MikeRapp Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Just watched the Mason show. The way the mellows blast through these arrangements so many times is so awesome! That little run right before the closing blast, wow! Just wow! Why don’t more arrangers use mellophones this way?

Because most arrangers aren't Doug Thrower...or Canadian. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbandguy Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Good day of rehearsal in Newark despite the rain. Ensemble time was spent working changes. There will be several changes in for the Pittsburgh show Thursday night. Hopefully a full 3 hours of ensemble Wednesday night with no rain delay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mellos are my favorite marching instrument so I’d love to see it done by more corps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(No idea what Thrower marched, though I wouldn't be surprised if he was also a mello.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marched mellow, played French in concert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
