Drums Across the Smokies - Knoxville, TN - July 19


Recommended Posts

I'm hearing from the Music City guys there will be a 5 minute hold -- lines of folks trying to get in and seated.  Stands filling up rapidly.

Is tonight the premiere of Les Stentors? I wish them well. They're the last of the Quebec drum corps. 

I'm pretty sure it is.

Homer alert:  Southwind 

Show start with techno beat in the pit.  The Corps announcement is prerecorded so it seems a little higher level than the solo brass entrance.  After that, this was a SoundSport group a few years ago??? Wow!

Highlight:  jazzy version of Superstition.  Riff start in the tubas and then the trombones take over -- solo, small group, all the bari section.  Love it!

Holy Cow!  A genuine, nice guy reporting for us.  This is exactly what I hoped you would give us from each corps.  It made me smile.

Heat Wave:

A bit smaller Corps, but not sound wise.  All the arrangements made the horns sound really full.

Highlights:   New Star Trek theme played throughout.  They did it proud!

Shoutout to flugel and bari/trombone duet.

When's the last time we actually had a timpani on the field?
