ftwdrummer Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 So, I watched the video from Denver last night. Comments: 1) The thing I was talking about recognizing but not placing happens in between "Blue Rondo" and "As Time Goes By." Trumpet/mello or trumpet bari duet that, while not from "On the Waterfront," sounds similar in style...possibly a quote of "Children's Hour of Dream?" (Side-note: I've been afk for the better part of the last week--did we find any more championship-show callbacks?) 2) The closer still doesn't work. Which annoys me, because the rest of the show does. Normally, BD can chop things up into something new, and it's woven together quite well (e.g. the closer from 2014). This one has way poorer musical pacing than other examples in years past (I'd add in the opener from last year here, for example). It's performed very well, and I think the visual side of it works well, but on the music design side...the way it's currently arranged, to my ear, doesn't meet the standard set by the rest of the show (which is magnificent).

Not sure how much the visual will change, but I don't remember the last time BD didn't change their closer musically towards the end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my recollection, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
