kevingamin Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Interesting mix of old school (2 valve G bugles) and modern (amplified pit section). Drill writing and music selection have also become much more sophisticated over the past few years. On the Waterfront is the opener. Incredible dynamic shaping by the horns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Another small but significant sign of the design changes with the Marines - They would never have done any type of lunging until recently. Great contra feature! Horns now playing backfield, building to a block center of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Mellos really kill it on a unison note before a full brass impact. Another thing about the Marines is that you know an abnormal space in the form is a missing marcher and not just bad intervals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are custom made Kanstul bugles designed specifically for the Marines. Does the uniform code really say that? Lol. BTW 2 valve Kanstuls are nice, but 2 valve king contras are the best G contra ever made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Promise of Living. This is like a Cadets retrospective. On the Waterfront in '86, this in '96. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
