kevingamin Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 A little goose stepping? What school are we going to here, Academy? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I always love it when a brass line literally kicks it up a dynamic level. Academy just did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 You have to be careful selecting music which has titles that match your theme. They may not fit musically with what you're doing. Following up Academic Festival Overture with Barber's School For Scandal is perfect, however. This piece really gives the brass a chance to show off some intricacy.

kevingamin Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Lovely mellophone soloist during School for Scandal, perched on two of the school desks at the front of the field for great staging as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 By the way, while I've been loving on the brass, the drum line has been throwing down as well. "I think, therefore I am". Vocal quartet on the school desks doing a great chant of the above quote. Drum line getting a feature now with two trumpet soloists off to side one. I actually could have used more of that feature. It was over pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Ohh, lead baritones, your unison note in that register was melty sweet chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Pit interlude and then the brass comes in facing backfield. Oh captain, my captain time. The effect is a little lost since they're vocal samples and not the members actually calling it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Mellophones all up front playing while standing on school desks. Rest of the corps kicks up the tempo for the big finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Next on the field is Spirit of Atlanta from Atlanta, Georgia. Their 2018 program was entitled "Knock" and consists of: LIT Freak Flag Hurt Rattletrap Break on Through (To the Other Side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
