No, what is different today from 1692 and today is that in 1692 DCI used soprano bugles. Today we use trumpets. Some days I miss the good times from 1692, but I've accepted we can't go back.

It was killing me. I was wincing in the theater Thursday. I agree, get that boy a better horn. I couldn't tell if it was the young man, his embouchure, or the horn. But I never liked Yamaha concert Euphs during all my band directing years. They are horrible. Bessons or Wilsons were what we would buy for the better players. They may also have to re-voice the solo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like todays Corps attire much better. Its more breathable in the hot, humid summers. Edited June 25, 2017 by BRASSO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the corps were fantastic! https://www.facebook.com/notes/jonathan-willis/drum-bugle-corps-massillon-oh/10154434340700806/ Fantastic analysis! You had some interesting and actually shocking conclusions I think some would find surprising, in particular the order of the top corps you found enjoyable. I was there (as you know ;) ) and your picks are well justified. If you don't mind a suggestion, post the body of the text here so people can read it and comment on it.

I tried to post everything here and in the reviews forum. I kept getting a weird 500 server error message. It was really frustrating, so I just had to post a link.

Well I had not seen it and a lot of other people have not either. If you want to criticize anybody, criticize me as I am the one who reproduced the text. There are some interesting observations he had. Do you have any relevant comments related to the topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
