Cadevilina Crown Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) 1. Carolina Crown - The flugel soloist, the red fabric, and the amazing hornline make this ballad one that will be remembered for many years to come. 2. Blue Devils - Not as good as "La Strada," but a gorgeous and melodic arrangement nevertheless. And the little girl made the end of the piece much more powerful than without her. 3. Bluecoats - A genius depiction, both musically and visually, of "slow motion." 4. Cascades - Never knew that Soundgarden and Holst would mash up that well! 5. The Academy - Just a gorgeous arrangement of "Feed the Birds." The A Major chord at the climax gives me chills. And I love the ending with Mary on the chimney. Honorable mentions (it was a great year for ballads): - Cadets - Disliked the counting, but the visual book was just stunning. - Madison Scouts - Beyond the creepy cutouts, the trombone solo and brass sonority was beautiful. - Blue Stars - Great combination of "I Will Never Leave You" and "Send In The Clowns!" - Crossmen - Brass feature at the climax. That is all. For the record, though, the things that looked like white pants were a bit creepy. - Boston Crusaders/Colts - Tied due to their use of singing. Liked it, but didn't love it. - Legends - Gonna show some Open Class love here. Their arrangement of "The Mountain" gave me chills.
