Lance Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 As I understand it from talking to oboists and research, the biggest issue about breath control is not about running out of air, but trying to get rid of it -- you have to control it very carefully so consequently you almost always have more than you need. back pressure! i swear to god, it does something to their brains 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 It's a bummer to see a bare minimum or lack of participation from the bigger corps that used to represent well: SCV, Cavaliers, Crown, BK (did they have anyone - I don't recall). Even BD seemed to have a lot less people participating. I know it's all about the corps' final placement, but I&E has seemingly lost it's luster to a lot of folks Look again. It's a lack of participation from ALL the corps. Two guys in trombone, a half-dozen trumpets? From the THOUSANDS of kids who are there finals week? What's the point? It's time to scrap this apparently bad idea in which only a handful participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 is it the cadets that forbid members from participating? i'm not being critical or making value claims. just asking a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownBariDad Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Had to find a real computer to read the results. Pacific Crest had a good showing at the Perfirmers Showcase. -- First in Aux Ensemble -- First in Multi-Percussion Plus 2nd thru 5th in several other categories. Well done, PC Performers! And thank you, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
