jjeffeory Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I'd hope to see some marching frenchies... Maybe some trombonium to balance out the low end timbres.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I'm okay with most of the new instruments being used except for Sousaphones. I hope no one uses them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) to me there's no sweeter sound then a French horn ,can't belive corps not using them ?

rancidrolla Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm pretty sure I saw a group of people playing trombones in a pic on the Blue Stars fb page. I was going to post it, but now can't find it. Either they removed the pic or I'm crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I have no idea why any band should be restricted from using ANY instrumentation on a field. If you can lug it out there, or even if you can get a machine to drive it out there, then use it., even if the musicians might have to sit during most of the performance to get it just right. Particularly if such instrumentation accompanies ( for just one example ), the singers and'/ or dancers well, in the show.

N.E. Brigand Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm okay with most of the new instruments being used except for Sousaphones. I hope no one uses them. How about a line of antique helicon tubas? Personally, I'm holding out hope for bombardons, ophicleides, and serpents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soccerguy315 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I for one hope SCV uses the trombones again in a fashion similar to last season. I loved the timbre and extra "oomph" achieved in the opening and closing hits. It would fit their theme too. Trombones could be considered "innovative" in a way to DCI. Let's see if they can apply an innovative way to use them. Meh... I would've thought the show was just as good with no trombones. And I doubt the trombones added to their score. I don't really consider standing still and playing a different instrument (that is basically the same) very impressive, but maybe that is just me. I would rather see SCV baris/euphs flying around the field than standing still with trombones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather see SCV baris/euphs flying around the field than standing still with trombones. I mean, assuming they had simply swapped the trombones for baris and euphs, everyone would have still been standing in one set. Wouldn't really have made sense to be "flying around the field" in that particular moment. Again, I just think it added a cool timbre and I like to see corps experimenting around. New sounds are exciting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
