xandandl Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'm guess the quad players will be on bass drums? Then again the front ensemble has been doing PT since the first camps as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman1084 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 10? Big whoop. Talk to me when they get 24 :-P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOyZ0tccvI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Didn't Cavaliers also add extra basses for the drum feature in '92? It's always a neat effect - more drummers is always better. (Shut up brass people - nobody asked you.) Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Spirit of Atlanta had nine for the Interstellar Suite show in 1989. I want to say they were there the whole show, but I'm not positive. they were. bottom guys even had rearview mirrors on the drums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Shut up brass people - nobody asked you.) Mike I think so. the recording is so bad, and they sound so filthy tho I kinda tuned it out.

perc2100 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 A video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRB5mjocF0s) that was released by Youth Education, the organization that runs the Cadets, had described what their 2015 drum corps show is about. At about 53 seconds in the video, George Hopkins says that they'll have 10 bass drums in the bass drum section. Could this be true? Or is this something they say to bring up the hype to their show? IIRC Cadets were toying with the idea of 10 for at least part of the show in 93. I vaguely remember hearing camp tapes that sound like 'Flight of the Bumblebee' on drums, and the written music is interesting to read as well! Obviously they changed their minds at some point in the season or something. As for this year: BRING IT! Sounds like fun to me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwanis Kavaliers had 8 in 97. IIRC the orchestration went something like this: * Opener = 5 + 3 on marching timbales * Percussion Feature = all 8 as a giant line * next chart = two split lines of 4 with pretty crazy writing don't remember what they did for the little bit of closer the drums played on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few times I got to see them live, actually. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
