JoshClements403 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Crown is using a bunch of synth strings, especially during Roxanne. The Cadets are using an actual violin player for their string parts (and for a visual focus on top of the cake thing). I think I prefer the live string player, but I'm not sure I'd optimize for it if it means 1 less brass player for the whole show in exchange for slightly more impact in Roxanne. Especially because there's already so much going on visually during the fight scenes, drawing visual attention away might be tough. I don't know if it'll have any difference on the final score, but I thought it was an interesting dichotomy between the two corps. I think they use synth because it would take A LOT of strings for Roxanne to have the same effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyDad Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Ignore him, he's trolling. I don't troll. Why don't you tell me how Roxanne is in any way western. Because there's a bar fight during it? If they started line dancing instead, would that make it country? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 What part of cowboys fighting over a woman in a saloon and then an all out brawl breaks out don't you get? The girls are prostitutes working the room, drunk cowboys fighting? I mean, really? (Note, never things I thought I would type in a drum corps forum). I'm with you. But, really. Who cares! Roxanne is off-the-charts incredible. This number will live on for years to come. Go Crown! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
