kevingamin Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 OK, I think that's the first time I've experienced a conch shell solo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 The guard are all in blue raincoats (not famous) and start the show with umbrellas and newspapers, trying to keep dry in the storm. Storm sound effects come from the pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melligene Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Chops had a screemer back in the day when 1st appeared at DCA. Remember him standing on a ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Big sound from the horn line! Helps having five contra basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyp Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 The opening of Kilties is very modern! I loved the environment they set up with the prerecorded bagpipes and distant storm sounds. Transfer that to the live backfield conch shell and it set up a great mood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 They've got a soprano soloist in the pit. Liking the 6/8 feel of the opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Another first...The Proclaimers' 1000 Miles on the field. Baritones start it off, then hand it off to the sopranos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 So would they march 500 miles and march 500 more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyp Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 The tutti brass sound shows great training! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Half the guard is now out of the rain coats and now on rifle. There is a tambourine player in the pit who is totally working it. Love his intensity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
