2017 World Championships Finals - Aug 12


Recommended Posts

Now the cymbals are on the basses, playing one cymbal with a stick to create a great rhythm.

Brass impact is huge! They're playing a lot of notes as well. Gotta love a corps with no pressure on them coming out to play.

Holy crap I've missed a lot watching High Cam.  

There's so much going on in this show.

Really, people. You need to get here early enough so you can catch the OC champion. Such passion and power, and a celebration of their accomplishments this season.

That's the sound DCI wants now.  

Crown's brass is clean but to my ear they play safer arrangements where individual sections are rarely exposed.  I'm not sure who writes for Crown but they remind me of late 1970s Phantom Regiment brass sections which can also be described as robotic.  It's a nice sound -- don't get me wrong -- but I'm not a fan of it.  Crown in '16 had that "sizzle" but now they sound like a wind ensemble.  

I couldn't have said it better

7 of the stages are now set up on side 2 to make a larger stage. After some guard members perform on it, the tenors do a quick feature in front of it.

Bass feature now.

Horns playing behind the stage, backfield, for a great echo effect.

Snares now take the stage with the trap set bass drums for a throw down. Horns and some of the guard do a block of body movement in the back field. Rest of teh guard is on rifles up front.

After another huge impact to end the second movement. We now move into the ballad. Trombone soloist up front on mic, low brass on the stages, which are spread out midfield again, layering a great sound underneath.
