Photographer Jim Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Just back from Sneak Peek. Holy cow! So many notes! Great power with total control. The music is going to just suck the listener in. They played sections and segments rather than the continuous score. Can't wait to hear this with the transitions in place. Looking forward to Family Day in two weeks to see how this translates to the field. BDB also sounds great. And who can't love BDC? i think anyone who loves the sound of drum corps will be happy with what they hear from BD this year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this will be a championship show from BD that people will actually enjoy and root for! From the small snippet I've heard so far, I think they will 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcsnare93 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Yes, I think a lot of people are going to enjoy the show, at least musically. Mesmerizing. Can't wait to see it on the field in two weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afd Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Just got home. Not sure they played the whole show. The first half is brassline treat. Tons of horn runs. Flight of the bumble bee seems to be the big focus. The beginning starts out with the whole drum line except the pit in a snare arch. The snares starts the show for at least the first 45 seconds then gradually the horns come in. All I can say the first 3 to 4 mins is very intense. I did record the whole thing so I'll listen to it more. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As intense as that one selection is, the segment with the "smooth jazz" where they use a brass quartet as the "soloist" will provide a wonderful contrast. I think there is a lot here for people to like musically. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassdude6171 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Okay holy wow. Just heard the performance from last night. WOW. Great Gig in the Sky was probably my favorite ballad of all time, but early indications from the Metamorph ballad make Great Gig look like nothing. And the trumpet fanfare for Crystal... wow... wow wow wow. This show better have as good visual as it does music because wow. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadevilina Crown Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Am I the only one who, even though I refuse to watch or listen to any shows before June 20, thinks BD will take the Ott this year? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
