jjeffeory Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Looks like there is a trend this year with flugel horns. Perhaps another solo/duet? You have to check out the videos to see it, http://www.youtube.com/4LUDLpq35H8 Edited June 2, 2016 by jjeffeory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I actually like it when corps have an entire line of these "non-traditional" instruments. Yes, I just recently saw that '90 show and it was fabulous! I'm looking forward to hearing the show for this year. Edited June 10, 2014 by jjeffeory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) 27th marched one year with the unconventional trombonium in their brass line. It was fine.. I had no problems with it. The fluegel horn is something I can live with too. I hope however that BAC doesn't narrate this season's show to the point that its distracting and drowns out the music playing. Thats my hope anyway ( and for all Corps for that matter ) Edited June 10, 2014 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Detweiler Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 BD always had flugel sections...at least in the early-mid 80s when I marched. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan They were experimenting with their middle voice sections at that time too, right? Didn't they have marching alto horn bugles too? ...and marching french horns?

I know, as I was one of them. French horns disappeared in the mid or late 80s, though I am not sure why. Too difficult to play in the new-fangled high speed drill, I suppose.

I also was a French horn player, in junior corps and then in DCA's Sunrisers. When those instruments were in the right hands, it was a great sound. A sound that I miss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French horns disappeared in the mid or late 80s, though I am not sure why. Too difficult to play in the new-fangled high speed drill, I suppose. You misunderstand. BD had some strange middle voice instruments at that time. Some hybrid looking horns that looked like a cross between flugel horns and mellophones. Maybe those were the alto horn bugles? I know the frenchies weren't experimental. They didn't disappear in the mid or late 80s. Cavies, SCV, Phantom, and other corps had them into the 90s for sure. The began to fade because the Cadets, and then Star made all mellophone lines popular in the time frame you're talking about, which I've mentioned on here recently too.
