Hmmm, as a non trumpeter, those never really appealed to me last year. Excited to see what this season holds though! I have high hopes for this show!

oldbandguy Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Besides the screamers you'll also hear two low brass solos, a great tuba feature (of course, it's the Bluecoats), some improvisation and a couple of surprise features :-) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year they had heavy visual demands which, they filled with small ensembles or synths (especially in the closer) and it left me wanting a bit more full, ensemble brass playing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I think you'll be very satisfied...especially with the closer! Frank Zappa would love it :-) ps This corps is probably the loudest Bluecoats I've heard in 30+ years...and, at times, the softest!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinetic inferno11 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just as long as that loud sound is coming from the brass and not 6+ speakers and synth, I'll be thrilled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you won't be thrilled...but they create a better sounder environment than anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be rude, but can you please explain what a "better sounder environment" is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the corps itself will be creating most of the sound, although microphones, amps and speakers will come into play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
