3rd Glasgow BB Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) 2010 Regiment for me. From the opening passage played out of sight in the tunnel to the 1st impact. Oh, and that pit... Edited May 27, 2016 by 3rd Glasgow BB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Lancer Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 My all-time favorite opening is the 27th Lancers "Crown Imperial"...here is 1975... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80h5F4q_HV4 Also love the 2012 Blue Knights opening to "Avian" with the hornline flocking like birds all over the field to the music of the pit. Lots of great openings throughout my time. 1969 St Lucy's opening "El Conquistador", with Manny's soprano opening bugle call followed by this huge hit by the whole corps. Cadets 1997...a great opening. 1976 Bridgemen's "William Tell" in the banana unis signaled a radical shift in drum corps...plus it was an amazing tune.2002 Blue Devil's "Ragtime", as much because it is one of my all time favorite Broadway musicals as anything else, I guess. I was wondering if anyone was going to say 1975 Lancers. That goosestepping in Crown Imperial was crazy! I am just going to throw out there 1975 Oakland Crusaders' Swan Lake and 1976 Seneca Optimists' Mahler' 7th Symphany (5th movement: Rondo). Both were amazing!

Jurassic Lancer Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) What the 27th Lancers Reunion Corps did in '94 with it wasn't too shabby either, MikeD. Finals crowd seemed to really get into it. I was in the Reunion Corps, and Man it was a thrill playing this, and the rest of the routine. For us old farts.... 1990 Star of Indiana 1979-1981 27th Lancers (any of the three) 1973 Troopers God bless you, HornTeacher! 1979 Lancers' opener announced to the world that George Zingalli was in the house!

I was in the Reunion Corps, and Man it was a thrill playing this, and the rest of the routine. I was there in the stands for "Once More in '94." I remember telling Bill Cook that Devils won the show, but Lancers won the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornTeacher Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Sounds like an F above double C (on a G bugle, so a D above double C on a Bb trumpet).. the 7th staff line above the normal 5. Wonder if they wrote is as-is (all those lines), a double F with an 8va, or a top-line F with a 15ma notation... that's one high note.. More ladders than a five-alarm fire... When a trumpet part possesses the look of a flute etude on steroids (range-wise), it ventures into the simple realm of insanity. Or in my case, profound jealousy.

Hook'emCavies Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 2008 Cavies. Thinking about it, they did a fantastic job at setting the tone for the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
