Massillon, Ohio 2017 version 1


Recommended Posts

Great visual and musical moment as lines of trumpets take turns just wailing. My head is totally bobbing along.

How is the baritone solo tonight?

Honestly, not good. Flat for most of it, plus tough times in the upper register.

Tubas and baritones are FLYING down the stage ramp! One of my favorite visual moments of the season so far!

I hate to say it, but I really think they missed the mark on which voice to use for that solo.  Think it would have sounded much better from a mello.  I just hope they edit down the intro to the ballad and slow it down.

They need to fix that

I'm betting they know it, too. It's a VERY exposed solo and he's all the way in the back corner of the field with no way to hear what's happening and adjust.

Can you report on synth levels in the ballad?

The synth is really not a huge effect. The miced hornline is the big effect.

Might it be he just isn't comfortable as a soloist yet?  I know, it's CC and just about everyone is probably good enough to play a solo, but maybe another player is needed.
