kevingamin Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 THe two pods reform into wagon wheels. Horns start playing backfield before the baritones play the melody of the opener, folowed by the mellophones. Full corps comes in and blows us away with the end of the intro, including a quick quote of Caravan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Excellent playing by the trumpets, followed by the mellophones, at the start of the next selection. Tempo kicks up and we get some groove going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Strong drum break on side 1 of the field. Horns to the box for the last chord of the opener! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 The corps turns backfield for Emmanuel, with a lone trumpet soloist surrounded by the rest of their section doing body movement. Horns turn front and surround the soloist and the pair of guard dancers. Mellophones take over the melody as the horns move across the field before the soloist returns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Baritone takes over the melody in what sounds similar to the Concierto de Aranjuez. Horns turn front as we return to the main melody before the baritone finishes the song with the rest of the horns backfield again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Crossmen visual package is the best I've seen for a 12th place corps in I don't know how long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 How do you watch the show and type that much at the same time? Sheesh.Raw talent, my friend. By the way, great work by the guard using gypsy rugs as both equipment and backdrop for their dancing. Percussion now up front for their feature. Guard members dance with tambourines around the drums, stopping occasionally for the drums to play on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Crossmen visual package is the best I've seen for a 12th place corps in I don't know how long. And they best they've had in over fifteen years at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
