benjmusic Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 You can audition on any type of mellophone you prefer, but if given a contract, the corps will give you a corps horn to make the corps sound uniform. This is the situation with most, if not all corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHSMB_MelloKnight Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 is there a corps that uses kanstul/TAMA instruments though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHSMB_MelloKnight Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Or where you can actually use an emoticon provided by the board like this one: instead of the 1990's version of :P. And what do you mean by "everything"? Are you saying that everything said by everyone (or EVERYONE) here is over-analyzed? I've seen lots of posts where comments are both over-analyzed AND taken the wrong way, so I'm certain that you're just here to insult people who love to talk about drum corps. In fact, I saw a study once here that suggested... you know whats funny? you just over-analyzed that comment and took it the wrong way :P plus who cares about emoticons. He wasn't trying to insult people (at least i dont think) he was stating a fact about most, if not all forum sites.

THEdevilYOUknow Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 is there a corps that uses kanstul/TAMA instruments though? Well Genesis has used Tama percussion for a while, and they just recently signed a deal with them to get a whole new line of Tama horns, and Spirit is getting outfitted with new Kanstul horns for next season. I think that's it. But no matter where you go, they will give you a corps horn when you get contracted, even if you have the same make/model of horn. That way if something happens to the horn, it's their instrument, and they can deal with it easily. Plus, you don't really want to subject your personal instrument to a full season of corps... this will be my first season, but I've seen/heard some things... it's just not a good idea lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academy actually switched to Jupiter a few years back. They used to use TAMA. I use a Yamaha baritone at school, a Dynasty euph when I don't have that, and I'll be playing a Jupiter euph this Summer with Music City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
