ghost. I was away on tour at that time and missed this thread and DCP completely. Many fine comments mentioned there, but I am sure others have more. Moderators have my agreement to merge the threads if the moderators so wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks Ghost. Didn't find the dam thread until around page 34 or so! Just killing time before a soccer match to ref in 90+ degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drilltech1 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 There were also those two great soloists from Crown, one backfield, the other lower side two who played in the first number WITHOUT MICROPHONES. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Lots of good soloists this year but the guy from BD, mic or no mic, stands way out from the rest. Great tone quality and tons of musicality 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
